Episode Goofs
Cordelia picks a worm out of her hair and runs out of the library, past Kendra. When Kendra's back is to the camera, her arms are behind her back, but they are folded in front of her when it cuts to the next shot.
When Xander shuts the book on the worm, the cover is different in the distant shot than it is in the close up.
After Kendra opens the door to the taxi, the scene alternates between two shots, one of which is over Kendra's right shoulder. In this shot, her hair is slung over the shoulder. Yet, in the other shot, her hair switches between over the shoulder and behind her neck.
