Continuity mistake: When Lucy, disguised as the Agent, leaves Mr. Reilly's office for the last time, she suddenly reappears on his balcony overlooking the flowers as he gives dictation to his secretary. When she'd have had to venture out of a window from another part of the office elsewhere. Purely a sight gag for the show, no less.

The Séance - S1-E7
Continuity mistake: After Lucy tells Mr. Merriweather that he's invited to the seance, when it cuts to Lucy unfolding the card table legs, note the couch behind her with one normal seat cushion on the left, but in the next wideshot there's an additional shorter cushion under the normal cushion. The small towel also repositions itself neatly on the couch. (00:11:55)
