Deliberate mistake: After MacNelly enters the ladies room to confront the red haired lady, she shoots the woman in the chest, but there's no gunshot or bullet hole or blood anywhere. But the red haired lady dramatically collapses to the floor. Then during a closeup, glances upward at MacNelly, and then her head droops downward.
Revealing mistake: For a prison governor/warden, Mrs. Davidson (Erica) would presumably earn a modest upper middle class salary. Yet here she is on the phone, in the foyer of her home, wearing an elaborate house dress, surrounded by very stellar furnishings. But then she answers a knock at the door, and opens it to reveal a very ugly vertical striped wall mere feet behind her visitor. Obviously indicating that she either lives in a dim-tenant or low-scale apartment, or this scene was shot in-studio.
Joan "The Freak" Ferguson: Where's Bea Smith?
Doreen Anderson-Burns: Oh, she went to see the Governor.
Joan "The Freak" Ferguson: I hear that she is Top Dog amongst you prisoners, how'd she get that privilege?
Doreen Anderson-Burns: Oh, I don't know.
Joan "The Freak" Ferguson: Funny, seems like everyone knows about the famous Bea Smith, except the ones that work with her.
Bea Smith: Why don't you ask me? I know all about her.
