Tricker Treat - S4-E6

Revealing mistake: When Doug and Deacon are driving round trying to find Gabe's Pizzeria, they get into the car and pull out into the road. However if you look at the traffic, they would have hit at least 2 cars in doing so. But they don't, showing it's a projection. (00:14:40)

Ovary Action - S4-E12

Revealing mistake: When Carrie is talking about going to the fertility clinic, you can see the fridge behind Doug through the door. If you look closely just before the camera changes a boom shadow moves across the fridge. (00:01:35)

Jung Frankenstein - S5-E12

Revealing mistake: In the final scene of the episode, Arthur is searching for used bottles of nasal spray. He empties the contents of the trash can on the kitchen floor and finds one after sifting through the trash. However, the bottle had already been positioned on the floor next to the trash can before he picked up the trash can so it would be easy to find when the trash was emptied on the floor.

King Pong - S6-E3

Revealing mistake: In the final scene, Carrie starts to kiss Doug and pushes him onto the bed. The camera angle switches from what would be outside the window to beside the bed. The scene was done in one take from 3 camera angles. As the camera pans left you can see the center window is completely open because they had just pulled the camera out of it and didn't get it closed yet, and you can watch the window be closed by an invisible hand from underneath. (00:28:00)

Altar Ego - S6-E22

Revealing mistake: When Danny, Deacon, Doug and Spencer are fighting on the way to Memphis, you can see a blue outline from the projected background around Doug and Deacon. (00:12:15)

Question: Has Carrie's sister, Sara, ever been mentioned again after the first few episodes, and why was she taken off?
