** When trying to get a young Colin Robinson a place in a private school they repeatedly mess up the interview, mind-wipe the interviewer, and start over while making changes to the setup without considering their implications, reaching its peak when they make the interviewer believe he is Collin's father asking ''them'' to let him in. It fails to occur to them that instead of trying to make a good impression on the interviewer they could just hypnotize him into accepting Colin. They also forget that repeatedly hypnotizing someone like this is extremely bad for the brain, and the interviewer suffers a stroke shortly after.

** In the final episodes of Season 4, Spike schemes to break up the Scoobies by exploiting the existing tensions between the group, and then planting evidence to lure Buffy into a trap as part of BigBad Adam's plan. However, after all is said and done, Adam points out that Spike gave Willow the evidence, and Willow won't be speaking to Buffy now thanks to Spike's manipulations. Spike quickly goes out to fix his scheme. Amusingly enough, this exchange was added into the series after the writers themselves realized the error of Spike's plan only after the initial episode was already filmed.

Phoebe insists it's not her fault that Chris didn't think things through, though she does eventually agree to help him. Chris merely says he was too absorbed in saving the world to check the dates on the calendar, which isn't a very convincing excuse. Out-of-universe, this was the result of RealLifeWritesThePlot - Chris had always been intended to be Piper and Leo's son, but wasn't going to be born so soon. Piper's actress became pregnant and her pregnancy was written into the show. [[invoked]]
