Dirty Business - S4-E6

Plot hole: Starlight, Kimiko, and Hughie are torturing Tek Knight by transferring millions of dollars to organizations he hates. Even though it's needed to move the plot forward, there is no way they could have known the routing and account numbers for those organizations.

Suggested correction: Both Starlight and Hughie are probably familiar with a lot of organizations that accept donations and gifts through their former jobs as political representatives. Why wouldn't they know the numbers?

Respectfully, that's a big leap. They were political representatives, not members of a trust or charitable foundation. Why would they have memorized the bank account numbers of random organizations? Not to mention the fact that at no time do Starlight or Hughie provide the account numbers to Kimiko. She just starts typing and bam, the money is transferred.

Trivia: Simon Pegg's extended cameo as Hughie's father is a specific nod to the comics - the look of "Wee Hughie" in the original comics was based on Simon Pegg. Artist Darick Robertson said "it was important to capture an innocence but tough determination in Hughie. Two things that seemed to contradict each other and somehow in early sketches he kept looking too old. When I saw Simon Pegg in Spaced I thought he captured that balance perfectly." Pegg knew he was too old to play the character himself, but was happy to play his father.
