The Delivery - S7-E6

Revealing mistake: Eddie's bar has just burned down, and everything is ruined. However, the glasses above the bar are pristine and clean. At the very least, they'd be blackened and smeared by the smoke and soot, even if the heat of the fire hadn't destroyed them. (00:10:28)

Continuity mistake: When Greta sits down with the shotgun, it is pointing directly at Lou, horizontally angled. However, after a cut, the gun is suddenly pointing diagonally, at an angle.
