Overview

  • Viewers noticed in Season 3’s “Silent Mode” that Lisa Todd Wexley mourns her father’s death even though she said he died in Season 1
  • Billy Dee Williams’s Season 2 cameo as Lisa’s biological dad deepened the confusion over how many times the character had died
  • Entertainment Weekly’s exclusive explanation confirms that the Season 1 reference was to Lisa’s stepfather, not the man played by Williams
  • The retroactive clarification settles the double-death plotline but highlights ongoing challenges in maintaining detailed continuity in the franchise
  • Earlier missteps—such as mismatched character backstories and visible prop errors—have already put the Sex and the City sequel under intense fan scrutiny
