Broken - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: After Prince Philip's body is placed on the bier, Mulan wraps the wraith's medallion in a bag and gives it to Aurora. In the wide shot, the strings on the bag are hanging over the left side of Mulan's hand. In the close-up, they are hanging down the right side. (00:33:25)

We Are Both - S2-E2

Revealing mistake: When Regina is trying to escape on horseback, as she says "Come on, Rocinante, go!", you can see that the one who's actually riding the horse is Lana Parrilla's stunt double.

We Are Both - S2-E2

Continuity mistake: When Regina's father, Henry, tells her about Rumplestiltskin, he refers to him as "someone Cora knew before I met her."

Lady of the Lake - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the episode, when Emma and Mary Margaret are walking through the camp with a group of refugees, in the first shot, they're at the edge of the camp. Cuts to a different shot, and the group have moved to a different part of the camp and are situated next to a table, before they walk over to a shed. In the next shot, they are farther away from the shed. When it cuts, they are standing next to it again. (00:05:00)

Kylantha

The Crocodile - S2-E4

The Crocodile - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: Before the duel, as Rumplestiltskin says, "Sorry, but killing a man with his own sword was just too delicious to pass up", Killian's right arm is bent. In the next shot, his arm is down by his side. (00:17:25)

Kylantha

The Crocodile - S2-E4

The Crocodile - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: When David and Rumplestiltskin are looking for Belle, when Rumple says "Look, can I ask you a question?", in the background, a man and a woman are crossing the street. In the next shot, they cross the street again. (00:20:40)

The Crocodile - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: When David and Rumplestiltskin walk down the streets of Storybrooke while searching for Belle, as David says "There is a difference between literal truth and honesty of the heart", a car is seen driving through the street. In the next shot, it's gone. (00:21:20)

Kylantha

The Crocodile - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: When Milah and Killian board The Jolly Roger, as Milah says "Fetch some water", a pirate with a coil of rope around his arm has just ascended the deck and is seen near the steps. In the next shot, he is nowhere near that area (he can briefly be glimpsed as he disappears behind a mast in the lower left hand corner). (00:25:45)

Kylantha

The Crocodile - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: Aboard The Jolly Roger, Rumplestiltskin says "Do I forgive you? Can I move on?", while walking past Milah. In the first shot, he is right behind her, but in the following wide-shot, he has suddenly moved to a position several meters away from her. (00:26:40)

Kylantha

The Crocodile - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: When Rumplestiltskin rips out Milah's heart, Killian catches her as she falls down. In the first shot, the back of her head is resting on his shoulder. In the next shot, her position has changed, and her head is resting on his arm. (00:28:10)

Kylantha

The Doctor - S2-E5

The Evil Queen - S2-E20

Cora: Love is weakness. It feels real now, at the start it always does, but it's an illusion. It fades and then you're left with nothing!

Show generally

Question: I know Henry found Emma via credit card and a website. How did he know to look for her? Regina is strict and it was a closed adoption.

Answer: He knows who she is because he knows that the fairy tales are true. He was also shown to sneak out to go see Emma or someone else. Sometimes he succeeded, sometimes he didn't. This is how he knew to look for her despite his strict mother.
