Plot hole in season 1 episode 2.


WHen they vote for Trudy, if she can stay, they say Bray and Trudy can't vote because they are not apart of the Mallrats. But Bray had already been accepted in. And after Trudy gives birth she's says to Lex "Bray invited me to stay" and Lex replies "and who's he to do that, some of us didn't him here either" (basically acknowledging he is apart of the Mallrats even though he doesn't like it.)

Firstly, I don't think they were officially the 'Mall Rats' by this point, they were just a pretty much un-named 'tribe' staying in the Mall. I'm on episode 12 right now and they still haven't picked a name.

Secondly, Bray wasn't voted in. Lex points out on numerous occasions, like the one you mentioned, that neither Trudy or Bray should be accepted because it wasn't voted in that they could stay.

I don't really see the plot hole. Bray was never voted or accepted in, and Lex acknowledges that?!

18 seems a little young to be mayor. What were you, like, 12?

Bray was apart of The Tribe and should have had a vote:

Lex: So this guy just shows up spy’s on us for a few days and we just welcome him with open arms what if he’s checking it out for the Locos

Bray: I’m not

Lex: Says who

Salene: Bray does

Zandra: And we believe him

Dal: We can’t be to sure

Lex: To right we should put him in the cage until we know

Amber: He hasn’t threatened us or tried to steal from us Lex unlike you

Bray: I don’t want anything from you just shelter for the night you’ll have noticed it’s dangerous outside

Lex: Exactly which is why we shouldn’t be taking in strays

Amber: Does that mean you and your friends will be leaving to Lex we’re all strays now

Lex: I say he goes

Amber: Well you in a minority of one we’ve already decided


There was no voting prior to Trudy's initiation.
