I think the CC writers (who, BTW, are completely different from the ones the show had during season one when that Stillman missing his daughter's birth reference first appeared) aren't worried about consistency here since it fits their story. Plus, the show has had about 3-4 showrunners since then, so who knows what sort of continuity has been lost in the multiple shuffles.<br /><br />My theory... Yates became a cop because of what happened to that kid at the drive-in 30 years ago. I think it deeply affected her and she hasn't been able to shake it since (especially since it was never solved). I think that moment in the backseat of the car watching this young man get his life snuffed out by an unnamed sniper was a HUGE turning point for her. Just my theory. I guess we'll all see next week. :0)TVFanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03077226156307117107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15114892.post-13851980288081253032010-03-30T14:22:17.417-04:002010-03-30T14:22:17.417-04:00I think the first shooting is quite possibly relat...I think the first shooting is quite possibly related to the sniper. <br /><br />I have some feeling that Yates and Stillman are close in age for some odd reason.

History has been re-writen for this story line. I would say that they are making Yates nearly 50 now and Stillman around 60. She was is junior after all.<br /><br />The "first on the scene" discussion in the bar with Lilly was about Yates' first experience of a homicide case. It was a double murder of a waitress and the manager in a coffee shop in Philly.
