Confessions, Confessions - S2-E12
Continuity mistake: When the boys are playing ball in the bedroom, Greg has on a pair of dark jeans. When they go downstairs to see the broken vase, he is wearing a normal pair of blue jeans. (00:01:30 - 00:02:30)

Continuity mistake: When the vase gets broken, it's easy to see that one large piece flies off the chest of drawers onto the floor. And when the boys look down at the broken vase from upstairs, three pieces are on top of the chest of drawers. But Greg - seen later trying to fix it - says something to the effect of "Good thing it only broke into three pieces." So what about the piece that flew off onto the floor? (00:02:00)

Continuity mistake: The vase broken by the ball is obviously not the same one dropped by Carol at the end of the episode. The first one was thicker and darker. (00:02:15 - 00:24:05)

Revealing mistake: At the start of dinner, in the wide shots we can see the table and chairs directly on the carpet. When Carol notices the leaky vase and calls for Alice, in the wide shot as Alice approaches the table, now there's plastic sheeting spread across the carpet under the table, as well some visible tubing under the table, presumably for the water stunt. (00:05:45 - 00:08:15)

Visible crew/equipment: During dinner, when the freshly glued vase with the flowers springs a few leaks we can see the top of the kitchen set in some shots, particularly when Alice makes the joke about three coins for the fountain.
