True North - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: When Hansel and Gretel are outside the gingerbread house, Hansel dips his finger in some icing on the wall, which leaves a mark. Two shots later, more of the icing is missing, even though no one touched it. When Gretel climbs onto the window sill, the icing is fully coated. (00:17:50)

The Shepherd - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: When Mary Margaret is sitting at the bar with Doctor Whale, the straw and lemon slice in the empty drink in front of her keep changing position between shots. (00:39:40)

That Still Small Voice - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: After Regina tells Emma to clear the crowd away after Henry is rescued from the collapsed mine, Regina's hand goes from being on Henry's face to his side/waist between shots. (00:34:35)

Snow Falls - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: As the trolls search through Prince Charming's belongings, one of them is seen pulling out Snow White's wanted poster from the bag, but in the previous overhead shots, he was already holding it in his hands. (00:27:45)

The Thing You Love Most - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: When Emma is walking Henry to school, there are several instances where they walk past the same building more than once. For instance, as Henry says "Luckily, I have a plan", they pass a shop with a wooden rudder on display in the window. When he says "Don't let her see these pages", they walk past the same shop again. (00:12:40 - 00:14:00)

Kylantha

Pilot - S1-E1

Revealing mistake: When Rumplestiltskin is screaming at Snow and Charming about their unborn child's name, he speeds up for a few seconds and looks comically fast forwarded.

The Price of Gold - S1-E4

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. In the next shot, her right hand is up by the painting, and the lever on the safe has changed position, even though there was no time to turn it. (00:09:55)

Heart of Darkness - S1-E16

Revealing mistake: At the end of the episode, when Emma goes to Gold to ask for his help, we can see he's wearing a wedding ring on his left hand in addition to the usual ring with the light blue stone he wears on the right. That's actually Robert Carlyle's own wedding ring; as he wrote during a twitter Q&A session, he forgot to take it off before they started to film. (00:40:35)

True North - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: When Emma and Mary Margaret are conversing on the bed, Emma's sweater moves up/down her left shoulder several times. For example, as Emma says "Apparently that book you gave him, aren't exactly the stories in the most traditional sense", the sweater is over her shoulder. In the next shot, it's off her shoulder. In the following shot, it's covering her shoulder again. (00:37:45)

Lacey - S2-E19

Mr. Gold: She now thinks she's a scantily clad barfly named Lacey. She has a false life, like you did under the curse with Kathryn, only hers apparently involves a lot more alcohol.

He can sees the future all jumbled up. It is like a puzzle, it is hard to put together, but even when he does put it together it is not set in stone the future can change.
