Days Like This - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: Harper is talking to Mark about her night with Doug and her stethoscope is hidden in her collar and lapel on her right. As the shot changes and she turns, it is suddenly fully visible and the left side has moved much further up towards her neck.

Do One, Teach One, Kill One - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: As Chloe moves backward away from the fence while talking to Susan, we can see her friend Ruth in the convertible, sitting up on the back of the seat. In one shot Ruth completely disappears but reappears again, all in the course of a few seconds.

It's Not Easy Being Greene - S2-E13

Continuity mistake: Carter goes into the faculty dining room to talk to Peter and Dr. Vuselich - he has a brown strap around his neck (with his stethoscope) which changes position several times during the scene, even though he never touches it.

Baby Shower - S2-E15

Factual error: The majority of the babies that come out are far far too clean. This is particularly noticeable with the 2 twins, where the second one has nothing cleaned off it when it's presented to his mother.
