Haunted - S1-E5

Corrected entry: Around the middle of the episode, Paige's father tells Tru that all Paige really remembers about her molestation is "the moon and stars," which doesn't make sense to anybody. Towards the end of the episode, Tru looks across the street and sees that Paige's neighbor has a large stained-glass window of the moon and stars, and immediately realizes that the neighbor is the one who molested Paige. Paige is already there, because her near-death experience opened up the memory for her. But why didn't anybody figure this out before? The moon and stars window has been in plain sight to Paige and her father for twenty years, and evidently Paige has been ranting about "the moon and stars" for some time now.

Correction: She also believes her father is the one who molested her. And since her father is convinced it is all in her mind, he is not going to look for clues. Even so, he can just assume she saw the neighbors door and implanted it into her "fantasy."

Haunted - S1-E5

Corrected entry: Where was Paige's body found? That's the kind of information Marco usually gives when he brings in a body, but not this time. The only reason for him to not say anything about it in this episode is because it would have made the plot too simplistic. Tru thought Paige was killed in the experiment, in which case the corpse would most likely have been found in the condemned building. But since Paige was actually killed by her neighbor, it would have been found somewhere else. We also get no information about how the neighbor disposed of the body. If we and Tru had gotten that information, the action could have been resolved in all of ten minutes.

DavidK93

Correction: Both the guy of the experiment and her neighbour would surely try to hide the body somewhere, and for the plot it would make no difference where the corpse was found.

Haunted - S1-E5

Corrected entry: When Tru doesn't show up for the blind date with Jeremy, he tried to pick up her best friend Lindsay by saying that she's "Too good to be Tru." Later, Lindsay says that he used the same pickup line on the waitress as he did on her. But the line about Tru wouldn't make sense to anybody else, so how could he have used it on the waitress?

DavidK93

Correction: "Too good to be true" makes sense to everyone, it's just 1% less clever without someone named Tru around.

Haunted - S1-E5

Corrected entry: The first time the day happened, Paige's time of death is given as 4:31pm. If that's when she died, then Tru should have known right away that the death experiment wasn't what originally killed her, since Tru saved her from that around 2:30pm.

DavidK93

Correction: Tru may have thought that her intervention caused her to run the experiment early because she was upset. When You relive a day, you are likely to disrupt the timing of events.

Show generally

Plot hole: Throughout the series, auxiliary characters are always far too willing to give all kinds of information to Tru. Doctors and registrars constantly give her privileged information about patients and students. Tru is often able to retrieve information like addresses and phone numbers from people's service and utility companies, when normally you must verify your own information before they will even talk to you about your account. Of course there can't be an episode if Tru doesn't quickly find the person who asked for her help, even though she doesn't usually know much more than their name, but it's still a bit conspicuous.

Past Tense - S1-E4

Question: What time does Tru work her shift at the morgue? In this episode, she was at work when Marco scared her from under the sheet. Then she was eating dinner with Harrison. What time did they eat? Wasn't it already late at night by then? Then she was back at work - I guess a dinner break makes sense for a nighttime shift - and she met Luc. The second time the day happened, she was at work when Marco tried to scare her. Then she was walking somewhere with Harrison and she hadn't met Luc. Was this after the same dinner she had with Harrison the first time? Was she still going to meet Luc later?

DavidK93

Chosen answer: The next episode shows that Tru didn't meet Luc after all, even though she should have been in work by the time he showed up. I think the answer is that the writers don't actually know.
