What Happened to Frederick - S1-E13

Deliberate mistake: When August takes Emma to the Wishing Well, the well is not in the same location as later in the series. When Emma and August are at the well, it is situated next to the road (August takes her there on his motorcycle), with a giant tree in the background. In in 1-22 "A Land Without Magic", and every other episode where the well appears, in is situated in a clearing in the middle of the forest. (00:22:35)

Continuity mistake: When Henry is in New York and trying to conjure magic by the fountain, you can see that the building in the background says Vancouver Art Gallery on the top. (00:23:15 - 00:24:57)

The Garden of Forking Paths - S7-E3

Continuity mistake: In this episode, Henry, Regina and Nook (New Hook), arrive to meet up with Cinderella to join the resistance against Lady Tremaine. In the previous episode, Emma and Hook announced they were expecting a child. No issues there, except that in the last episode of the season Henry and Cinderella have Lucy who is about 10 years old, but Emma and Hook make an appearance with a newborn baby girl. Their daughter should be older than Lucy, since she was pregnant before Henry even married Cinderella. (00:11:13 - 00:38:27)

Welcome to Storybrooke - S2-E17

Continuity mistake: When Henry is at the wishing well, intending to blow it up, his backpack keeps moving around throughout the scene. In some shots, it's lying on the ground by the pedestal, in one shot, it's lying on the pedestal, next to the well, and in other shots, it's gone completely. (00:34:20)

The Thing You Love Most - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: When Emma and Henry are walking down the street, the clock face on the clock tower is on the right hand side of the library sign. In the episode's opening scene, and in every other episode, the clock face is directly above the sign. (00:01:15 - 00:13:10)

Where Bluebirds Fly - S6-E19

Continuity mistake: When Mary Margaret drops by Emma's house to discuss wedding plans, in the wide shot where Emma's phone rings, Emma's flower tattoo (which can be seen in several other shots throughout the scene) is missing from her wrist. (00:04:15)

The Brothers Jones - S5-E15

Continuity mistake: When Hook tells Emma in the Sorceror's Mansion about his brother Liam's redemption and eventual moving on from the underworld, his black stud earring isn't on his ear. During that entire scene, the earring disappears and reappears numerous times as the camera cuts between Hook and Emma even though the shot is filmed from the same angle.

Awake - S6-E18

Continuity mistake: When Emma lands and Hook land in the apartment after going through the portal, Henry and Regina help them both to their feet. In the first shot, Regina is seen holding onto Hook's arm as he and Emma get up. In the next shot, she is holding onto Emma's arm. (00:34:45)

The Stable Boy - S1-E18

A Bitter Draught - S6-E3

Continuity mistake: When Henry is sitting at the bar at the end of the episode, reading his storybook, in some shots, there is a picture on one page, which takes up the entire page. In other shots, there is a different picture there, which takes up only half the page and has text next to it. (00:37:25)

The Evil Queen - S2-E20

Cora: Love is weakness. It feels real now, at the start it always does, but it's an illusion. It fades and then you're left with nothing!

Show generally

Question: I know Henry found Emma via credit card and a website. How did he know to look for her? Regina is strict and it was a closed adoption.

Answer: He knows who she is because he knows that the fairy tales are true. He was also shown to sneak out to go see Emma or someone else. Sometimes he succeeded, sometimes he didn't. This is how he knew to look for her despite his strict mother.
