Continuity mistake: Anne has the kids trick her by putting glue on plates, and they stick to her hands. She gets even by spraying the whole family with a garden hose - no plates on her hands. Then they chase her outside, and she has the plates stuck to her hands again.

Suggested correction: She has the plates on her hands the whole time she's spraying everyone. You even see the plates after Dean says they need forks and the camera is behind her.

Continuity mistake: After Dean discovers Joanna on the couch, her face covered in calamine lotion, he picks her up and carries her into the bedroom. As he sets her on the bed the viewer can see her face is free from any "spots" and/or lotion.

Question: When Grant comes to find Annie/Joanna, how does he know exactly where to go to find her? He ends up at Dean's house without knowing where he lives.

Answer: This is just speculation, but since he knew what hospital she'd been in, he likely went there and asked who'd claimed her and where they lived. It wouldn't be too difficult.
