Peggy Hill: the Decline and Fall (2) - S4-E1
Continuity mistake: In one scene Hank is helping Peggy scratch one of her arms that is in a cast with some normal straws joined together. At first he is holding the last and first straws and there is only a few straws. The next shot he is holding the straws with one hand about halfway down (2-3 straws down) and there are more straws then there was before. After this shot the straws revert back to how it looked originally.

Continuity mistake: Before Hank starts arguing with Cotton near the end of the episode, Cotton has a can of beer in his hand. When Cotton is being held by Hank and swinging his arms at Hank the can of beer has disappeared.

Answer: Couple things, first only Peggy knew the truth about Hoyt (Luanne's father) being in prison and Peggy is the one who said he's on an oil rig. But, Hoyt is Peggy's brother, so she could have been trying to hide the fact her brother is in jail. Lucky (Luanne's husband) deduced Hoyt had been in prison, but seems to be the only other person to know the truth, so when Hoyt went back to prison, he kept Peggy's lie up to spare Luanne. Additionally, Luanne was there when her mother stabbed Hoyt and was arrested, so it's not like someone had to break the news to her and they couldn't hide the fact. With Hoyt, even if Peggy wasn't trying to protect her brother's reputation, she didn't want Luanne, who is a sensitive and emotional young woman, to have to deal with knowing both parents are in jail.
