Check-Out - S2-E4

Revealing mistake: In the scene where Norman visits Caleb at the motel on his own, after hearing Norma and Dylan argue, he gets into an argument with Caleb. Norman then pulls a knife out high above his head, at which point you see it is a prop/rubber type knife. The handle aimed at Caleb but the force Freddie Highmore has used to pull the knife up and back causes the blade to bend and aim toward the ceiling.

Presumed Innocent - S2-E7

Audio problem: After Deputy Lin drops the line "we'll get the results back fast," Sheriff Alex Romero responds with "I'm not sure how much nail clippings are gonna tell us." As he sits down, his mouth movement matches the audio, but when the angle changes, his mouth isn't moving at all. (00:09:55)

The Immutable Truth - S2-E10

Continuity mistake: In the woods after Norma takes the gun away, as she's talking to Norman; her hand changes between shots from resting around his neck to around his ear, with her thumb placed in from of Norman's ear. It changes about 6 times.

Bishop73

Norma Louise Bates: When I moved here, no one prepared me for the colossal, frickin' face-dive off a cliff that living in this crazy town really is.
