The Betrayal - S2-E12

Deliberate mistake: The shot of Willy running away from the parked car is taken from the episode where Elias is killed. Two things give this away - 1) Willy is wearing a different coloured jacket and 2) he is supposed to be seriously injured yet he sprints along the street. (00:08:50)

The Betrayal - S2-E12

Revealing mistake: When John is holding the two mice, if you watch his left arm closely you can see his arm jerk beneath the table where he replaces the real mouse with an edible one. (00:20:50)

The Betrayal - S2-E12

Continuity mistake: When Charles reads the message about Nathan Bates coming out of the coma, there are two things to look for during the closeup of the note. The logo on the top is replaced by writing and he grips the note in a different position from before. The writing changes yet again when the note is seen from behind. (00:13:35)

The Hero - S2-E11

Revealing mistake: When Lydia eats the worm, it is not moving in the bowl before being picked up and is a different colour to all the moving ones. Needless to say it is not a real worm. (00:30:20)

The Hero - S2-E11

Revealing mistake: Several times during the Charles v Mike fight scene it is obvious that Charles has been replaced by a stunt double. (00:43:50)

Reflections in Terror - S2-E9

Audio problem: At the start of Nathan Bates' angry rant, he says 'What do you mean, another van of children got through the border?' and it has obviously been dubbed as it sounds different from his following lines. My guess is that he swore originally, and it was taken out by the producers at the last minute. (00:06:05)

Reflections in Terror - S2-E9

Audio problem: When Mike and Ham arrive at the church, their lines have been badly dubbed as Mike is still supposedly talking to Ham as he gets out and shuts the van door. (00:06:50)

Daz

The Dissident - S2-E8

Continuity mistake: When Mike radios Elias he identifies himself as 'wilderness' calling 'Shiloh'. When Elias acknowledges, he also identifies himself as 'wilderness' instead of 'Shiloh'. (00:33:20)

Daz

Visitor's Choice - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: When Ham and Mike come out of the main door of the building, Mike shoots a guard standing on the roof. The guard falls off, but when the shot switches back to Mike the guard isn't seen falling to the ground. (00:43:20)

Daz

Visitor's Choice - S2-E6

Revealing mistake: When Diana offers the ants to the two officers, she is gripping the handle differently between the far shots and the closeup. Needless to say in the far shots the officers are not eating real ants. (00:32:50)

Daz

Reflections in Terror - S2-E9

Deliberate mistake: The shot of the cocoon gestating is taken from episode 2. This is evident because there is sand underneath it and rocks in the background, but when the tracker finds it later, there are no rocks and sand in the tunnel. (00:25:30)
