    Jenna

    When Bobby goes to see Jenna after his fight with Pam, Jenna was just out of the shower, with her hair wrapped in the towel, yet her makeup was on & perfect. She was worried about drying her hair, but she had time to put on her makeup first?

    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The restaurant where Pam meets her brother, Cliff, for lunch is shown beside a fountain. Though the plaza and building still exists, the fountain was removed in the 80s, due to water being blown by the wind onto passing cars and leaking into the underground garage.
    • Goofs
      The horse being tended by Pamela (Victoria Principal) very obviously isn't the same horse she rode minutes before. Seems that particular horse she rode just wasn't available again by the time shooting of the next scene requiring the horse began.

      Miss Ellie Ewing: I've never known Jenna to show up and not cause trouble.
