Desperate Housewives

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.

Other mistake: In season 3 it's revealed that Mike Delfino's doctor at the hospital is Ida Greenberg's nephew. When Ida dies in season 4 her only distant relatives come from another state, and there's no trace of her nephew from Fairview.

Opening Doors - S4-E14

Other mistake: In the scene where Lynette and Tom are fighting about Lynette having taken Kayla to see a therapist, and Kayla walks away, you can hear Tom yelling about Lynette having a distorted reality and that she can't pull crap like that. In the scene where Kayla comes back into the house after conning the twins into jumping off the roof, Tom and Lynette repeat the same dialogue again.

Come Play Wiz Me - S3-E13

Other mistake: Lynette is talking to Susan about Zach's infatuation with Gaby. Susan asks how Zach can afford so many expensive gifts for Gaby, to which Lynette replies that he inherited his grandfather's money when he "turned 18, a month ago." However, in the previous episode, Zach reminds Gabrielle that he is two months older than John Rowland, who, it was mentioned, turned 18 in season 1, two years before.

Epiphany - S6-E20

Other mistake: When Bree goes to talk to Eddie Orlofsky's mother, she introduces herself as "Bree Hodge." However, she proceeds to talk about how Eddie likes her daughter Danielle, but her daughter "doesn't return his feelings, she spends most of her time with the other cheerleaders." In the scene before, Eddie had also mentioned that he liked a girl "from school." The problem is at the time that Danielle was in high school, Bree was not "Bree Hodge", but "Bree Van de Kamp." She hadn't even met Orson Hodge then. (00:19:10)

Children and Art - S3-E8

Other mistake: When Lynette and Tom are waiting for their kids at the bus stop, the bus that drops off their boys says "Briarcliff Academy." The boys actually go to Barcliff Academy.

Rose's Turn - S5-E20

Other mistake: Carlos carries Lynette to bed when she passes out after falling in the shower. She was obviously very wet all over when it happened, and is still wet afterward, however, his suit is completely dry.

Searching - S7-E16

Other mistake: Lynette says "I also have a 9 year old", but on Penny's birthday not long before that she turned 11, and the only younger sibling Penny has is the baby.

Suggested correction: And in the episode with Penny's 11th birthday, her parents forgot it was her birthday and in the last minute of planning, her birthday cake said "Polly." Hard to say if it was intentional to show what kind of mother she is or accidental/bad script writing.

Literally addressed in the show, she said she put the wrong name because they had been discussing the name for the baby.

Season 6 generally

Other mistake: Bree is drinking wine with Karl, but before in other episodes and season and episodes and seasons after, she sternly says she does not drink because she was an alcoholic.

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.
