Ted - S2-E11

Continuity mistake: After the mini-golf scene, Buffy comes down to her kitchen. Her mother greets her and sets down a carton of orange juice. In the first shot, her mother is holding the carton with both hands. But in the next shot as she sets it down, she only has one hand on the carton.

Continuity mistake: When Buffy, Xander and Willow are talking at the school near the beginning in front of the vending machine, watch the way Buffy is holding her pink binder. First she's holding it to her side, but shifts it in front of her chest. Instantly, in the next shot it's back by her side. Then it's back in front of her chest again.

Ted - S2-E11

Revealing mistake: In the beginning of the episode, when Buffy stakes the vampire that she beats up for a long time, watch when she lifts the stake. The hole in the vampire's chest is a solid 8" below where she actually hit him with the stake. (It's an effects shot, so somehow, they just didn't line up).

Prophecy Girl - S1-E12

Plot hole: Angel says he cannot give Buffy mouth-to-mouth because vampires have "no breath." However, throughout the entire series, vampires are shown to breathe, and are able to do things like smoke, gasp, get choked out, etc. (Granted, the franchise also confirms a vampire cannot die from asphyxiation, but still they're shown to breathe regularly).

Prophecy Girl - S1-E12

Deliberate mistake: When Willow and Jenny go out to the parking lot only to discover vampires converging on the school, pay attention to the extras. You can make out some of the same extras in different shots coming from different directions. (Most notably, you can see a woman in a long black-and-white skirt coming from the direction of the parking lot, then a few shots later, she's suddenly over in the football field coming from there.) They obviously reused extras in different shots to "pad out" the crowds.

Prophecy Girl - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: When Giles and Jenny are talking about Buffy, Giles says "We must get in touch with this Brother Luca chap!" watch Giles. In the first shot he's still reaching towards the top of the cabinet. Instantly in the next shot, he's in the middle pulling something down from the top of the cabinet.

Prophecy Girl - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: When Buffy is consoling Willow after she discovered the dead students, as Buffy leaves the room, Willow's mouth is open and she looks down. It then cuts to a wideshot. Instantly, Willow's mouth is closed and she's staring forward, and she looks down a second time.

Visible crew/equipment: When Buffy meets Giles in the library after the opening credits, and they start talking, throughout the scene, you can see set lights and reflectors reflected in Giles' glasses multiple times. This happens often throughout the series, but is particularly noticeable here.

Prophecy Girl - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: In the beginning, when Xander is practicing asking Buffy out with Willow, at once point Willow puts one of her snacks (candies, I think) into her mouth and starts chewing in a medium/wide profile shot of the two. It then cuts to a closeup of her and instantly she's no longer chewing, and immediately places a second candy in her mouth. She didn't have time to stop chewing and swallow between cuts.

Out Of Mind, Out Of Sight - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: When Buffy finds the invisible girl's "home" in the ceiling and picks up her flute, the position of everything on her bed changes between the initial closeup we saw and the shot of Buffy picking up the flute. Ex. In the initial closeup, the flute is on an open case, while in the shot where Buffy picks it up the case is closed. All the sheet music is in a slightly different position. A cylindrical object appears next to the flute that wasn't there in the initial closeup, etc.
