Goofs[]
- Lisa says that she has to pedal backwards to go forwards on her bike, but in every other episode where she uses her bike, the pedals work normally.
- When Homer, Marge and Bart are preparing for the trip, Bart is flipping a flaming stick with a brown shirt. But when Lisa comes in, Bart's shirt turns blue.
- Lisa and Harper are both barefoot when they arrive at the beach but when Homer chooses Lisa over the island, Lisa is wearing flip-flops. Also when Homer and Mike start fighting, Harper is wearing flip-flops, too.
- Milhouse wouldn't be able to take Harper's bike to himself. The bike is equipped with a modern anti-theft device, so mounting the bike would draw Chief Wiggum's attention and possibly get him arrested.
