Eagle-eyed And Just Like That... fans spotted what appeared to be a continuity error in the show's most recent episode.
Newsweek contacted a spokesperson for And Just Like That... for comment via email on Tuesday.

What To Know
And Just Like That... is in the middle of its third season, with episode six airing on July 3. Following its conclusion, viewers were quick to point out what appeared to be a mistake.
In a scene, Lisa tells Charlotte that her father died of a stroke "out of nowhere."
"Oh my God. When?" Charlotte asks. Lisa replies, "This afternoon."
However, in season one, Lisa told Charlotte that her dad had died the year prior.
TikTok user @michaelleahcim001 posted a video of the two scenes that has since received 991,700 views and 43,700 likes. The TikToker wrote in the video's on-screen text, "Has 'And just like that' completely forgot they killed Lisa's dad off already?"
While some commenters posed the same question, others offered another theory, with user @asunshine213 writing, "She might have 2 dads lol."

This isn't the first time And Just Like That... has been called out over a continuity error or filming faux pas.
In a video posted on June 3, TikTok user @jnahaley highlighted a scene in which Seema Patel (Sarita Choudhury) held an ice cream cone that didn't seem to melt or move while she chatted with Carrie.
"Can we at least pretend we're eating real gelato?" the user said in the video. "Watch. Watch as this actress just flings around this cone. I hate this show so much."
In season two, Charlotte's husband, Harry Goldenblatt (Evan Handler), said his mother had been dead for 10 years. However, SATC fans pointed out that if that were true, Charlotte would have been able to meet her mother-in-law, whose deathbed wish was that her son marry a Jewish woman.
User @andrewmcb wrote on X, formerly Twitter, at the time: "Harry's mom died before he met Charlotte that was the whole reason she converted to Judaism so they could get married after he broke up with her because she wasn't Jewish, it was a huge story arc in #SATC & not 1 person spotted this error?! Terrible writing #AndJustLikeThat."

In the comments section of the viral TikTok video, user @eminafandi28 wrote: "Can someone send this to HBO...."
User @gabrielsykez wrote: "You'd think the actress would remember doing the scene."
Internet personality Benedict Townsend wrote: "That's actually craaaazy."

Puppy Playing in the Dark Discovers Shadow—Owner Can't Cope With Reaction
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Internet viewers have found a new superstar in the form of a dog who has discovered his shadow. TikTok user Lee, who posts under the username @lee_401, is the proud owner of two dogs: Gracie the "gentle giant"; and yellow Labrador retriever Max, who joined the family in 2024. Max is still very much in his puppy phase, and a video of the Labrador discovering his shadow has gone viral—because he was determined to make friends with it. In a clip posted on July 28 and already boasting more than 1.4 million views, Max's owner stands outside, looking at where Max is playing in the yard. It is dark, and the porch lights are casting his shadow huge against the opposing wall. And Max thinks he has found a new friend, as he runs backwards and forwards, left and right, jumping toward all sides, as his shadow copies his every movement. Max tilts his head, looking confused, but his tail continues wagging as he does the play bow, indicating he wants to be friends with the mystery dog. His owner captioned the sweet video: "Max made a new friend named 'Shadow'." And TikTok users instantly fell in love, awarding the video close to 250,000 likes in a matter of days, as one commenter wrote: "Your black lab is just as fast as your other dog." Another suggested the interaction would "make a great Pixar short," as a third posted: "I also thought there was another dog there, don't worry little guy." That user wasn't the only one, as another said they "legit thought he was playing with a larger black dog," and a third agreed: "It took me a hot minute to realize there was only one dog." Max chases his own shadow, trying to play with it. Max chases his own shadow, trying to play with it. TikTok @lee_401 Some commenters worried chasing shadows was not a good sign: while young dogs may do it for play, or out of curiosity and excitement, some canines can develop compulsive shadow-chasing in the form of Compulsive Canine Disorder, similar to OCD in humans, according to a vet-reviewed report by Dogster. However, Max's owner assured one concerned commenter that Max is just "being a puppy." "He has a sister he plays with all the time, he goes to doggy day care, and he goes and visits one of his littermates," Lee said. Newsweek has contacted @lee_401 via TikTok for comment on this story.

