Revealing mistake: If you look closely, a bit into the fight you can see that Hailey is not actually putting any trash inside the trash bag. She is just going through the motions.

The O.C. (2003)
1 revealing mistake in The Countdown - chronological order
Starring: Peter Gallagher, Adam Brody, Mischa Barton, Kelly Rowan, Ben McKenzie
Continuity mistake: Ryan and Theresa are walking along the beach with ice creams. The amount of ice cream changes between shots. This is especially noticeable with Theresa's ice cream.
Summer: Where other than the Bait Shop are tickets always plentiful and the band never too loud to talk over?
Trivia: Mischa Barton also played the dead girl who threw up in The Sixth Sense.
Question: When Ryan goes to Marissa and Alex's apartment (after Alex told him to stay away from Marissa), he says, "If you have to work this hard, it isn't working." What does he mean?





Answer: He means that if Alex has to go so far as to forbid Ryan from seeing Marissa in order to maintain her relationship with her, their relationship obviously isn't working.
