• Continuity: In the final scene, the plate being used as an ashtray changes position, and the amount of ash fluctuates on almost every shot
  
  
• Factual errors: Bree is on hormones up until the day of her surgery. In reality, estrogen can't be taken for several weeks beforehand because it increases the risk of blood clots.
  
  
• Errors in geography: During the trip from New York to California, Toby asks why they are heading to Dallas. The scene changes from a Midwest setting to inside the Deck Park Tunnel on I-10 in Phoenix heading West (already past Dallas), back to a Midwest neighborhood.

• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Bree's sister, half Jewish, misuses the Yiddish phrase "kin-ahora" when she hears about Toby's mother's suicide. The phrase means "may the evil eye be averted" and is roughly equivalent to "knock on wood". It is used when you say something GOOD, to avert a spell cast by a jealous person or a demon. It would NEVER be used with respect to something bad.
  
  
• Factual errors: The bottle of Bree's mother's Premarin that Bree takes from the medicine cabinet is labeled as .06mg. Premarin is not available in that strength. It is available in several strengths, including 0.625mg. A 0.06mg dose would be sub-therapeutic.
  
  
• Crew or equipment visible: In the wide shot of the first scene in the car, as Brie tells Toby to "take his feet off the dash," the camera truck can be seen in the reflection on their car.
