Visible crew/equipment: After Mr. Howarth confronts his son about the pills his daughter took, when Dixie walks up and tells him that he can see Monica, the actor's tape mark is visible on the floor, at Dixie's feet.
Visible crew/equipment: When Roy and Johnny are working on freeing the man trapped in the vehicle, and then when they are taking his vitals, the outlines of the mic transmitters and wires (running up toward their shoulders) are visible on the back of Roy's and Johnny's shirts. The mic transmitter's outline is also visible on the left side of Christy's sweater, below the waistline.
Continuity mistake: When Christy walks into Station 51's kitchen, the bag strap is on her shoulder, but close-up it is gone, only to be back next shot when she removes it a moment later.
Continuity mistake: The shaving foam on DeSoto's face changes between the face-on shots and the reflection shots, and in the reflection he shaved from cheek to chin, but in face-on shots only to the neck.
Continuity mistake: Gage and DeSoto arrive at the apartment complex, home to the guy trapped in the couch. They park the vehicle and walk on the gated balcony to the apartment. In the exterior shot, when they enter the doorway the inside wall to their left is bare and the corner of the balcony's iron gate is to the doorway's left. Next interior shot, now there is a large painting on that previously bare wall and the iron gate is directly in front of the door. When they leave, their vehicle is farther away, positioned differently.
Audio problem: After helping the guy who was trapped in his sofa bed, Christy, Roy, and Johnny get back into the squad, and then we hear Johnny tell the dispatcher that Squad 51 is returning to quarters, but we see that Johnny's not actually saying anything.
