Continuity mistake: When Carmen gets kicked out of Allendel in season 4, George and Angie suggest Saint Teresa's. Carmen says no because it's an all girl school, but she ends up going. In season 5, she says things like "the girls will vote for me, and some of the boys too" (when she was running for class president). She also told Angie about a boy she liked whose locker was right next to hers.
