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)

And Those We Left Behind - S4-E6

Plot hole: The very ending scene where Peter (in this version died in the ice as a boy so Walter's wife never met him) takes off some of the dust covers then picks up a toy airplane. The toy airplane he got as a child from ... Walter's wife when she was trying to placate him in an earlier episode for trying to run "home". This toy airplane wouldn't have been his as a child in this version of the universe. (00:42:00)
