  • Sean's birthday on McNulty's separation agreement reads June 22, 1994. ("Hot Shots") However, McNulty informed Greggs earlier that Sean was 10. ("The Buys") The stated age aligns with Sean's appearance. Sean would have to been born in 1992 to be 10 at the time of his claim, which was in fall of 2002.
