Desperate Housewives

Gossip - S3-E20

Getting Married Today - S3-E23

Continuity mistake: Gabby's hair in the beginning has her bun high on her head and her tiara is visible from the front. When Bree walks in, and when she overhears Victor and his father talking, her tiara is farther back on her head and no longer visible from the front.

Welcome to Kanagawa - S4-E10

Continuity mistake: Adam hands Katherine the note he found on the floor written by her aunt in a previous episode. Katherine is holding the paper up. When Adam walks around her in the next shot, the paper is gone and Katherine is only holding her keys/purse. The close up of Katherine (the very next shot) shows her holding the paper again.

Hello, Little Girl - S4-E13

Continuity mistake: At the end of the previous episode, an unknown someone can be seen circling Dylan's face on a picture of her and Katherine in the newspaper reporting on the Founder's Ball. In this episode, we see the cop who pulled Dylan over get back in his truck where a copy of the newspaper sits on the passenger seat. This time, both Dylan and Katherine are circled.

Mother Said - S4-E15

Continuity mistake: When Orson is on the phone with his lawyer, he sets down the notepad with a page half filled with writing at the front. However, later in the scene Edie walks into the room and the front page of the notepad is full of writing, plus there's an extra line in the first paragraph. No one was around to move the page as Orson was in the shower.

What More Do I Need? - S5-E7

Continuity mistake: When Mrs McCluskey is talking to her sister on the coach, she has a plate of food in her left hand and some papers in her right. When Roberta rips the papers out of her hands, the plate of food is gone and is replaced by a sandwich.

What More Do I Need? - S5-E7

Continuity mistake: When Lynette gets up from the PTA meeting to go to the washroom, she has a purse on her shoulder. After her confrontation with Anne Schilling, Lynette storms out of the washroom but she is no longer carrying her purse.

Bargaining - S5-E21

Continuity mistake: When Juanita rushes down the stairs and goes outside the door, you can see that Gaby is holding a plate of leftover food in her left hand, but in the next shot the plate has suddenly changed into a bowl.

Bargaining - S5-E21

Continuity mistake: During the breakfast scene with Mike, Katherine and MJ at the start of the episode, the spoon in MJ's bowl of oatmeal changes position between shots.

Nice Is Different Than Good - S6-E1

Continuity mistake: At the end of season 5, Lynette finds out she's about 6 weeks pregnant. At the end of the same episode, they do a "Two Months Later." In Season 6, Episode 1, Tom says after an argument with Lynette "Only 8 and a half more months." Lynette should be in her second trimester by then, with at most 6 months to go.

Chromolume No. 7 - S6-E17

Continuity mistake: When Susan and Mike are lying on the floor in the kitchen, Susan says to Mike "You can pay the loan off by yourself" and Mike has his left hand on Susan's wrist, but in the next shot, he no longer does.

Chromolume No. 7 - S6-E17

Continuity mistake: When Gabrielle asks Angie if she would like to meet Heidi Klum at the modelling agency, the magazine Gabrielle is reading is open, but when she says "Sure, she's an old friend", the magazine is closed.

Epiphany - S6-E20

Other mistake: Throughout the sixth season Eddie Orlofsky attends school with Porter Scavo, and Danny Bolen, witch means they must be close in age. However, in season 6 episode 20, it is revealed that Eddie was in high school the same time as Danielle. This does not make sense due to the fact that while Danielle was in high school, Porter and Preston were about 10.

Bree Van De Kamp: It's the age-old question, isn't it? How much do we really want to know about our neighbours?

Question: Where did Kayla go? When did they get rid of her and where did she go? And which episode is it?

Answer: Kayla was sent away in episode 16 (The Gun Song) in season 4, after falsely accusing Lynette of child abuse. She now lives with her grandparents - probably Nora's parents.

I'm curious why we never see her again, why she never talked about, and why Tom never mentions visiting her.
