Episode #4.6 - S4-E6
Plot hole: The killer is able to dupe the victim into hiding at the back of a car promising that they will bring a certain someone on a bench and get them to talk about a very bad thing they've been doing, so the designated victim can record the conversation with their phone. This requires the victim to be outrageously stupid; the car, with a closed trunk the victim is hidden in, is parked at distance from the bench; the microphone of her phone would never record that far, and nobody would believe their own phone can work that way, especially when they can hide the phone in a sports bag by the bench, the bushes, the gaps in the bricks or just demand that their supposed friend carries the phone herself. Also, the killer couldn't be sure that the device wouldn't say something about what they were doing (as often happens before you start a recording; you state the time, place, purpose of the recording, plus all the other content of the phone she didn't have time and chance to review!), but makes no attempt to make the phone disappear.

Switcharoo - S9-E5
Continuity mistake: Emma brings Neville a plate with a sandwich, cut in half, while he is in the laundry room. Neville picks up the half of the sandwich closest to him, looks at it, and puts it back on the plate. He then picks up the half of the sandwich farthest from him, holds it for a brief minute, then puts it back on the plate. Only, the half farthest from him is already on the plate when he puts the one he's holding back. You need to look closely as this one was tough to catch. (00:33:20 - 00:33:45)
Switcharoo - S9-E5
Continuity mistake: Emma brings Neville a sandwich in the laundry room. Neville picks up the half closest to him and puts it back down. He then picks up the half farthest from him, holds it for a brief minute. When he puts it back on the plate, the half farthest from him is already there and he puts down the half closest to him.

Continuity mistake: When JP announces that the SIM card was sold in Isla Jonas, Dwayne in the foreground is holding his hands on the buckle of his belt the opposite way compared to the wider angle. (00:36:25)
Answer: There's probably no particular reason. Sets and props on long-running TV shows often change as needed and for various reasons throughout a series run.
