During the scene where Lorelai says that she has to get to the hospital, her purse constantly changes from being in her hand to being on her shoulder.
When Lorelai goes throught the doors to find out about Richard she is wearing her blue coat. When she comes back through the doors, she no longer has her coat on and is empty handed. However, when she sits down, her coat and purse are next to the chair without her putting them there.
