Other mistake: During the storm, after Peggy uses the axe on the McMansion support beam, when it cuts to Luanne running with the tow chain attached to Lucky's pickup truck, note the other end of the chain in midair is missing. The animation is incomplete at the left side of the screen.

Continuity mistake: While Hank is at Arlen City Hall, asking about forms for a legal petition, the first clerk tells him that Hornsby has been dead for 11 years. The filled directory board is visible on the wall. However, when the second clerk says Hornsby has been dead for 18 years, the directory board is entirely blank.

Square-Footed Monster - S13-E3

Continuity mistake: When the McMansion starts breaking apart, endangering the other homes, Dale's watch is on his left wrist, as usual. But when the neighbors arm themselves with tools, Dale's watch is on his right wrist (it's not a flipped shot), then it returns to his left in the next shot.

Hank: Calm down, Boomhauer! I can't understand a word you're saying.

Question: How can Dale be so oblivious to the fact that Joseph isn't his biological son or that Nancy cheated on him with John Redcorn considering in one episode Dale actually caught them both in bed together.

Answer: In addition to Brian Katcher's response: it's supposed to be a joke that Dale is always suspicious about conspiracy theories, mysteries, etc, but he is "clueless" about his own wife having an affair. Of course, as Brian wrote, many fans think that Dale is pretending to be clueless because he doesn't want Nancy to leave him.

Answer: That's the shtick. Everyone in town knows that Dale's wife is seeing John behind his back and that Joseph is obviously really John's son, but Dale is completely oblivious (he's not that smart of a man). In one episode, Dale even says he's not homophobic because 'John Redcorn is gay, and he's one of my closest friends.' Of course there is a fan theory that Dale is completely aware of what's going on but chooses to ignore it out of fear of his marriage ending.

Also, if Dale *does* know about the affair, what choice does he have anyway? Explain to everyone he meets that Nancy is his wife, and Joseph is her son from her boyfriend? If he wants to stay with Nancy, then raising Joseph as his own child is slightly less awkward. Especially while Joseph is younger. I know of one man who did this. It was obvious that his wife had an affair, and "his" younger daughter had been fathered by someone of a different race. An "elephant in the room" situation.
