- There is no Mount Helena Boarding School. However, there is a private school Mount Helena Primary School in Australia.
- Andrea Rojas was born and raised in Argentina alongside her father.

- When Supergirl and Superman saved Lena Luthor in "The Adventures of Supergirl"
- Lex Luthor telling Lena that Kara Danvers in Supergirl in "The Quest for Peace".

Goofs[]
- Supergirl saved the school bus in "The Quest for Peace", 10 weeks ago, however, the episode claimed 2 weeks later Lena Luthor called Andrea Rojas into her office to negotiate selling CatCo Worldwide Media. However, Lena had already sold CatCo in "The Quest for Peace", before Supergirl saved the school bus.
- The flashback of when Lena and Andrea met each other takes place 15 years ago, although Lena is 26, which would make her only 11 years old at the time. This is impossible, because they would not have been able to pass as 21-year-olds at the bar, if that was the case.
- When Lena and Andrea discuss Lex's war on Superman, Lena brings up Kryptonite, and the two discuss it. However, J'onn J'onzz has claimed to have coined the name "Kryptonite", so it is unclear how Lex started calling it that. This goof has been repeated several times in the show.
