Mama's Girl - S2-E14

Continuity mistake: When Spinelli goes to sit with the other kids at lunch, there is a kid in a red shirt sitting behind T.J, eating his lunch with his spoon. When Spinelli slaps her tray away from her, this kid's right arm is now suddenly resting next to his tray, and his spoon disappears from his hand. He then changes the position of his body and hands, and in the next shot, he's back to his original position.
