Continuity: In the beginning of the episode when Ray Galardi is meeting with Steve Marriot the amount of sun between shots constantly changes between shots. One moment that is very noticeable is a shot of just Ray with the hill in the background and a lot of shade. After showing Steve it goes back to Ray and the sun is now very bright.

Factual error: Monk inspects the wrecked VW Beetle and notes that "the air conditioning is off." But it's a standard 1973 VW: they didn't come with A/C, and though you could add it, it tended to overstress the little air-cooled engine. Look closely and you can see that this VW does not have the bulky under-dash compressor needed to run an add-on A/C.

Continuity: Whilst Monk is talking with Natalie and Julie about halfway through the episode, Natalie asks Monk whether he helped Julie to find somewhere to go to the bathroom. When Julie says she has managed to hold on Monk says, "That's my girl" and is pointing his finger at her and then lowers his hand. In the next shot showing Natalie and Julie, he is still pointing at them.

Continuity: Throughout the highway driving sequence in the beginning, Natalie's rear view mirror disappears and reappears repeatedly.

Continuity: The murderer picks up the victim's cell phone and puts it in front of his cell phone. Then later in the flashback the murderer had in the truck he puts the cell phone behind his own cell phone.

Continuity: In the beginning of the episode, right after the hippie is murdered, the murderer puts him in the passenger side door of his VW Beetle and drives him up inside the dump-truck. The murderer puts him in the VW driver's seat, and walks around to the other side of the Beetle. This is all well and good, but, the dead guy's head switches positions from the time when the guy puts him in the car to the time he walks around and starts the engine.

Revealing: The VW Beetle that slides out of the dump truck and rolls over is noticeably not the same car the victim was driving earlier. It's a lighter color, and is already badly dented, even before it's wrecked.

Continuity: The murder victim has a dark green environmentalist flag attached to the left/driver's side of his VW Beetle. The flag disappears and reappears several times throughout the first 10 minutes of the episode.
