Whatever Possessed You - S3-E16
Corrected entry: Colleen's doctor tells the district attorney that her sickness doesn't follow the guidelines of normal schizophrenia in that the normal medicines don't help. This gives Allison and DeValas an opening to investigate what is causing her to be ill. Why would she give them such important information when she is in on the ruse?
Plot hole: In this episode, the Duboises make such a big deal about Ariel being old enough to finally learn to drive. However, two episodes previously ("Things to Do in Phoenix When You're Dead") Ariel drove to school with Joe, and Joe complimented her on her prowess.
Allison Dubois: I just had a weird dream.
Joe Dubois: Of course you did. It's a day ending in "Y."
Trivia: In the episode "Mothers Little Helper" When you see the front of the refrigerator, the word HARLO is visible on it, Patricia Arquette's daughter is named HARLOW, fitting for a storyline about mothers and daughters.
Correction: The family would probably have found out that the schizophrenia didn't follow the normal guidelines, as they would have tried to find information about the disease when Colleen got ill. Even if they didn't they would have registered that none of the medicine helped. As Devalos is a friend of the family and they might have told him, the doctor probably found that it was best just to tell him herself, so it wouldn't seem like she was hiding something.
