Bloodshed in the Bordello - S20-E12

Continuity mistake: Zac goes in a playroom to investigate, puts a truck on a playhouse roof and tries to get a presence to push it off but nothing happens.

When it does the truck is not on the roof of the playhouse, but when Zac stands up and walks by the playhouse, the truck comes flying off it.

Show generally

Continuity mistake: The Army Humvee arrives in Piedmont and finds the townsfolk all dead. The timecode on the truck's video recording is 22:13 hours. When the team gathers to learn of the situation, they are shown this video. The General then presents a video he says is 2 hrs later, the view from the drone with infrared film. The time code on this, is 3:15. Both were shot in the same place, and both would be local time, so the time is wrong. More to the point, the original drone footage did not have any timecode on it. (00:18:40)
