Pick a side of the bed!!!

I doubt ‘laziness’ or Victoria and Patrick ‘paying more attention’ figured in it at all.

Well whatever "figured in it", there was consistency with Bobby and Pam and their side of the bed .

The more I watch, the more I really do think it has to do with Camera angles.

Whenever we are in JR and Sue Ellen's bedroom, whoever is in the room first ends up on the left side of the bed. Whoever enters second ends up on the right.

The camera angles theory makes sense to me. It could also be that when we see Sue Ellen in the room first she has forgotten which pillow she’s hidden the bottle of vodka under.

Much more plausible and likely explanation in a professional production.
