TB or Not TB - S2-E4
Continuity mistake: When Dr. Cameron is walking with Dr. Charles to go for a procedure, he barely has any facial hair before they enter the stairwell, but once they reach the stairwell his facial hair has increased quite a bit. His hair is also parted to the left prior to entering the stairwell and once in the stairwell it is parted on both sides.
Failure to Communicate - S2-E10
Continuity mistake: When the scene starts with Stacy and House in the airport about to start talking, she has a pen in her mouth. In the very next shot it's on her ear, and in the next it's gone. It switches back and forth throughout the rest of the scene.
Continuity mistake: Ian (the patient) moves his hand while he is in cardiac arrest, then almost immediately, Chase checks Ian's pulse and the sleeve of his shirt changes position. (00:31:10)
Continuity mistake: In Season 2, Episode 17 - "All In", the young patient goes into respiratory arrest. You see the doctors remove the pillow from underneath his head to put the breathing tube in, but in the next shot, the pillow is back.
Continuity mistake: About 5 minutes in, when Foreman struggles with opening the coffee package, House rips the entire top of the package off with his teeth. In the following shots, you can see that the coffee package merely has a corner ripped off.
Continuity mistake: House is about to inject Ezra Powell (Joel Grey) with what is supposedly a lethal dose of morphine. In the shots where they pan out to show House addressing the room at large, the syringe is very full, almost completely. When they zoom in on House holding the syringe, it is only filled a fraction of that much - maybe a quarter to a third. This doesn't happen just once, but every time they switch between shots.
Continuity mistake: In the scene where House is in Wilson's Office and House needs advice about what to tell the rape victim, when the shots change between lines, the direction of the cane's handle changes with the shots.
Continuity mistake: When Wilson and the team are walking and stop in front of Fran's room, you can see Robin lounging in a chair in the background. In the next shot, Robin is gone.
Continuity mistake: In the last scene where Wilson is in House's office talking about Cuddy, the tennis ball on House's desk continuously changes position between shots.
Continuity mistake: When Cameron apologizes to Chase at the coffee machine, Chase's hair goes from in and out of his left eye between shots without him touching it.
Continuity mistake: In the episode that aired on 27 March 2008 in the UK, House has the shot glasses next to each other. Camera changes after a few seconds where you can see House's hands, and the glasses are no longer apart.
Continuity mistake: After Amber hangs up after trying to call House, the angle changes and suddenly her phone is nowhere to be seen.
Continuity mistake: A third of the way into the show when Hadley and House are arguing while walking out of House's office, Hadley's necklace watch is backwards and out of the top of her blouse. When they stop walking and switched to a shot of House then back to Hadley, her necklace watch is right-side front and inside the top of her blouse.
Continuity mistake: Throughout both parts of season 4's finale ("House's Head" and "Wilson's Heart"), Amber is always shown getting hit from the back and sitting facing House, so her seat's back is to the windows. Yet the last time we see the accident, that is, right after she took the flu pills, she is definitely sitting neatly sideways to the window (i.e. the seat is perpendicular to it) and getting hit from the right side. It most likely was done for artistic reasons, as the back shot, shown multiple times, makes for a very neat effect, with her blonde hair flowing around her like sunrays.
Dying Changes Everything - S5-E1
Continuity mistake: Right at the end, when House is apologizing to Wilson, watch the bright spot on the TV frame on the wall behind House. In the long shots, the spot is right at the top left corner of the TV. In the close-up shots, the spot is closer to the middle. This is visible every time the shot changes from long to close-up. Light spots do not move depending on the position if the viewer. The only way a light spot changes is if the light source changes position or the reflecting surface changes position (try reflecting a flashlight beam off a mirror and then, leaving the flashlight and the mirror alone, move around. The reflected spot of light will not change position).
Not Cancer - S5-E2
Continuity mistake: The boxer falls backwards and is bleeding from his right ear. In the next shot, the blood trail is gone. (00:01:35)
Continuity mistake: At the start of the episode, when 13's date falls off the bed, she knocks the bedside lamp onto the floor. As 13 runs to the bedroom, the lamp is laid on its side on the bedside cabinet. As 13 bends down to attend to her date, the lamp is back on the floor. (00:01:05)
Continuity mistake: In the beginning of the episode, when Cuddy presents the case to House, she has her cell phone in her left hand when handing him the file. She doesn't have it in her hand when she slides the file closer to him. When the camera faces her, you can see her arms are bent up while talking to him, and see the phone. When the camera is facing House, Cuddy's arms are hanging down by her sides, no phone. (00:03:05)
Answer: You have the right episode. The big deal at the end about the letters on the pills was to show that Brandon had the wrong pills all along. House was smiling because he was right.
