The Pipe - S2-E9

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Ward helps June carry the groceries into the house, the bag in his left arm has a loaf of bread sticking out of the top, but as they enter the kitchen the bread is sticking out of the bag in his right arm. It is not even the same size.

The Garage Painters - S2-E18

Continuity mistake: When June enters the boys' bedroom at nearly 1:00 am, she turns on their light. In the closeup, she flips the light switch, which is already in the up position, and the light turns on, but in the next shot, the light switch is in the down position. Then, when June exits their bedroom, in the wide shot, the light switch is in the down position, but in the closeup, the switch is in the up position so she can flip it down (off). (00:06:35)
