Here Kitty - S5-E18
Continuity mistake: House spews cranberry juice all over the right side of Kutner's lab coat. In the next shot, the red stains have disappeared from the coat and are now on his shirt.
Other mistake: Amber states that Chase has a cat, even though in several other episodes Chase says he doesn't have a cat and wouldn't let Cameron get one because he hates cats. (00:16:10)
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)
Continuity mistake: House sits down and helps himself to Wilson's lunch. He pulls a fork out of his pocket. In the next shot, he's still fiddling with his jacket pocket, next shot, he's got the fork there again. (00:11:35)
Continuity mistake: When House trips before entering his office, Taub is holding the patient's x-ray film. It is either over the folder or under it in different shots. (00:11:05)
Continuity mistake: Becca, the pregnant woman, says that Cuddy must be mad at her for having been a drug addict and possibly causing her baby's lungs to be underdeveloped. While she's talking, her right hand is rubbing her belly. In the close up, the hem of her hospital gown just barely reaches the middle of her tummy. In the immediate next shot, it is much further to the right side. (00:21:20)
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)

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).
Emancipation - S5-E8
Continuity mistake: At the very beginning, House walks in and puts his cane on the table on top of Thirteen's papers. She picks it up and moves it away, placing the bottom end on a stack of books. Cut to House and the cane is now flat on the table. (00:02:55)
Factual error: When Dr. Cameron's agoraphobic patient goes into cardiac arrest at home following the surgery, she tells House to get the paddles ready. House, while performing CPR is talking on the phone with the patient's lawyer, informing him that patient has PEA (pulseless electrical activity) on the cardiac monitor, but Dr. Cameron defibrillates the patient anyway, restoring the heartbeat. Defibrillation is not indicated for PEA, it will not restore the pulse and might send the patient into vFib.
Continuity mistake: When House steals Wilson's ice cream, the ice cream gets bitten more than once even though House only takes one bite at it. (00:12:45)
Continuity mistake: During the scene in which House is offering up liquor-flavored ice cream he sets the containers in a row down the table 1-2-3-4-5. He then puts spoons in the three containers closet to Foreman, 1-2-3. The shot changes and before anyone touches the spoons they are now in containers 1, 2, and 4.
Character mistake: The chef at the beginning is talking about mustard greens, but is actually holding up broccoli.
