Fear No More - S1-E20

Sunday in the Park with George - S1-E21

Season 2 generally

Continuity mistake: In the episode where Gabby kisses Tom Scavo and, in return, Lynette kisses Carlos, Gabby is making a smoothie.

Continuity mistake: When Lynette throws the dirty diaper, it hits the glass wall and falls next to the trash can, but when the camera turns to Nina, in the background, the diaper is no longer there.

Next - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: Lynette goes to her second interview and has to take her daughter with her. When she is talking to Stu the receptionist he is eating a long sandwich. In the initial shots the sandwich is whole, but by the final cut away the sandwich has been cut in half lengthways, with the second half now on the desk in front of him.

You Could Drive a Person Crazy - S2-E2

Continuity mistake: When Gabby first goes to visit Carlos in prison, they sit down at a table. Watch Gabby's arms. At one point, she folds her arms, yet in the next shot they are on the table. In the next shot they are folded, and in the one after that they are back on the table.

My Heart Belongs To Daddy - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: When we see Danielle standing with Bree in the kitchen, you can see a long wall behind Danielle without a passageway. But when the shot changes to Andrew and George, Danielle is standing in the background.

Epiphany - S6-E20

Other mistake: Throughout the sixth season Eddie Orlofsky attends school with Porter Scavo, and Danny Bolen, witch means they must be close in age. However, in season 6 episode 20, it is revealed that Eddie was in high school the same time as Danielle. This does not make sense due to the fact that while Danielle was in high school, Porter and Preston were about 10.
