Deadly Misunderstanding - S7-E2
Continuity mistake: Throughout the episode, Jeff's hair appears very dark brown, almost black. In the rainy night sequence when he meets Melissa, his hair is dark black in the classroom—likely due to being wet—but shifts to a noticeably brighter light-brown tone once it dries. In subsequent scenes, it returns to its original dark brown colour. This variation cannot be attributed to lighting, as in multiple other interior scenes his hair remains consistently dark brown.

Answer: At the start, Edward told Jessica that he loved the changes she'd made to her new book. Later, as his mental condition declined, he said the book was terrible and he wouldn't publish it until she made improvements. Edward's later note to Jessica was to apologise for saying her novel was bad and that he had been right about it the first time.
