Erupting in Murder - S6-E1

The Secret of the Flame Tree - S6-E2

Revealing mistake: Florence shows to her boss a copy of the birth certificate of Lizzie Baptiste. It is signed "Overseas British Territory of Saint Marie", dates back to 1954 with a photostatic copy of the original typewritten entry, and her school certificate is also written in English. Saint Marie though, according to its fictional history, was part of France at the time, having been a British territory only for 30 years before Season 1 (set in 2011). (00:25:40)

Man Overboard: Part 1 - S6-E5

Revealing mistake: Dwayne turns the volume of the computer in DI Jack Mooney's office; when we start hear him, the volume has gone up just a few notches, but it's already just as loud in the end as it is when Dwayne finishes to set it. (00:29:10)

Man Overboard: Part 2 - S6-E6

Revealing mistake: Humphrey and the team receive the decisive last clue from Saint Marie; on the Scotland Yard PC, in the inbox there are tons of emails marked as 'today' that come from places like the Guadeloupe lab and instead days old. (00:34:35)

Episode #1.5 - S1-E5

Plot hole: Leon Hamilton is the most hated man in Sainte Marie, with over 900 people on the island conned by him. Yet exactly one person in the whole island knows how he looks like, every newspaper and website never ever published a picture of him even during the very public trial when they were trying to get their thousands of dollars back nor publish an archive picture after his death.

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."
