Desperate Housewives

Season 2 generally

Continuity mistake: In the episode where Gabby kisses Tom Scavo and, in return, Lynette kisses Carlos, Gabby is making a smoothie. When she's drinking it (as Lynette and Carlos are making out), it keeps switching from her left hand to her right hand, depending on which angle the camera is facing her.

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.

Coming Home (a.k.a. I've Got You Under My Skin) - S2-E10

Continuity mistake: When Carlos is about to be vaccinated, him and Gabby sit in the waiting room. Throughout their conversation watch Gabby's arms. At one point she has them down beside her, then in the next she has them folded. In the following shot they are down again, and in the next one they are folded.

There's Something About a War - S2-E13

Continuity mistake: As the nurse is talking to Susan about the operation, the folding of the paper the nurse is holding on the clipboard changes between shots. First it is half folded over, the next shot it has been folded right over and is being held right down. After this shot it changes again and is now folded back without her moving the paper.

Silly People - S2-E14

Continuity mistake: When Gabrielle and Carlos go out of the house to investigate what is happening when the Chinese maid starts shouting, they close the door behind them. In the following shots the door is open 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.
