Cracked me up

There was a scene I just watched in 6x04 The Warrior that kind of had me laughing. The episode itself is rather more serious episode dealing with some sensitive subjects but there is one scene where Elizabeth ask Jim-Bob to ride into Rockfish. Now what made me laugh is the scene of them driving away. Jim-Bob knocks over a table and is way off the road and almost hits a tree. If you watch the scene when Jim-Bob knocks over the table you can see Kami turn her head as if she was surprised and you can see her again motioning David to move the car to the right to avoid hitting the tree.

My first thought is how did they not do a second cleaner take but then my thought was the crew found it so funny they decided to leave it in. We have seen Jim-Bob driving this car multiple times before the episode so I doubt at this point they decided to write this in as it was. Jim-Bob took pride in his car and it never came off as he was a bad driver. David would've been 15 around the time this was being shot so I am guessing this is authentic since he wouldn't of had that much driving experience. Anyways, just wanted to get your thoughts about if you thought it was written in like that or blooper they just left in. Here is a clip of the scene

This episode was directed by Ralph Senensky and I have a feeling he had a big hand in how the scene went down. Writers don't usually give such explicit stage directions unless those directions are vital to the episode. As you mentioned, Jim-Bob was an accomplished driver and would easily have missed the table and wouldn't have had a problem staying on the road. I get the feeling that Ralph told him what he wanted and David improvised.
