* AnachronismStew: Jenny is seen looking at a picture of her parents, who are shown smiling at the camera. People didn't smile for pictures in the 19th century, as the process to take a picture recquired them to stay still for several seconds, and pictures were seen as akin to portraits where people were shown with neutral expressions.

* BusCrash: Royal's wife has died since we last saw her. It's also possible a light RetCon is in effect, as the version of Royal and his wife we saw as well as their kids was totally different. They had two boys and no Jenny, and the actor playing Royal was blonde and a lot younger. Or, one could take the more cynical route and claim frontier life wreaked havoc on the family and three of them got sick and died, leaving only Royal and Jenny alive, the former of which is also sickly.
