In my own defense - - -
I only started a new paragraph with a single whitespace break after the end of the prior (subject) paragraph.
Perhaps if I had used a triple horizontal rule between the topic of continuity and topic of "magic mirror" - - -
The "missing mirror" is often just an artifact of not having any glass in place for the "through the windshield" shots.
Doing the shots without glass simplifies the lighting, sound and photography.
