Safe - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: Olivia is pretending to be Raoul's friend at the bar where his brother works. When talking to the guy, her hair moves back and forth in front of her right shoulder throughout the whole scene.

Inner Child - S1-E15

Continuity mistake: When Olivia calls Broyles to ask him to move the child, the shot of Broyles answering the phone is a recycled shot from the episode "Safe". In addition, the shot is flipped, as can be seen by the fact that Broyles' watch is on his right wrist rather than his left.

The Ghost Network - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: When Olivia says "Freshman", Peter and Walter are seen screw driving wires into Roy's head. In the next shot, the wires are gone and they are drilling in his head. Later on, they use the screwdrivers again. (00:36:30)

The No-Brainer - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: Near the end of the episode, when Brian Dempsey is threatening to kill himself, the gun he is pointing at Olivia switches hands. He is holding the revolver under his chin with his right hand in closeups, but in shots of Olivia, he is pointing her gun at her with his left hand.

6:02 AM EST - S3-E20

Continuity mistake: This is after Olivia has bumped into Walter in the hallway. She gets back into bed and tells Peter that his father is walking around the house naked. Peter laughs and says it's normal for a Tuesday. The sun is on Peter's left cheek in shots from behind Olivia. In the reverse shots from behind him, the sun is missing. (00:07:30)

Unearthed - S2-E11

Continuity mistake: Charlie, Olivia's former partner and friend in the FBI shows up in this episode during the interview with Mrs. Rusk, but Charlie was killed off by one of the shapeshifters in a previous episode, and the shapeshifter that killed Charlie was himself killed off by Olivia, who in other episodes reflected back on killing him. This episode was supposedly meant to be in season 1 as ep 21 or 22. Unknown why they didn't air it then, and decided to put it in the middle of season 2 (for no apparent reason).

The Arrival - S1-E4

Trivia: Michael Cerveris makes his first significant appearance in this episode as The Observer/Bald Man. However if you watch the series from the beginning, he makes fleeting appearances in every episode, sometimes on a tv screen.

Season 4 generally

Question: In the original timeline, when Fauxlivia and our Olivia are in their opposite universes, the thing that makes our Olivia remember her real life and try to escape is the memory of Peter. In the new timeline, he doesn't exist. When Walternate has found and synthesised the Cortexiphan, he says that our Olivia is no longer necessary and to kill her. How did she get back to our universe with no memories of Peter, and no alternate Broyles helping her to escape and being sent to us dead with one leg?

Sashamary

Answer: In the time line of Season 4, William Bell is trying to destroy both universes to create a new one, and he needs Olivia to power the collapse. So he helped her escape. But the real question is, if not in search of Peter, why Olivia has to travel to the alternate universe to be captured and replaced?
