Continuity mistake: While Mary Jo and and Carlene are talking about Dr. Hacker, Julia comes in and walks over to the other women empty-handed, but a cup suddenly appears in Julia's hands between shots. (00:02:30)
Visible crew/equipment: Right after Mary Jo tells Anthony to eat her shorts, when the camera points at him, you can see the edge of the set and several people behind it. (00:08:15)
Answer: The group, including Carlene, were invited to attend Bill Clinton's inauguration in D.C. Julia was apparently bothered that Carlene is attending a Democratic victory event after she had voted against Clinton and for Perot, an Independent candidate. Julia probably considers it hypocritical and something of a betrayal.
