    • Goofs
      When Theo Galavan stabs Jerome Valeska in the throat, we can see blood rushing from Valeska's mouth to his right eye. Later, the camera switches angle so we can see clearly the blood trace to his eye disappears ; the blood rushes to the right side of his head instead.

      [Theo Galavan stabs and holds the knife in Jerome Valeska's neck]

      Theo Galavan: [Theo drops Jerome to his back holding the knife in] I know, I know. This is not what we rehearsed. I'm so sorry, Jerome. You have real talent. But now, you see, the plot thickens. Enter the hero.

      Jerome Valeska: [Jerome strains and chuckles trying to speak] You said... I was... gonna be...

      [there's a silence as Jerome dies with a bloody smile on his face]
