Corrected entry: Paxton and his partner showing up in that family's back yard to tase and arrest Scott makes absolutely no sense. Firstly, they were following the helicopter. Apparently, they suspected there was someone in it they want to apprehend, but did they even know who or why. Remember, they know nothing about the shrink-tech at this point, and they just decided to leave the chaos at PymTech to follow it. Secondly, they decided that the briefcase, which they had somehow noticed fall out of the 'copter, was more important than whoever they were following in the 'copter (at night, no less). Thirdly, having decided the briefcase was more important, they somehow tracked it as it fell and went immediately to its exact landing point. It's difficult if not impossible to do something like that in broad daylight, let alone night time.

Corrected entry: Paxton says, "I know this van." How, exactly? He briefly saw Scott driving an older brown and beige van once, in daylight. It is now dark. The van has been repainted grey and blue, even inside (as can be seen seen when they open the rear door) and it now has assorted equipment mounted on the outside (ladder, winch, emergency light). Yes, he heard the "La Cucaracha" horn in the distance, but that is hardly a direct connection. The only physical resemblance is the side windows. If real cops forced a vehicle open on such a flimsy comparison, they would be sued.
Correction: No, they wouldn't. Police are very familiar with the technique of repainting a vehicle to change its appearance. That van is the same make, model, and year, three things he is trained to notice, as the one Scott, whom he severely mistrusts, was driving and it has the exact same horn. The odds of the two vans being the same van are pretty great.

Corrected entry: At the end of Darren's presentation announcing the Yellowjacket, Hope says, "Thank you very much, everyone. I will escort you out now." She doesn't escort anyone anywhere. She stays in the room and talks with Hank about having to make their move.
Correction: She escorts them out of that room, as we see all the guests leaving. We don't see her leaving, but she's simply out of the frame. As is common in business visits, once outside of the secure room, she must have had someone else escort them out of the building, so she returns to the room.

Corrected entry: Scott apparently had to seek a job at Baskin-Robins under an assumed name. When the boss wants to see him in his office ("Pronto"), he calls him "Steve." Scott is wearing a name tag identifying him as "Jack."
Correction: His boss says "Can I see you in the back, chief? Pronto."

Correction: This is just a bunch of assumptions that all can happen. For your first point, PymTech had just imploded, so they would be following the helicopter for an explanation of what happened, considering there was nothing they needed to do at PymTech since the emergency services were there. For your second point, they followed the briefcase (which they probably did notice), because the helicopter was spiralling out of control and was going to crash, so they thought they might grab the only possible evidence they have to find out what happened at PymTech, as anything else would be destroyed in the crash. And for the third one, they had the general area of where the briefcase fell, so they just needed to follow the screams.
