Suggested correction: This is just a distortion of perspective because of two different camera angles. If you look at the pattern on the sofa upholstery you can see she is sitting in the same spot in both shots, midway between two vertical panels with red borders.

Continuity mistake: While it's forgiven that the Generals usually have subtle changes through episodes and the series, in this episode we see a General with extremely inconsistent graphics when Bo and Luke deliver the counterfeit money to Winston.

Suggested correction: This entry is incorrect. If you watch the scene carefully you can see the passenger's nose and mouth very slightly in the window screen, To add to this, if you look at the passenger window as the van pulls up you can see the passenger is leaning against it, obscuring him from the front window shot.
