A previous reviewer said that Ella's step-mother told Detectives Munch and Finn that Ella's parents divorced when Ella was eight. That is inaccurate. Ella's step-mother told the two detectives that Ella's parents divorced when Ella was a baby. Eight - baby - they sort of rhyme, so I suppose the mistake is sort of understandable, even though I had no trouble understanding it myself. I was watching a DVR recording of this episode and rewound this scene and verified that the step-mother clearly (to my ears) said "baby", not "eight". The difference is significant. If Ella's parents had divorced when she was eight, she would have been old enough to have memories of her father. Since she was a baby at the time of the divorce, she would have no such memories since the divorced mother forbade contact between the father and Ella. Both Ella and her slimeball father claimed they did not know each other when they "met" after her 18th birthday. If the divorce had taken place when Ella was eight, they would have known each other to some extent and the plot line that they didn't know each other would have been false. I thought the reviewer's mistake should be noted so that her claim of an inconsistency is debunked.
