Episode #3.2 - S3-E2

Continuity mistake: Right after the brief flashback with Thea Holmes bringing pizza to Lexi Cunningham, watch out for an extra with a red band holding her hair in a bun; she walks behind Camille. One more cut and she's notably passing by again, on the opposite side. The same person is suddenly in frame again, again passing by DS Bordey, several seconds later into the conversation. (00:05:45)

Episode #3.2 - S3-E2

Continuity mistake: There's a close-up of the empty box of chocolates as DI Humphrey Goodman reviews the content of the catering table. The close-up is not from the same arrangement seen in the rest of the scene; the angle is slightly off and it is missing a used towel next to one of the two paper cups. The fork is also pointed in the opposite direction. (00:05:05)

Continuity mistake: In the catering shack, Humphrey does his thing when he start scribbling on random pieces of paper. When he steps behind Camille to go fetch the paper towel, depending on the camera angle Camille is holding her own notepad in separate ways on a different tilt that matches the separate matching camera angles. Walking extras carry over from matching camera angles as well, disappearing when it cuts to a different one. (00:04:55)
