(00:11:35 - 00:12:05)

Move Doubt - S8-E8
Continuity mistake: Near the end of the episode when Doug and Carrie are at Deacon and Kelly's apartment, you can see a picture on the wall in the hallway behind them.

Continuity mistake: Carrie enters and says "Bad news", to which Doug replies, "Ya, if it's about being out of mini donuts, I'm aware and I'm not happy". However, in S7 E7 "Offtrack...Bedding" at the start of the episode Doug says he doesn't like mini donuts. (00:00:30)
Continuity mistake: When Doug is in the porta-potty you can see a tree outside the window to the left; however when Doug looks out the window we can see their are cars parked on the side where the tree was. (00:12:40)
