Other mistake: When playing poker, Stef says she has all hearts which is a flush. However if you look at the cards she puts on the table, there is a 6 of diamonds and 3 of clubs. Therefore, not a flush. Everyone at the table, (Lou, Mr. Prezants, Deacon, Spencer and Doug) all agree it's a flush. (00:13:30)
