Episode #2.2 - S2-E2
Character mistake: The prescription pills are labeled "Sister Therese", but Therese is not a nun yet (in the credits of the episode itself she is the one not labeled as such, but just by her name). (00:44:50)
Episode #2.2 - S2-E2
Character mistake: Throughout the episode, multiple times members of the clergy themselves talk about Therese not having yet received "holy orders." She would never have, considering that nuns only take "vows", the former are just for men.
Episode #2.1 - S2-E1
Character mistake: The clinic who ran the tests for Roger Seymour's brain tumor surely does not employ just brain surgeons, because the spelling in the official report is simply atrocious ("apetite" (twice), "consistant"). (00:21:00)
Episode #1.7 - S1-E7
Character mistake: When Dwayne speaks with the record bootlegger, he asks him about a recording from "last night" 'show, when it was instead the show from two nights before. He correctly mentions a few lines later what happened "the other night." (00:39:50)
Episode #2.2 - S2-E2
Character mistake: Dwayne takes only the thumbprint of Sister Marguerite before she leaves. (00:12:50)
Character mistake: JP says, twice, that the tapes found at the shack are from the same day Jasmine was murdered. Jack then says "June 5th, 1988." But as Commissioner Selwyn Patterson said, Jasmine was killed June 3rd. Jack repeats the date being the 5th later after the visit to Leon. Who's right, is anybody's guess. (00:14:25 - 00:31:20)
Character mistake: Interrogating Delmar Brown, Jack mentions to him that "Back in '85, the band went on tour to Europe." But the tour, as established by the Commissioner, Dwayne and Florence's bank statements, happened in 1988. (00:19:40)
Character mistake: Commissioner Patterson begins the narration of the past events with a date, June 3, 1988. It's the day Jasmine died. When Dwayne a couple minutes talks about the band splitting, he mentions that there had been tension before that incident, and says that the band in the summer of 1988 had a tour planned, but Jasmine put a halt to it halfway through. It seems kinda difficult for someone who dies in early June, to put a halt halfway through a summer tour (and that fact being presented as something completely distinct from the person's death). (00:14:25 - 00:16:30)
Character mistake: Dwayne tells Jack on the crime scene that the victim (who had two aces, with one ace on the board) he had "three of a kind or as the pros say, trips." Pros don't say "trips" to that though, since "trips" happens when two cards matching one you have in hand are on the table. Holding the pair makes it a "set." (00:06:25)
Character mistake: Florence grabs the victim's phone with a tissue to avoid leaving prints...but then uses her other bare hand to go through her messages via touchscreen. In many other scenes she's just seen wearing latex gloves. (00:12:30)
Character mistake: The forensics report in its first screen displays the word "antybodies", when of course it is "antibodies" (00:25:15)
Answer: There's probably no particular reason. Sets and props on long-running TV shows often change as needed and for various reasons throughout a series run.
