Episode #3.4 - S3-E4
Other mistake: Twice in the episode Fidel gets from the computer a fingerprint match for Adam Frost. The date of the sample is February 10th, which not only is inconsistent with the supposed timeline of the episode (the security camera puts the murder on March 7th, and the previous episode was set in the fourth week of March as per the gigolo's appointment schedule). but also differs from Natasha's fingerprint date, February 9th. The murder was discovered in the morning, so the victim's prints have been taken the same day as the suspects'.
Episode #3.4 - S3-E4
Continuity mistake: Simone's reaction shot to Helen saying "I wasn't even here!" is flipped, as the position of her hair makes obvious (she wears the hair combed on the opposite side throughout the whole episode). (00:47:05)
Episode #3.4 - S3-E4
Continuity mistake: In the final part of the enquiry, Goodman pulls out of the evidence bag with the bottle of poison; the bag is turned differently between shots (check out of the small ribbed part in the corner, the bottle's cork). (00:45:40)
Episode #3.4 - S3-E4
Continuity mistake: During the denouement, Helen Walker's hair goes from still to windblown and back suddenly between cuts multiple times. (00:45:00)
Episode #3.4 - S3-E4
Continuity mistake: When Goodman crawls to get the poison vial, it contains just a bit of liquid left at the bottom. Later when he checks it out at the station in greater detail and many close-ups, it's over half full. (00:40:40)
Episode #3.4 - S3-E4
Continuity mistake: The hands on the close-up of the phone record sheet are inconsistent with the wider angle (Goodman's left hand should be in frame). (00:37:10)
Episode #3.4 - S3-E4
Other mistake: The phone records Fidel shows are of February, with Valentine's day being the latest entry. It is inconsistent with practically any other inconsistent bit of the episode (bank statements in February listed as 3 months prior, security camera of March, fingerprint file dated February 9th). (00:37:15)
Episode #3.4 - S3-E4
Continuity mistake: Dwayne is reading the local newspaper when Camille and Humph get back from the hotel. The paper folds in opposite directions in the two separate shots. (00:36:40)
Episode #3.4 - S3-E4
Continuity mistake: When Catherine brings the casserole of deadly confit de poulet, Humph unfolds the paper towel in the first shot but it's still perfectly folded in the next. (00:28:10)
Episode #3.4 - S3-E4
Other mistake: When Dwayne stalks Simone, his sidecar is smack in the middle of the driveway when she approaches; he drives away towards the left but he is then lurking on the right side of the road as she drives off. All of that with his front light on. Not even a blind person could Miss it, and he'd have to swerve wildly to get in that sort of position. (00:28:10)
Episode #3.4 - S3-E4
Continuity mistake: When Humphrey foolishly lets Catherine pick the dish for dinner, he lifts the menu and only the menu off the table, but in the following shot he has one of the blue paper towels underneath it. (00:27:30)
Episode #3.4 - S3-E4
Continuity mistake: Summing up the lack of progress in the case in front of the whiteboard, Humphrey points at Bevans' picture with his right hand at first in the overhead shot, which becomes the left hand at the cut. (00:25:30)
Episode #3.4 - S3-E4
Other mistake: Humph points out a suspiciously large cash transfer that happened 'three months ago'. On the bank statement, the transfer is shown as happening on Feb 3, so we should be around May. The security footage Dwayne reviews established that the murder happened on the 7th of March. (00:22:00)
Episode #3.4 - S3-E4
Other mistake: When Camille checks out Natasha's bank statement (a picture of it, which is kinda odd as you'd expect another file format), it contains amongst many other payments also a cash transfer to Paul Bevans for €10,000, but the subtotals do not reflect that at all (from over 18k Euros goes to 12k). There is also the not negligible detail that her name is misspelled in her own bank account; she is "Natasha Thiebert" but the statement spells it "Tieebert." (00:22:05)
Episode #3.4 - S3-E4
Continuity mistake: Camille tests how hard it is to reach the room keys (answer; it is very easy). In close-up the key to 276 is unperturbed and with the actual key to the right of the rock, but in the wide shot the key is to the opposite side of the stone fob. (00:07:55)
Episode #3.4 - S3-E4
Continuity mistake: At the concierge during the first interview, the phone rings. Simone asks "May I?" pointing with her left hand, which becomes the right hand after the cut. (00:09:00)
Episode #3.4 - S3-E4
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the episode, when Natasha Thiebert walks away from the table, she walks past the colleague in a loud blue and red shirt (Max). In the close-up when she looks back at the table though, Max passes her by again. (00:00:50)
Answer: There's probably no particular reason. Sets and props on long-running TV shows often change as needed and for various reasons throughout a series run.
