Scrappy

Past Imperfect - S3-E21

Continuity mistake: When Adam is taking blood from Stella for her HIV test, the tourniquet on her left arm moves from the arm to the table and back to the arm as she gets up to leave.

Obsession - S3-E13

Continuity mistake: The first time Mac tests the cleaned up blood on the floor, it shows positive with Luminol. However in the flashback scene with Lindsay, the Luminol is not showing up.

The Fall - S1-E17

Plot hole: The CSIs catch a murder suspect putting down a drink can when reviewing security footage of a robbery, and immediately realise they didn't see it at the scene so assume one of the first cops on the scene must have removed it. Thing is though, the murderers shot out the security camera before the actual shooting occurred, meaning there was loads of time off-camera for the killers to take the can with them, but the CSIs never even consider this - they jump to the conclusion a cop took it even though there's no actual evidence for that.

Chosen answer: Probably to broaden the scope of the show's plot and give the audience a chance to see the characters in a different setting, People act differently at home from the way they do at their workplace. By the ninth season, the characters would have become overly familiar and predictable. It gives the writers a chance to do something different with them.
