Continuity mistake: When Tony is holding out the phone to the ladies walking past him, you can see on the phone's screen Ziva and McGee, who are stood in front of a fixed screen at NCIS. In this shot of them, you can see part of the orange wall of the office. Gibbs then walks in next to McGee. When Tony realises Gibbs is there, the orange section is no longer visible, meaning the camera has changed position. Even if McGee, Gibbs, and Ziva had moved, the orange wall should still be visible since the camera is fixed. (00:16:50)
Continuity mistake: When Tony is on a video call with Ziva and McGee, in the shot of Tony holding out the phone, there is no-one in the pool by the orange towel. When we see the same shot from the video call in NCIS, two people have appeared by the orange towel with no time to move into position. (00:16:30)
Continuity mistake: When Gibbs speaks to the Metro detective, the way the officer next to him holds the sheet of paper on his notepad changes between shots. (00:06:50)
Continuity mistake: When Gibbs is planing wood in his basement for the first time, pay close attention to his tool. It has no blade in it at all. (00:11:50)
Continuity mistake: We see a close-up of Kevin's poster that Ziva is holding. In the close-up, she is holding the poster on the right-hand side. When the shot changes to a wider shot showing Ziva and Tony, Ziva is no longer holding the poster on the right-hand side, but is now holding it on the bottom. (00:04:40)
