Another error, or am I remembering wrong?

[(Anonymous)]

I thought I remembered that in episode 10 of season 1, when the avocados are being drunk and cute, Foggy asks Matt something like "whatever happened to that greek girl you were dating?"

But in season 2 Foggy goes off about how Matt was a complete wreck after the breakup and almost flunked out of school...

I can't imagine he'd forget something that catastrophic even while drunk.

Or am I remembering season 2 wrong? (I binge watched, so I could've made the whole thing up, I guess.)

No, Foggy goes off about how Matt was a complete wreck WHEN he was dating Elektra. He specifically says that ELEKTRA - that dating her - was the reason Matt almost failed a semester.

Matt got better after she left, if only because she wasn't there to inspire his recklessness.

And, as we know from s2, she left after the Roscoe Sweeney affair and never came back. So it's plausible that Foggy would get drunk - and drunk!brave enough to mention that Devil Ex who turned Matt into a hot mess for a brief time - and ask about what happened to her. There's no way Matt ever told him the truth, because the truth boils down to "Elektra wanted me to kill a man, I refused, she was disappointed and left".

Yeah. In s1 he says it like it wasn't that big deal. That he took that class with Elektra just to be with her.

Possible it could've been another Greek girl?

I think it just boils down to "we wanted an Easter egg and didn't plan for a second season".

OP here - and you're absolutely right, I didn't even think about that! I'm so used to assuming that the greek girl mentioned was an Elektra easter egg, that I've never considered otherwise. Technically, though, they never say her name so there's no conflict - it could've been anybody.

Makes more sense that way, anyway. Season 2 did not leave me with the impression that Elektra was at Columbia with them taking Spanish classes. LOL

Wild inconsistencies between flashback scenes? On this show? NEVER!

And don't get me started on what year Matt and Foggy crashed that party.
