Continuity mistake: After "Lando" muses about getting to take Meg to the dance, the show changes to the family having dinner. Meg is bragging about the other kids stopping doing toad, and Chris has a spoon in his hand resting on the plate.

Continuity mistake: Peter yells at Lois and acts like a child, saying "I hate you!" and runs up to their room. He flops down on the bed with his shoes on.

Continuity mistake: In the cafeteria, "Lando" Griffin walks up to Connie and other kids at a table. There's a jukebox behind them and in that first shot, it is to the left of the table.

One of whom is a dark-skinned guy wearing a green hoodie and has an ear piercing. He's standing at the bottom of the stairs. Lando then turns around and walks into the door leading into the locker room, and suddenly the same green hoodie guy is already inside the locker room. In two places at once. (00:10:30)

Continuity mistake: At the airport, a man walks up to Stewie and asks him, "Aren't you a little young to be traveling alone?" To which Stewie responds, "Aren't you a little old to be wearing braces?" From the side view, the man's mouth is closed; then it cuts to a close-up of his face, and suddenly he's gritting his teeth, showing his braces. (00:04:40)
Continuity mistake: When Stewie is getting out of the hotel bed to answer the phone and burns his hand on the radiator, the phone cord is shown on the right side of the receiver.

Answer: Lacey Chabert was the actress who originally voiced Meg in early episodes. She left of her own accord due to being in school and other acting work; Seth MacFarlane has stated there was no tension with her leaving, but it makes for a handy joke for the show.
