Notes:
 

·          Filming began on 8/13/03.

·          This is the first time Tru reveals her powers to Harrison.

·          For music they use "White Fang" by Dido - David Boreanaz (from Angel) appears in the video and he and Elishu were both on Angel together.

Goofs
 

 

·          Why does Tru keep putting stuff on her nightstand where she's going to knock them over when she wakes up?

·          The fluorescent tube Davis is changing appears to be working just fine before he removes it.

·          Ummm, Tru has revealed her powers (i.e., foreknowledge of the day) to Harrison in both the preceding episodes: giving him the Ten of Clubs in the first episode, and predicting the Tigers in in the second. So...why is he so skeptical here and she has to explain it again?

·          Why does Tru talk about how she's "lost" Meredith ("to coke and ambition") and Harrison is the only person and family she has left? She just managed to figure out the whole thing a few minutes earlier thanks to Meredith providing her with the 911 call made by Sarah. The way Tru talks you'd think Meredith was in rehab in a straitjacket screaming at the walls or something.

·          It's one of the most common mistakes in most crime dramas, but they have this little thing called a paraffin test. You fire a gun, it leaves residue on the shooter's hands. The police put paraffin on the hands, pull it off, see if the little particles are on it. There's no way Sarah's fake story would work here because she's the only person who fired the gun - the police would test her hands, and Harrison's hands, and know who the shooter was.

·          At the end, Tru tells Sarah she should have "taken half." Ummm, she tried - Andrew wouldn't give her the divorce. Tru's been investigating the whole thing and knows this, so her comment doesn't make much sense.

·          If someone told you that they were reliving days, wouldn't you be sceptical?

·          A phone call from Meredith doesn't make her close...

·          In the first timeline Meredith calls Tru from Sarah's house and tells her that Harrison has been arrested and the police have found his prints all over the gun. The police don't (and can't) possibly do fingerprint analysis that fast.

·          In the first timeline, Tru's outfit changes between when Andrew's body is wheeled in, and a few minutes later when she hears him whispering and goes to investigate.

·          Sarah's fake 911 call doesn't make any sense. She filed charges against her husband Andrew, because Meredith says Sarah went in "the next day" and dropped them. So the police made no attempt to locate Andrew between when Sarah was (supposedly) beaten by him and the next day when she dropped the charges? That doesn't make much sense.

·          Although it IS possible, it's highly coincedental that Andrew HAPPENED to be arrested in California the same night as the 911 call.
