Continuity mistake: During the outdoor scene from Manny's surprise party, Phil is chomping away on corn on the cob like a madman. When he gets up, he wipes his mouth with his napkin while leaving some corn on his face. Claire jumps up and tells Phil that "they have a gardener", and the corn is still there. However, as he turns around with Claire by his side, the corn disappears. (00:23:00)

Question: In Claire and Phil's house, what is the room behind the staircase that we never see? It wasn't there in the pilot episode but thereafter, it's got a window and supposedly a good amount of space, as it's in the front of the house, in front of the kitchen. Anybody have any idea?





Chosen answer: There was a plain wall at the foot of the stairs in the pilot episode. Thereafter, there is a room, but we have never been shown what's in the room.
