MISTAKES/GOOFS

PLOT: SPOILER: From Tobias's discussion of his marital troubles the time line of Maebe's birth seems unclear. Tobias makes it clear that the inability of him and Lindsey to conceive only became a problem after they were married, which was 14 years to the day of this episode. Given the age of Alia Shawkat and that Maebe is in her final year of junior high, Maebe must be at least 13 at the time of the anniversary. Given a nine month pregnancy, there really isn't any time for these conception problems to have come to light, at least during the marriage.