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A woman in England has melted the hearts of viewers on TikTok after sharing a quiet yet powerful moment between her and her newly adopted dogs, Miso and Pickle, as they settled into their new home after being rescued from Romania. The dogs' early bond with their new owner was chronicled in a video by @ which was shared to the platform on July 29. Viewers were able to see the two skittish dogs hesitantly stepping into their new life, gradually warming to the unfamiliar setting. Within an hour, they transformed from appearing fearful to showing the first signs of trust and connection. The short clip has been viewed more than 300,000 times and liked by over 23,000 users, striking a chord with viewers around the world. The footage begins with the dogs arriving at the woman's home in England, after traveling from Romania. At first, they are reluctant to enter, clearly unsure of their surroundings. An overlaid text on the video documents the first meeting step by step: "Nervous to come inside at first...I offered some seems very keen but Miso is still a bit but still him some space to the new approach to sniff...'I feel safe with you...I think we're home.'" By the end of the clip, the pair are captured nestled comfortably against their new owner, a moment of peace replacing their earlier anxiety. The caption accompanying the post read: "First hour with my Romanian rescue dogs. They were tired, scared and hungry for love. They melted my heart the moment I saw them. Welcome home my babies." What resonated with viewers was not just the animals' adjustment, but the understated demonstration of patience and empathy it took to help them feel safe. In the span of a few short clips, the dogs were shown relaxing their guard and embracing their new home. The pet owner has quickly drawn admiration, with viewers praising the calm and respectful introduction to a new environment. "Who are you and why are you making me cry at this time in the morning?" one viewer commented. "Like seriously who do you think you are. I love seeing the dogs' bodies relax, and their body language change over the course of the hour. They knew so quickly they were safe. Following to see how these precious babies learn to love life." "Wow this is so wonderful to see," another added. "We have adopted two Romanian street dogs over the years, and it is tough at times, but these guys are doing so well. Thank you for adopting them. Such lucky dogs." "I just finished a [12-hour] night shift, and this just made me go to bed feeling happy," a third viewer shared. "I know two angels are forever safe."

Americans Book 'Art Hotel' in Japan—Can't Cope With What It Turns Out To Be
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. When Christen Puckett and Jordan Carlyle opened the door to their hotel room in Japan, they weren't expecting mood lighting, red curtains and what was described to look like a set from a Fifty Shades of Grey film sequel. The two best friends, who run the TikTok travel account @wheretonextyall, documented their unexpected experience at the BNA Alter Museum, a boutique art hotel in Kyoto, on July 15. In the clip—which has since racked up over 3.4 million views—the women burst into laughter upon realizing their room looked less like an art exhibit and more like a love motel. Puckett, 28, from Kentucky, and Carlyle, 27, from Colorado, created their TikTok page to document their travels around the globe. "We are best friends and created our travel page to showcase how the world truly is," they told Newsweek. "Three years ago we quit our corporate jobs to travel and now we've traveled to over 30 countries together." Text overlaid on the video sets the tone: "POV [point of view]: your friend told you she booked a two bedroom art hotel in Kyoto but you open up the door to this..." A screenshot from a viral video capturing the moment two women check into an art hotel in Japan and are shocked by the room they've been given. A screenshot from a viral video capturing the moment two women check into an art hotel in Japan and are shocked by the room they've been given. @wheretonextyall on TikTok The video captures the moment they step into the room, where a single large bed sits beneath dark red drapery in dim lighting. "It's like a sex room," one of the women says through laughter, noting that it's like "Fifty Shades of did you book us?" The other jokes: "They really wanted to make it romantic I guess... literally I feel like we're in a love motel." Their surprise resonated with viewers amid a strong year for international travel. The UN World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) reported that 300 million tourists traveled globally in the first quarter of 2025, about 14 million more than the same period last year, driven by what the agency called "robust and sustained travel demand." The hotel in question, the BNA Alter Museum, is a boutique property known for its avant-garde, art-themed rooms. The two friends had never stayed there before and were intrigued by its creative aesthetic. "We knew the hotel would be artsy because it looked like a super cool art museum online," they said. "But when we booked it with credit card points it was advertised with two beds. It only had a large king when we walked in." Even during check-in, the room assignment raised questions. "When we checked in, we got our room and even asked if it was a two-bed suite because that's what we booked," they explained. "They said no, but if you need us to put a second bed in there we can." Not wanting to cause any trouble, they declined the offer and proceeded to the room, unaware of what awaited them. "We didn't want to be difficult and had no clue what it looked like," they said. "So, we declined and said it was okay. We walked in and then the rest was documented in our video. We were definitely shocked but we loved the hotel overall and it was super unique and artsy." Despite the mix-up, the two friends didn't let the awkward setup derail their stay. "We had no clue the room would be romantic," but "it honestly was such a cool hotel," they said.
