The Hand that Rocks the Cradle

Stupidity: Claire, in particular, and her husband are fascinated with Mrs. Mott and immediately accept her as a nanny, without looking into her background to validate her claims of previously being a nanny, or to learn more about her personal job history.

Stupidity: When Marlene deduces "Peyton" as being Dr. Mott's widow, she drives to the house to warn Claire. When she arrives, she foolishly decides to confront Mrs. Mott with this knowledge right to her face and demands to know where Claire is... which ends up with her being killed in Claire's place. Instead, she simply should have waited or looked for Claire, rather than confronting "Peyton."

Mistakes

Factual error: When Marlene goes to the greenhouse and is killed by the falling glass, this would never have happened. It is a federal law that all greenhouses, skylights, and entry-ways are to be made of safety glass. The glass would have to have been made of either a Tempered glass, which breaks in a thousand pieces, like a car window, or Laminated glass, which cracks but does not fall apart, like a car windshield. Neither one of these glasses would have killed her. Surely, law abiding citizens like Clare and her Husband would have followed the zoning laws that came along with building their greenhouse.

Questions

Question: If nobody was home when Claire got unconcsious then who called the ambulance when Peyton was outside with Joey?
