Audio problem: When Carrie taps Doug's chest and says to go and change, the sound of the taps is out of synch with the motion. Most noticeable with tap 3. (00:02:40)

Continuity mistake: This is a very tricky one to spot as it happens as the shot is fading into black to a scene change but it is noticeable without the use of pause and/or slow motion. When Doug and Deacon are outside talking, Carrie comes out and then proceeds to walk back in and and audibly shut the back door. However as Doug and Deacon walk back in as the shot is fading away, the door is wide open. (00:09:30)
Visible crew/equipment: When Doug tells Carrie "eyes off" someone can be seen moving on the stairs behind them due to a foot appearing in shot and shadows moving. However no-one else is at home other than Doug and Carrie. (00:10:40)

Visible crew/equipment: When Carrie gives Doug the card, the top of the set is visible behind them. (00:10:40)
Continuity mistake: When Carrie turns round and tells Doug that she's telling Kelly about the card, the bottle top on the table is constantly changing position without being touched. (00:11:40)

Answer: Sara hasn't been mentioned in later episodes, and it suggested in later episodes that she never existed, and that Carrie is an only child. Kevin James stated that the producers couldn't think of an good plots to use with Sara, so they left her out.
