Continuity mistake: In this episode, Steve breaks into the school to improve his school grades in order to get into USC, because that is where his Dad went. But when the gang does go to college at CU, Steve's father is an alumni of that college not USC.
Continuity mistake: This is the first episode in which Kelly celebrates a birthday, and it is in March. A few seasons later, Kelly has another birthday, but this is celebrated in one of the first episodes of the season and takes place when everyone has just returned from their summer excursions. This would put her birthday in September.
Continuity mistake: At the pre-prom party, the head in Kelly's glass of champagne disappears. No time has passed, so it hasn't gone flat. (00:25:45)
Answer: The students were told by the faculty that anyone found to be intoxicated at the Senior Prom would not be allowed to participate in graduation activities. Donna had a little too much champagne at Mel's house and in the limo and got drunk. At the Prom she spent most of the time in the bathroom, being sick. As the gang tried to discreetly usher her to the car, Donna fell and Mrs. Teasly questioned her and realized that she was drunk. "Donna Martin graduates" is what her classmates chanted after a walk-out on their final exams, in protest to the fact that the board was meeting inside to make the final decision of Donna's fate. Big surprise: Donna Martin graduated.
