Tru Calling

Closure - S1-E8

Plot hole: How did lily pollen get on Nicole's dress? Justin's girlfriend never touched Nicole; we saw the confrontation the first day, and Nicole just shot her and then must have left very quickly because nobody saw her. Even if Justin's girlfriend were covered in the stuff, it couldn't have somehow jumped onto Nicole.

Star Crossed - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: Tru tells Davis that she's "never had anyone help [her] before." But Harrison has helped her in almost the exact same way as Davis does, in most of the episodes so far.

Haunted - S1-E5

Revealing mistake: It was raining in Vancouver the day the outdoor scenes were filmed for this episode, so the actors were filmed under large tarps. When Tru and Paige walk together in the park, rain can occasionally be seen in the foreground and background, but not over the characters themselves. The ground is also wet everywhere throughout the episode.

Brother's Keeper - S1-E3

Plot hole: When Marco brings Andrew's corpse to the morgue the first time the evening happens, he says that Andrew was died "in his ex-wife's house." However, during the second instance of the day, it is eventually revealed that Sarah is actually still married to Andrew, and they are just separated. Sarah may have lied to Harrison about that, but the police would have gotten accurate information. In fact, when Sarah calls the police (the second time), she refers to Andrew as "her husband."

Star Crossed - S1-E6

Plot hole: Why does Tru think she's saved Adam's and Jen's lives when they don't die during the drag race? The race is happening around 5pm, 6 at the latest. Adam and Jen died very late at night the first time around.

Reunion - S1-E10

Plot hole: When Tru first arrives at the military hospital, a security guard tells her where Jake's room is, and she proceeds in that direction. Then a nurse tells her that visiting hours aren't until noon, and it's only about 9:30am. But surely the security guard would know when visiting hours are, so why wouldn't he mention that to Tru when it's obvious that she intends to visit a patient?

Haunted - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: Near the end of the episode, Paige asks Tru something along the lines of "aren't you going to tell me your real name?", showing Tru hasn't told Paige her name yet. But then Paige says "goodbye Tru" at the end of the scene.

Murder in the Morgue - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: The first time Tru goes to the reunion, she wears a colorfully decorated beige blouse with a knee-length black skirt. But when she jumps into the pool upon seeing Candace's body in it, she's suddenly wearing a white top and full-length pants, which happens to be the outfit she wears the second time she goes to the reunion.

Murder in the Morgue - S1-E9

Plot hole: At the end of the episode, Lindsay says that her note made one man a liar and another man gay. But how does she know that Craig lied? The first time, Craig said that he didn't get the note, and also demonstrated that he had no idea who Lindsay even was. The second time, Tru intercepted Craig and asked him to be nice to Lindsay. So he again told her that he didn't get the note, but also said that it's a shame he didn't get it, because she's really amazing, but it's too bad because now he's married. So he barely lied to Lindsay, and she would have no way to know about it. Tru didn't hear what Craig said, so she wouldn't know if he lied, either, and even if she did she wouldn't tell Lindsay, because the whole point was to make her feel better about the situation.

Haunted - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: The clock in the MCAT testing room reads 10:55 when the test starts without Tru, and 5:05 when the proctor tells Tru that she's more than three hours late. But by those clocks, she's actually more than six hours late.

Haunted - S1-E5

Plot hole: There's too much bruising on Paige's arm in the original timeline, given that she only had one injection given to her by a med student (on the day of her death). She doesn't appear to have had any previous injections when Tru looks at her arm in the second timeline.

Daddy's Girl - S1-E14

Plot hole: Richard tells Tru that Carl periodically comes around threatening to exact revenge on him unless he pays him off. The audience eventually finds out that Richard hired Carl to kill his first wife, so it makes sense that Carl can demand money from Richard and not face any consequences. But why does the story make sense to Tru? The way Richard told it, Carl has nothing on him, so there's no reason for him to be paying him off. Tru should ask her father why he doesn't simply get a restraining order.

Haunted - S1-E5

Plot hole: The first time the day happens, Paige is quickly identified as the victim of a drug overdose. However, we find out later that she actually died by violent strangulation. Yet the only sign of trauma on the corpse was minor hemorrhaging in her eye. There should have been obvious signs of the confrontation, starting with huge bruises on her neck.

Morning After - S1-E7

Plot hole: The first time the day happens, Tru tells Luc that Mark called her, and later she tells him that he wants to talk to her, and Luc is fine with that because he trusts her. The second time, knowing that Mark was killed, she decides that she should agree to meet him when he first calls. But she lies to Luc about what she's doing. Why? She knows that he wouldn't have a problem with what she's doing, but instead she tells a lie that conveniently drives the episode's romantic plot.

Reunion - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: When Marco brings in Jake's body, he says that Jake was given a "clean bill of health" after the removal of a bullet from his leg. However, we later find out that a bullet fragment was subsequently found in his leg and that an embolism had formed.

Morning After - S1-E7

Plot hole: There doesn't seem to be enough information about Mark's stabbing for Davis' computer program to determine how tall the attacker was. The main thing that's missing is any information about the angle of the knife's penetration. Without that, there should be no way to obtain the killer's height.

Morning After - S1-E7

Plot hole: When Tru realizes that the yellow-handled knife Lindsay bought was the murder weapon, she gets rid of it. As a result, Lindsay needs to borrow a knife from Tru's neighbor so she can slice vegetables. The fact that Lindsay bought a knife for Tru, combined with the fact that Lindsay couldn't find one later, implies that Tru doesn't have a suitable knife of her own. But Tru served cut fruit to Harrison and his date several episodes ago, so she must already have a knife like that. In fact, pretty much everybody does. And there's no indication that Tru went around hiding all of her knives. In fact, the episode focused on that one, yellow-handled knife to an overly dramatic extent that bordered on inadvertant comedy.

Haunted - S1-E5

Factual error: This episode misrepresents the scheduling and format of the MCAT. The exam is given in four sections, with an hour lunch break between the second and third. The morning session lasts three hours and fifteen minutes, the afternoon two hours and fifty minutes. If Tru was "more than three hours late" (and, presumably, less than four hours late) when she arrived after 2:30pm, then it presents two problems. Firstly, the session should be in the midst of its lunch break. Secondly, the test started much later in the day than the real MCAT does.

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.
