The Real Thing: Part 2 - S4-E2
Continuity mistake: In the previous episode Jennifer sees Ellen Reed for the first time while talking to Alex (when Alex is holding Andy). In this episode, she sees Alex viewing picture of Ellen and asks "who is Ellen Reed?" as if she had never seen her before. (00:12:10)
Suggested correction: It may be that Jennifer saw Ellen Reed, but at the time did not know her name was Ellen Reed, just a random girl Alex was with. Did Alex introduce her as Ellen Reed to Jennifer? I haven't seen this episode in decades, but this is just a possible theory.
I do know that some episodes of Family Ties did air out of order. So maybe that's why?
Continuity mistake: In this episode, Mallory and Skippy are talking and Mallory starts a sentence with "remember when we were 2 years old..."? This is incorrect as an earlier season had an episode in a flashback when the Keatons just moved into their house and the kids were young and Skippy meets Mallory for the first time and instantly falls for her. Both Skippy and Mallory were about 5 or 6 years old in the scene so knowing each other at 2 years old was not possible.
