Continuity mistake: When Camille spots the camera and asks Henri Garon to give it to the authorities, in close-up the camera is fairly close to the side of the table by him. In the wider angles though, it's noticeably more distant, at least compared to the distance with the shorter side of the table. (00:07:50)

Continuity mistake: During the first interview with the suspects, at Catherine's, the drinks on the table are positioned differently depending on the angle; for instance when Imke Sandt mentions the "foraged for other ingredients", the slice of lemon on her glass is on the part of the rim closest to her, but when Camille begins her follow-up question the slice moved to the opposite side.

Moments later, Camille is writing with her pen that has the cap fitted on the top, except in the last shot (when Dwayne mentions the authentic meal) when it's gone. (00:05:35)

Man Overboard: Part 2 - S6-E6

DI Jack Mooney: My grandfather told me a story once, about these two wolves fighting inside all of us. And one of them is anger, envy, self-pity, regret. The other one is love, truth, faith, hope, that sort of thing.
And I asked him "which one of the wolves would win?" And do you know what he said?
"The one you feed."
