The Ties That Bind - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: Higgins sees from the live security cameras that Alan Sako arrived on the 22nd floor, elevator doors -just - starting to close. Then some humorous bickering ensues between Magnum and her; you'd think the two would have better things to do in a highly time sensitive life-or-death situation than go for gags for the audience, but no worries; when she looks back at the monitor 15 seconds later, Sako is still there with the elevator doors that are still closing behind him.

The Ties That Bind - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: Magnum and Higgins are checking out of the fourth address TC gave them; they walk around a palm tree in the first shot, and the street and asphalt are in the shadows. Reverse shot when they talk about 'mansplaining' and that part of the road is all nice and sunny. (00:24:30)

The Ties That Bind - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: TC rings Magnum with a lead about the quad bikes rented out. Magnum instantly leaves to pursue that - however, in the first shot of him riding into the sunset with the Ferrari he is wearing a different (light blue) shirt and is alone in the car, while he arrives to his destination wearing the navy henley he had on all along, and with Higgins at his side.

Continuity mistake: Amy Hill holds the book with the picture of the uhiuhi plant with her hand on top of the junction between pages in close-up. Nowhere near there in the previous and following shot. (00:14:50)

The Ties That Bind - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: After Amanda Sako botches a pose and talks with Higgins, she asks her "What makes you such an expert" while Perdita Weeks is leaning forward, taking the arm away from the knee to move the hand over the other leg on mat. At the response about age, she is in the same pose she began the previous shot in, with the arm over her raised knee. (00:11:35)

Continuity mistake: During the yoga training, Amanda falls forward during a toestand. Higgins in the wider shot is touching her back, while her hand was lower in the first shot; also she falls with her hand within the platform, but as Apollo hops over to lick her face, her arm is off the platform. (00:11:00)

The Ties That Bind - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: Detective Gordon Katsumoto passes his phone to Magnum so he can check out of the ziplock wounds. Magnum holds it with his left hand, in close-up too. New shot, and he's holding it in his right hand. (00:10:20)

The Ties That Bind - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: During the yoga training, Higgins asks Amanda "You think I do this to stay in shape?" Amanda's braids are both in front of her shoulders, but when she gives her a quizzical look the right braid is behind the matching shoulder. (00:08:55)

The Ties That Bind - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: Magnum goes upstairs with Amanda's mom and dad and finds her on the bed browsing the family album. Pay special attention in close-up; the leftmost is a brightly lit portrait-style picture. Makes rather noticeable that Amanda is turning the same page over and over in the different separate shots. (00:03:25)

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the episode, Katsumoto opens the fence with his left hand holding the torch and walks through it, but the arm is already raised in the following shot. (00:00:25)
