A Rose for Everafter - S2-E12

Plot hole: When Ryan asks Beckett where Castle is, Beckett says something like "I don't know. I thought that the death of a bridesmaid would be right up his alley." and Ryan replies "Probably heard the word "wedding" and got cold feet." Only problem is, how could Castle have known that? He was duct-taped to a chair at the time Beckett called and couldn't answer the phone. We see Beckett right after he falls on the table and we don't see her leaving a voice mail or send a text message so he couldn't have known, especially since he asked "So, bridesmaid huh?"

Suggested correction: Beckett probably left a voice message for Castle (something along the lines of "murder of a bridesmaid at a wedding", etc.) and wouldn't have known that Castle hadn't heard it by then.

A Rose for Everafter - S2-E12

Plot hole: The security camera images of Castle kissing Kyra on the roof are completely inexplicable. The angle at which the images are taken are near enough identical to the angles at which the rooftop scene were shot. There were no pillars, poles or high walls for a security camera to be attached to at those particular angles, and certainly nowhere a photographer could hide, so where did the images come from?

Suggested correction: Beckett had Kyra followed, because she was a suspect. The photos were taken by the person following her.

Sucker Punch - S2-E13

Character mistake: In the scene where Castle and Kate are being told that the victim's SIM card is broken and the last two digits of the phone number are missing, Castle says that they have 99 possibilities, which mathematically is wrong. Obviously the writer didn't count the combination 00. The correct number of possibilities is 100. (00:08:40)

Sucker Punch - S2-E13

Revealing mistake: When Kate gets the info that the killer is the same one who killed her mother, the back of her shirt is shown twice, revealing each time that it is fixed with needles to fit perfectly.

Tick, Tick, Tick ... - S2-E17

Continuity mistake: After Special Agent Shaw tells Beckett to go home when they believe a murder took place in a multi-story car park, Beckett touches her hair with her right hand. She is wearing gloves on both of her hands when she does this. In the shot immediately afterwards however, her right hand is bare and she is holding the glove in her left hand.

Den of Thieves - S2-E21

Factual error: The con is said to be electrocuted. But the jump start cables are connected to handcuffs which would short the electrical circuit and most probably melt the handcuff chain, but wouldn't electrocute the victim. (00:02:50)

Overkill - S2-E23

Audio problem: When Demming writes "Stolen books" on the white board and says, "Killed for a fortune in stolen books, so I'll run the work crews and see if anybody has priors", his lips don't match what he's saying at all.

Punked - S3-E4

Character mistake: They find the DeLorean and the licence plate is shown: LFM-26W1. Esposito calls in and says the car needs towing: "'81-'82 DeLorean, New York plates, JLD..." Nothing like the actual licence plate.

Jon Sandys

Last Call - S3-E10

Continuity mistake: The guy at the door says "I purchased a ton of crap at that place" and the door is partially open next to him. It cuts to a barely different angle as he says "come on in" and the door is instantly wide open. (00:25:25)

One Life to Lose - S3-E18

Factual error: When Castle and Beckett go to talk to the victim's assistant, there is a chalk outline on the floor where the body was discovered. Although it's common in police dramas, chalk outlines are not actually police procedure, because it contaminates the crime scene. (00:08:40)

Reality Star Struck - S5-E14

Question: Before this episode, there was a Christmas episode "Secret Santa" and then there was "Significant Others" with Meredith showing up to take care of Alexis. In that episode, Beckett mentions choosing the movie Valentine's Day for a date night, causing her to lose a turn. In this episode, Castle and Beckett are celebrating their first Valentine's Day together. So, are they celebrating Valentine's Day twice? This wasn't too long after the Christmas episode and when Beckett made her movie choice, no snow was on the ground. Is this a mistake or is this really their first Valentine's Day together?

Answer: The networks are now having winter breaks. A mid season end of new episodes, when they come back after the new year, it picks up as if several months have gone by. Beckett suggested Valentine's Day as a "chick flick" to watch as she is moved in. Also some episodes are not scheduled to air in order.
