Episode Goofs |

In the short time Jack was on the ledge, there was no way he could have gotten that much snow on his head. | When Jack turns off the light to leave Karen alone, you can tell the lights from the fire are fake. | When Debra walks in to Will's office to tell him about the broken piece, you can see she starts to break character when the audience is laughing at the collection joke. She doesn't fully break, but she gets a slight grin on her face. | In the first scene, Karen is drinking from a glass she never puts down, but once when Will's mom is talking to Will when he is headed out the door. If you watch the glass closely, you'll see it is suddenly refilled in her hand and then goes down again when it's on the table. |
