Red Tide - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: The victim's father comes face to face with Flipper at CBI and he lunges towards Flipper. Lisbon stops him. At first her right hand is on his left shoulder. Cut to the shot from behind, the same hand is now under his left armpit.

Every Rose Has Its Thorn - S3-E19

Continuity mistake: In the beginning when Patrick is talking to the widow Erica Flynn at the police station, when she first leaves the interrogation room the zipper in the back of her dress is down about four inches. As she is walking to the elevator, when she goes into the elevator and turns, you see that it is now zipped up completely.

Red John's Friends - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: This happens right at the very end at the hotel room in Mexico. Jane and Lisbon are sitting on the bed and the cellphone rings. It's Red John calling. There's a beer bottle next to the phone on a round table. At first the label faces towards the middle of the table. When Jane picks the phone up, the label now faces the other way. (00:43:20)

Strawberries and Cream: Part 1 - S3-E23

Plot hole: In the heat of killing fake Red John, Jane forgot to notice that Craig O'Laughlin never knew about the mall setup to lure Red John. So definitely Gale Bertram himself was in contact with the serial killer which he may have missed first up, but all that time in jail afterwards he could have figured it out.
