There Is No Other Way - S2-E16

What More Do I Need? - S5-E7

Fear No More - S1-E20

Children Will Listen - S1-E18

Continuity mistake: When Bree is preparing a care package to ship to Andrew's camp, she sneaks some lemon bars into the package, and quickly closes the two side flaps of the cardboard box, leaving the end flaps out. In the next shot, she is immediately taping the box with all flaps down.

Children Will Listen - S1-E18

Continuity mistake: Parker is tearing the flowers apart until there are none. In the next shot, there are some flowers left, and when he jumps off the chair, the flowers have gone again.

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.

Show generally

Question: Where did Kayla go? When did they get rid of her and where did she go? And which episode is it?

Answer: Kayla was sent away in episode 16 (The Gun Song) in season 4, after falsely accusing Lynette of child abuse. She now lives with her grandparents - probably Nora's parents.

I'm curious why we never see her again, why she never talked about, and why Tom never mentions visiting her.
