Thank You So Much - S2-E15

There Is No Other Way - S2-E16

Continuity mistake: When Susan reveals her feelings in the operating room, the face mask Dr Ron is wearing covers his nose and mouth in one shot, then not his nose in the next, then his nose and mouth again in the next. (00:38:30)

There Is No Other Way - S2-E16

Continuity mistake: In "Thank You So Much" Valentine's day was on a Saturday or Sunday. In this episode, They are showing Bree marking her chores off a calendar for February and March 2006. The calendar matches the real calendar and Valentine's day was a Tuesday this year. The calendar doesn't match their previous episode. And they do state that "today is Valentine's day." not that they are celebrating it on the weekend.

TBA - S2-E17

Continuity mistake: Season 2, Episode 17: "Could I Leave You?" - When Mr. Beale throws a pencil into his mug, the pencil can be seen on his desk in the shot immediately afterwards.

Everybody Says Don't - S2-E18

Continuity mistake: When Bree is talking to Lynette about what Lynette would say to Andrew's lawyer, in the shots facing Bree her right hand is on top of her arm, but from behind, her hand is under her arm. This happens again in the next shots.

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.
