Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead

Character mistake: When Sue Ellen first meets Rose (who says she's looking for Carolyn), Sue Ellen says Carolyn will be right back. Carolyn simply got up and left after a brief rude chat with Sue Ellen and never said anything about being "right back." Sue Ellen couldn't have known how long Carolyn would be gone for.

Suggested correction: She stated to whoever was on the phone that they would only have 12 seconds of her time because she had to keep directing applicants to personnel, so she would be "right back."
