Unveiled - S3-E18

Plot hole: Vaughan discovers Lauren is a mole when he goes through her briefcase and discovers the wig, gun and fake passport she used in Germany a few hours before - surely even the worst secret agent in the world would have enough sense to get rid of such incriminating evidence as soon as possible, and not carry it back to the USA (sneaking it onto a plane, presumably) and leaving it in the room where the man you're lying to sleeps. Lauren is a highly skilled agent, if the Covenant selected her for a mission this important, so it's out of character (without an explanation) for her to be so sloppy.

Ice - S4-E4

Continuity mistake: In this episode Nadia Santos tries to find out who's the baby that her mother Irina Derevko is holding on a picture. She first shows it to Jack Bristow and later to Arvin Sloane. Later Jack asks to see to picture again and tells Nadia it's Irina's niece. At the several moments the picture is visible the picture is flipped, showing the baby on the left arm or right arm of Irina. (00:29:55 - 00:36:35)

Search and Rescue - S4-E21

Visible crew/equipment: Jack meets Irena at the beginning of the episode. When they start to dance, Irena kisses Jack. Right before Irena pulls away, above her head is a boom mic. It lasts until the next shot when the camera is focused more on Irena.

Doppelganger - S1-E5

Question: When discussing the bomb plot, there's something odd with the audio. When Sloane's talking, at two points he says "UCO", but it's obviously been dubbed over - the shot's from behind but the tone is different. Arguably just post-production looping, but because the pitch is so noticeably different I'm assuming they mentioned some organisation they couldn't refer to, so changed it. Can't be the UN, as they mention that earlier in the scene. Anyone know why that was changed? (00:35:05)

Jon Sandys

Chosen answer: It does sound overdubbed, but there was no change in the organization. UCO is United Commission Organization. There are signs when Patel is coming that say UCO so obviously it wasn't changed.
