Always a Thief - S6-E19

Visible crew/equipment: As Dennis enters the house through the window, a set light is reflected in the glass. Wider shots of the location show no lights matching those reflected in the nearby glass, confirming that the reflections originate from the filming equipment rather than from any practical sources on set.

Sticks & Stones - S2-E10

Revealing mistake: When Jessica visits the basement, there's plenty of light everywhere. She then turns off the light, but there's still plenty of light. However, when Adam Frobisher shows up half a second later, the whole place is now in darkness to allow for all the mystery and the intrigue.

Appointment in Athens - S6-E1

Show generally

Question: Why do some of the episodes have someone else investigating and solving a murder instead of Jessica?

Answer: Because during Season 6, Lansbury wanted a lighter workload and to do other projects. So they had her just introduce and sum up the episode.
