Continuity mistake: When Jake walks away at the beginning of the episode and the homeowner notices the butcher knife is gone, the way she has her hands resting on the moneybox changes between cuts.
Continuity mistake: When Jake buys Chucky at the beginning of the episode, as it cuts back and forth between Jake's angle and the homeowner's angle, the way Jake is holding Chucky changes a few times. (Ex. In some shots, Jake is holding Chucky a few feet in front of him, in others he's holding Chucky right next to his chest, etc.)
Continuity mistake: When Father Bryce explodes, and it's shown from multiple angles over and over, the way his head flies into the air is different in some of the shots. In some of the shots, it flies straight up several feet into the air, while in other shots, it only shoots about one foot into the air and also shoots forward slightly, revealing multiple different takes were edited together.
Continuity mistake: When the living-doll version of Glen/Glenda/GG is revealed, after they thank Tiffany for giving them a makeover, the way they are holding the mirror changes instantly between cuts. This then continues throughout the rest of the scene, with them holding the mirror in a different way between shots probably a dozen times.
Answer: They were blamed for the death of Jake's foster brother, which was deemed a terrible accident, and they were sent to the reform school as a punishment. Presumably, when they had to leave the reform school given what happened, they were instead given community service as punishment.
