The I In Team (season 4, episode 13)

⇑
⇓

Continuity: At the end of the episode, as Spike's getting his T-shirt on, from one angle he gets his arm completely through a sleeve, then we cut to a different view and he's still pulling it on.

⇓

Continuity: The first shot of Maggie Walsh being impaled from behind with the skewer indicates that there is no one standing close by, judging by the amount of negative space around her. However, following shots reveal that the skewer is coming straight out of Adam's wrist, therefore he should have been visible in the previous shot.

Edit
⇑
⇓

Continuity: In every other episode it's seen in, room 314 is a room directly off a corridor, but in "The I In Team" Walsh walks through the door off the corridor, then there's another shot of her walking through a door. Where did the second door come from?

This Year's Girl (1) (season 4, episode 15)

⇑
⇓

Visible crew/equipment: In the episode 'This Year's Girl', when the Scoobies find the demon in the woods that Adam has cut open you can see a boom mike operator in the background.

⇑
⇓

Other: In the scene near the end when Faith is putting Joyce's lipstick on in the mirror and taunting her, it is obvious that the make-up department forgot to put Faith's tattoo on her upper arm. It's obvious if you watch back and forth between the mirror and the shot of Faith standing and turning, there is no evidence of a tattoo that has been established Faith has in the previous season.

Edit
⇑
⇓

Continuity: In 'This Year's Girl' when Faith is taunting Joyce with all Buffy's uncollected mail she flings the envelopes across the bed one by one, scattering them. When Faith is fighting Buffy later on they are all in a pile again.

Continuity: When Buffy and Riley are in Buffy's room, Buffy holds Riley's hand with both of her hands and says to him, "Is there anything I can do?" But in the following shot she is holding Riley's hand with only one of her hands.

Revealing: When Faith is being chased by Buffy she jumps over a brick wall but as she does the wall wobbles.

Edit
⇑
⇓

Continuity: In the last scene after Buffy jumps through the window into her mothers room, Faith and Buffy begin to fight. The two wrestle into the hall and begin to roll down the stairs. There is a side view shot then a front view shot. In the front view shot you can see a camera moving downward just outside the bannister and out of shot. Only visible in widescreen versions.

Who Are You? (2) (season 4, episode 16)

⇑
⇓

Visible crew/equipment: When Giles, Willow, Tara and Buffy (in Faith's body) arrive at the church in the armoured van, a camera is reflected in the van's back window.

⇓

Continuity: When Adam enters the cave and is talking to the vampires and then pulls the head off of one of them, watch as he falls, his head is still visible when he is falling out of frame.

⇓

Audio problem: Near the end of the episode when Giles, Tara, Faith/Buffy and Willow arrive at the church and a police officer tries to stop them going inside Willow says, 'Oh no you don't understand (or words to that effect) but her mouth doesn't move at all, it was clearly dubbed.

Edit

Superstar (season 4, episode 17)

⇑
⇓

Visible crew/equipment: After Tara is found in the Janitor's closet and brought back to her room as Willow & Buffy come in, there is a mirror to the left of the door. It has a scarf draped over it to prevent it from reflecting things it shouldn't, but the bottom right corner is still exposed and in it you can see glimpses of the crew moving around behind the camera.

Continuity: Right before Buffy snatches Jonathan's book off Anya and she says, "Hey, I was just at the part where he invents the Internet!" The book pages are blank, however, as Buffy snatches it from him, the pages have writing on them.

Continuity: After the group find out Jonathon cast a spell, Willow is holding a book to her chest. But in the side shot, the book is resting on her stomach and then back on her chest a few shots later.

Edit
⇑
⇓

Revealing: When Jonathan assists Buffy at the beginning of the episode, he enters through the glass ceiling of the mausoleum, which shatters into squares. Although the audio is the sound of glass shattering, the pieces of "glass" flutter down, revealing that the squares are paper - simply for the safety of the actor during the stunt.

Revealing: When Tara is being chased by the monster and she falls, she says a spell and white smoke comes out of her hands but it is coming out of the sleeves of her shirt, the way she holds her hands up suggests this as well.

Where The Wild Things Are (season 4, episode 18)

⇑
⇓

Visible crew/equipment: While the house is becoming "Wild", Riley takes Graham down to The Initiative. Once the door closes behind them and the mirror returns to its original position, the shadow of a camera is reflected in the mirror. It's in the middle of the frame, on the left, over a book case.
