Stand (Up) and Deliver - S1-E17
Visible crew/equipment: When Brenda is talking with Michael Miller, you can see a microphone come into the top of the frame.
Visible crew/equipment: When the scene changes to Brandon, Brenda and Dylan going to the movies, look closely. You will notice Brenda waiting for Dylan in front of the movie theater. Then later, they show the exact same scene when she is waiting for Dylan to show up on their movie date. It's very quick, but the editors apparently didn't catch it.
Visible crew/equipment: In the hotel room with Brenda and Dylan, right before he picks her up and puts her over his shoulder there's a mic drop in the top right corner.
Answer: There was no explanation. Usually, when a show doesn't know if it's going to be picked up or not, they will use stock footage until they can spend the money on a real location.
