  Episode Goofs  
Keep an eye on the small pot Edina puts her bad toe in to soothe it. It's transparent. However when Saffron yanks the pot off Edina's foot it is white, this was probably done as yanking the original pot off may have injured Jen.
 
Several of the item on the stove that Edina keeps trying to move around, end up moving around by themselves between takes.
