Continuity mistake: When Mulder cuts out the article about "Dr. Frankenstein", the cut is just above the article title, but when he tacks up the article it includes the heading of the 'Times Dispatch'. Then in its close-up the paper is cut just above the article title again and it continues to go back and forth in following shots. (01:37:20)

Continuity mistake: When the FBI are searching the office, Dacyshyn walks out, sees Mulder, drops the donor bag and runs with Mulder and Agent Whitney in pursuit. The donor bag is rear-facing when he drops it, but in the close-up it's front-facing to show the words "human organ for transplant", and its straps positions also change between all shots.

Other mistake: Father Joe says "You brought me to the wrong house", which seems to be a proof of his psychic abilities. However, one does not need to be a psychic to notice the neighboring house all covered with yellow tape reading "CRIME SCENE DO NOT CROSS." (00:22:20)
