Fans theorized maybe the plot hole is "just soft launching bringing Big back from the dead," but a source close to HBO told TheWrap otherwise

For those who’ve watched And Just Like That since the very first episode, you probably did a double take when Lisa Todd Wexley’s ( Nicole Ari Parker) father died in the July 3 episode… because he already died, right? Viewers immediately recalled LTW talking about her dad’s death when Big ( Chris Noth) died in the first season.

Despite telling Charlotte (Kristin Davis) that her father had died the year before Big’s (Chris Noth) untimely demise, the series nevertheless introduced the legendary Billy Dee Williams as LTW’s dad in the second season.
