* WritersCannotDoMath: Jimmy claims he hasn't seen Jess for seventeen years, Luke informs that he disappeared on the day Jess was born, but if Jess isn't 18 by then he shouldn't be a high school senior ''or'' working 40-hour weeks while school is in session. Plus, he's in Lane's year, and Lane is born the same year as Rory, who is 18 [[note]] Plus plus, he was in NYC schools before coming to Connecticut, and NYC groups grades by calendar birth year, i.e. everyone born in 1984 is in the same grade. This is in contrast to the typical August/September cut-off date most school districts use, i.e. half the kids are born in 1984, the other half in 1985. For him and Rory to be in the same grade, they'd need to be born in the same year. Realistically, Jess is older than Rory is, given Rory's birthday is in October. He should ''definitely'' already be 18, if not 19 or close to it[[/note]]. Jimmy compounds it by saying he can count.

** It's just a flub on the part of the writers, since Jess explicitly states his age as 18 in the next episode when Jimmy says he can't take Jess in or raise him. Jess tells his father he's old enough to vote and be drafted, and doesn't need to be ''raised.'' It could be spun as FridgeBrilliance, as it hammers home just how much of a deadbeat dad Jimmy's been.
