Revealing mistake: When Sheriff Graham pulls in front of Emma in a police car, the big sign on the storefront behind Emma says "Storybrooke Coffee Co." However, as Graham gets out of the car, you can see a circular sign on the side of the building, which says "Steveston Coffee Co"; Steveston is the Canadian town which doubles as the backdrop for the town of Storybrooke on Once Upon a Time. (00:05:30)
Revealing mistake: When Graham offers Emma the job as deputy sheriff, as he says, "Why don't you think about it", in the background, the name "Steveston" appears on the sign on a business next to Kisamos Greek Taverna. Steveston is the name of the Canadian town which doubles as the town of Storybrooke for exterior scenes. (00:05:50)
Revealing mistake: When Emma leaves the apartment to go looking for Ashley, she and Henry walk down the streets of Storybrooke, toward Emma's car. As Emma says, "Because I know", in the background, you can see a business called Steveston WineMakers. Steveston is the name of the Canadian town which doubles as the town of Storybrooke on Once Upon a Time. (00:14:35)

Revealing mistake: As Mr. Gold bangs his head on the table after being spritzed with pepper spray, you can see that one performing this action is Robert Carlyle's stunt double, and that the stuntman merely hits the table with his hands. (00:10:20)
Continuity mistake: When Graham offers Emma the job as a deputy sheriff, when he gives her his card, you can see two women a few meters behind Emma, walking on the pavement, toward the camera.

Continuity mistake: When Ashley is holding baby Alexandra while Emma comes in, her left hand repeatedly changes position between shots; for example, when Emma says "It's pretty", her hand is on one side of the baby's head; in the next shot, it is on the other side. (00:36:25)
Continuity mistake: When Henry lies on the bed, the position of his legs goes from one leg being crossed over the other, to being parallel to each other, between shots. (00:38:40)
Continuity mistake: As Ashley tries to break into Mr. Gold's safe, which is hidden behind a painting, in the first shot, she's moving the painting with her left hand.
