The Stranger - S1-E20

Continuity mistake: In Pinocchio's home, when Jiminy Cricket pops out of the cuckoo clock, a navy officer doll can be seen sitting on a table as Geppetto goes to release the cricket. In the first shot, the doll is perpendicular to the chair next to the table, but when Jiminy says, "It's okay. He meant no harm", the doll has turned around 90° and is parallel to the chair. After the Blue Fairy shows up, the doll is back to its original position. (00:12:30)

Continuity mistake: Emma has a flower tattoo on her left wrist. Throughout the series, there are subtle changes in its design, and its position on her arm. For example, when Emma is sitting at the table with Mary Margaret in "The Thing You Love Most", the tattoo has six petals, and is located about an inch below her hand. When she's on the phone with Ruby in "Red-Handed", the tattoo is much bigger, and the petals are arranged differently; it has also moved further up her arm, and is almost touching her hand. When she's arrested in "Tallahassee", there are five petals instead of six, the petals have a rounder shape (in "Red-Handed", they were rather pointy), and the tip of one of the petals is touching her hand. When she pulls her hair behind her ears at the tavern in "Snow Drifts", said petal is thinner, and is no longer touching her hand. When she touches Hook's face in the diner in "Birth", the tattoo has moved about a centimeter down her wrist, and the petals have a brownish color, but in previous episodes, the petals have no color. When she touches Hook's face in the Middlemist Field in the next scene, the color is gone.

Dreamy - S1-E14

Continuity mistake: In "The Shepherd", Kathryn is showing David their house, and you can see that the street number on the Nolans' house is 244. In this episode, when Emma is looking at Kathryn's phone records in the evening, the phone records list her address as number 4. (00:38:25)

The Thing You Love Most - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: When Emma is wearing the red dress in "Pilot", she has a mole on her chest. In this episode, which takes place two days later, when she's in her white tank top, the mole is gone; this is best seen when Graham is taking mug shots of Emma, and she says "He's terrified of her, like everyone else in this town." This is probably due to the fact that in real life, Jennifer Morrison has had several moles removed from her body. However, there was no time for Emma to do the same, and even if there were, she'd have a fresh scar or stitches. (00:20:30)

Snow Drifts - S3-E21

Continuity mistake: When Emma is making out with past Hook while future Hook skulks around the room attempting to stay hidden, in the second shot, Emma's back is facing the stairs/ladder, her hand gripping Hook's coat. In the next shot, her back is facing the table, and her hand is on Hook's shoulder. (00:33:20)

Continuity mistake: The blade on the Dark One's Dagger has one side with the name of the Dark One inscribed, while the other side is decorated with a pattern. Throughout the entire series, the name keeps switching from one side of the blade to the other. In some scenes, the writing is right side up when the dagger is held in the left hand and facing the wielder, with the first letter of the Dark One's name next to the hilt: This happens, for example, when Rumplestiltskin finds the dagger in "Desperate Souls", when Mr. Gold gives the knife to August in "The Return", when Gold summons the wraith in "Broken", when Cora has the dagger in "The Miller's Daughter", when Zelena controls Mr. Gold in "The Tower", when Gold triumphantly shows the dagger to Zelena in "Kansas", when Belle controls Mr. Gold with the dagger in "Heroes and Villains", when Emma summons the first Dark One in "Nimue", when Mr. Gold shows Emma the new version of the dagger in "Swan Song" and when Weaver is holding the dagger at the Hyperion Height police station in "Eloise Gardener." In other scenes, the characters are right side up when the dagger is facing the wielder and held in the right hand, with the first letter near the tip of the blade: For example, when Rumplestiltskin summons Zoso in "Desperate Souls", when Cora steals the knife in "The Queen Is Dead", when Gold uses the dagger in "Going Home", when Regina picks it up in "Kansas", when Gold hides the dagger in "Snow Drifts", when Gold opens the sorcerer's hat box in "A Tale of Two Sisters", when the dagger is lying on the stone in Emma's basement at the end of "Nimue", when the potion is poured onto the blade in "Strange Case" and during the ritual in the cave in "The Guardian."

Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Snow is in Emma's nursery room, trying to convince Charming to talk to Rumplestiltskin, the shots have been flipped. The easiest way to spot this is Charming's scar, which is on the wrong side of his face. (00:10:30)

Continuity mistake: When Graham is arguing with Emma at the beginning of the episode, in the very first shot outside Granny's, they are approaching a shop called Worthington's Haberdashery. As the shot ends, they are still a few meters away from it, but in the next shot, they are already in front of it. (00:01:50)
