Production Mistake & Questions: Season 2 Episode 18 - As the Shadows Deepened

For a long time I was asking myself, can a park employee leave work to go see her boyfriend in the army base? OK, the base is about 3 miles away from the park, and maybe she was on her lunch break, but in view that the whole "Deaf Day" event in Maui Theme Park was under her organization, I really cannot understand how Bay was so relaxed (at work) that she could actually take off to go see Ty and question him about his reaction when he saw her and Emmett watching the movie in the park office.

Mentioning the "incident" that caused Ty to storm out of the park (which by the way, if he was supposed to be working, how did he leave base to go to the park and even buy ice-cream cones?) Can you see the bad editing on this part of the scene? Let me show you:
1st- When Ty comes in with the cones, Bay is seating right next to Emmett:
But then when the cut goes to the camera on Emmett to show his face of disgust, we see Bay really closed to the camera, which means she is in a different distance from Emmett, as we know Ty is close to the camera, we assume that Bay is near Ty on this cut.

But guess what, right after this cut, the camera goes back quickly to Bay for her explanation, and look how far she is again from Ty and near Emmett

Bay even start moving toward Ty a little later

positioning herself near Ty and where she was on what we see on the 2nd picture above.


2nd- We know production of all the episodes must be done very fast and it is not an easy thing to do, we also loved to see the actual "Dawn of the Deaf" on screen, but do we really need to see Emmett scratching his itchy ears? Come on editing group, I'm sure you could have made a quick cut between some takes that didn't have this kind of distraction, don't you think?
For those who doesn't know about deaf people, and we see a bunch of jokes from Sean Berdy himself of people who doesn't understand that deaf people can and do live a normal life. Just because someone is deaf it doesn't mean they do not feel their ears itching, they just the hear the noise of their own scratch..that is the only difference between deaf and hearing.
