From Here to the Pharmacy - S7-E12

Corrected entry: Blanche is at the pharmacy talking to her boyfriend who is the pharmacist. A woman comes in talking about her son having a fever. He goes behind the counter and gives her a bottle of medicine which she somehow doesn't have to pay for.

Correction: I do believe that was actually the whole point. Bill tells Blanche that although he was a hero when he served in the Persian Gulf, in the States he is just an ordinary guy. When the distraught woman rushes in she says, "SeƱor Bill," so she obviously knows Bill, and when she tells him about her son's fever, he helps by giving her an over-the-counter medicine for the fever, free of charge, then tells her the name and address of a doctor if the boy's fever persists. Because of Bill's kindness, Blanche tells him he is still a hero even out of the military.

Super Grover

Hes wearing a name tag so obviously she knows his name. Pharmacists don't just give away medications.

The woman is calling out to Bill just as she walks through the doorway. She already knew Bill's name, before she even got close enough to Bill to see his name on the small name tag pin. As for your statement that "pharmacists don't just give away medications," Bill hands the worried mother a bottle of what looks like a fever reducing liquid ibuprofen, for her child. This is non-prescription and inexpensive. Bill's thoughtful kindness is the point of this short scene. This is not a "character mistake" or any other type of mistake.

Super Grover

Correction: I think the point is that he was paying for the medicine himself.

Correction: Blanche never looks in the direction of the dead body. She heads straight to the door after coming out the bathroom.

How can you not notice a dead body lying on the bed in front of you?

She thought Kendall was at the door. She never looked at him.

Home Again, Rose (2) - S7-E24

Corrected entry: In the scene with Rose, Dorothy and Blanche, their "heads" are on the table with ice around them. You can see it's just clear jello. Another clue being it doesn't melt at all. (02:17:05)

Correction: This is a dream sequence while Rose is under anesthetic during heart surgery. While it's true that it doesn't look anything like ice, who's to say what should or shouldn't look real in a drug induced dream?

There Goes the Bride (1) - S6-E16

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the episode, Rose says that Miles is in Europe with some students. The episode immediately before this one, however, revealed Miles being put back into a witness protection program, and leaving Rose.
