Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: After the interrogation, Skye tells Agent Coulson about Agent Ward. Coulson says during this scene,"It's a magical place" and Skye says "Ward doesn't like your style.

Ragtag - S1-E21

Continuity mistake: In the scene when Coulson is using a diagram to explain to The Team that Cybertek is the common denominator of everything that's happened during the season, he starts tracing lines that connect various bubbles of the diagram to each other, ending with one that links "the bus" to "GH-325." In the next few shots that last segment suddenly disappears, only to reappear later on. (00:04:15)

Self Control - S4-E15

Continuity mistake: When Daisy is hugging Jemma after proving they're both human, Daisy's right arm is hooked entirely around Jemma's neck.

Chosen answer: Coulson believes he was resuscitated then sent to Tahiti to recuperate. "A magical place," he calls it. But in the "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." episode "The Magical Place", Coulson, through a mind-reading machine, learns that he was treated by S.H.I.E.L.D. and a fake memory of Tahiti was placed as a "mask" of sorts over the painful memory of the operation, which involved a drug seemingly of alien origin to repair the damage, coupled with a lot of morally dubious surgery.
