Impossible - S1-E15

Continuity mistake: Episode 15- When the housewives are sitting on the porch discussing Mike Delfino, Teri Hatcher's green shirt keeps changing positions in the shot. It goes from down around shoulders to close to her neck and back.

Bang - S3-E7

Come Back to Me - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: When Bree is about to leave the hospital she picks her bag up with her left hand to put it on her right shoulder but when the camera angle changes she's put the bag on her left shoulder with her right arm.

There Is No Other Way - S2-E16

Continuity mistake: In "Thank You So Much" Valentine's day was on a Saturday or Sunday. In this episode, They are showing Bree marking her chores off a calendar for February and March 2006. The calendar matches the real calendar and Valentine's day was a Tuesday this year. The calendar doesn't match their previous episode. And they do state that "today is Valentine's day." not that they are celebrating it on the weekend.

Show generally

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.
