* {{Revision}}: During the climax of the previous film, Cole asks Bee if he is the first first kid and she gets very emotional when telling him "no". At the time the implication is that Cole wasn't the first kid whose blood Bee used for a ritual. This movie instead reveals that [[spoiler:Cole wasn't the first kid Bee babysat and developed a close bond with. ''Phoebe'' was. And Bee's original DealWithTheDevil was to save her life]]. No contradiction between films, but almost certainly not what was originally intended.

As noted on the character page, Bee's actions aren't altruistic in either film. In the sequel, she deliberately corrupts a 14 year old girl (Melanie), then sets her up to be killed just to set Cole up with Phoebe. Which makes Bee a Designated Hero, at best, or a Nominal Hero at worst.

Speculative troping. As no mention is made of grade skipping is made in the film, the possibility that this accounts for the discrepancy belongs in Headscratchers or WMG.
