I think about the scene where Perez asks Hoffman if he’s getting that stuffed animal for a boy or a girl a lot.
Partly because Perez following that question up with ‘I didn’t know you had a daughter’ makes her seem like someone who’s a little nosey and has a tendency to jump to conclusions (and I like writing her that way) -
But also because Hoffman going along with it and saying he *does* have a daughter would be a WILDLY stupid thing to lie to an FBI AGENT about.
So maybe it’s bad writing, or maybe its poor foresight on Mr. Detective’s part…or maybe, just maybe, Hoffman actually has a daughter somewhere.
