Pay You Back with Interest - S4-E7

Continuity mistake: In this episode, Lily's golden sprite tattoo is underneath the name "Dean" - "Dean" is written above the sprite's head, between the tips of her wings. A few episodes ago, at the end of "Your Father Shoulder Know - Part 2", Sean hugged Lily and accidentally lifted the back of her shirt, revealing the tattoo. The name "Dean" was not there.

Suggested correction: People don't always have the time and/or money for a tattoo of that size to be finished in one session. Dean's name was simply not added yet. Or, since the sprite appears to be finished when Sean hugs Lily, maybe Lily had not yet decided to include the name.

Oops!...I Did It Again - S2-E22

Continuity mistake: This episode establishes that Lily was born at the Live Aid event, which took place in July 1985. In the show's final episode, "Hello, Goodbye", Brad and Lily are graduating in 2005 (see the "congratulations" banner in a hallway at their school). Being born in 1985 would mean that she is graduating at age 20. It is highly unlikely that she failed and repeated two of her school years. Brad, who is the same age, is graduating with her, and he is a dedicated student.

Jimmy Was Kung-Fu Fighting - S1-E12

Question: How can Sister Helen give Lily detention when she sees Lily's tongue ring? She is at the Finnerty's house. Piercings are often a violation of school dress codes, but Sister Helen has not seen the piercing while at school.

Answer: It happens. One of my middle school/junior high classmates was suspended for fighting another classmate during the weekend, at a location nowhere near the school. Also, after Jimmy and Lily created the fake image of Sister Helen, it's easier for Sister Helen to get away with assigning an unfair detention.
