Character mistake: When Gabby and Bree go to move Gabby's stepfather's car, they realise his car is a stick shift and Gabby says that she has driven a stick shift only once in high school. This is incorrect, as in season 7 episode 8, Gabby has to drive Hector's car home, which was also a stick.
Character mistake: When Bree calls the police when she hears a noise downstairs, she says she lives at 4355 Wisteria Lane when her address is in fact 4354 Wisteria Lane. 4355 is the Scavo residence, not the Van De Kamp residence.
