Sophia Lopez - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: During the scene where "Fluffer girl" is talking to Matt explaining she has the clap, in one camera angle Matt is seen next to her slowly stroking her back with his hand in a caring and concerned matter. Not even a split second later or two words further in her sentence, a different camera angle now shows Matt with his hands out in front of him on his lap.

Sophia Lopez - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: During the scene where Sean first meets Sophia Lopez in his office and he is about to counsel her, one camera view has Sean looking down at his notes and writing something, then looking up at Sophia as he begins speaking. A split second later, now from the opposite camera view, Sean looks up again and hasn't begun speaking yet.

Megan O'Hara - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: As Christian and Sean are consulting with Megan O'Hara and her husband, you can see a clear shot of the clipboard of her file, and her age states 31 years old. About a month later, Megan dies (Adelle Coffin episode) and after the funeral while Julia and Sean are in an argument concerning his affair with Megan, Julia expresses remorse that Megan died at 36 years old.

Cara Fitzgerald - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: When Matt and Henry are driving after getting high, they accidentally hit Cara Fitzgerald with Henry's car. Matt then slams on the brakes, and you can see black skid marks. After the car stops and they get out to look around, several different camera angles show no skid marks at all behind the car now.

Adelle Coffin - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: Just as the episode starts, Dr. Troy is reattaching a thumb and some fingers to a patient. Liz then tells Dr. Troy that he incorrectly placed the middle (longer) finger where the index finger should be. As she says this, the camera shot of the hand from a few feet away shows that the fingers ARE correct, then the following close-up show shows the fingers attached wrong, not to mention if you look real close during this shot, the fingers flinch a little.

Adelle Coffin - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: During the scene where Sean and Megan are talking on the bench after abruptly leaving the restaurant, pay attention to Sean's arm as it is around Megan. It changes positions several times around Megan's back and shoulders during different camera angles, and he never noticebly moved it.

Joy Kringle - S3-E13

Continuity mistake: Right at the part where Joy Cringle is prepped for surgery and Christian says "Okay, ready to suck the pringles out of Mrs. Cringle?", there is a close-up of Joy's face. Although she should be completely out, it is real clear her eyelids flinch a few times.

Cherry Peck - S3-E14

Continuity mistake: After Sean and Christian open the 'bleeding package' and discover Kimber's implants inside, Christian notices a very very small piece of paper inside one of the implants with a message on it (so small that he had to put it under a microscope to read it). A few minutes later in the episode, however, he shows the piece of paper to Sean, and it is significantly larger in size.

Quentin Costa - S3-E15

Continuity mistake: At the climax of the episode when Quentin is revealed at the Carver, he has Sean and Christian tied up in their chairs and he cuts one of Sean's fingers off, of which Sean screams in pain. A few minutes later after Quentin is shot dead and officers/paramedics are assisting the scene, an overhead camera shot shows the entire area and floor around Sean's chair without any ounce of blood. Wouldn't there have been tons of blood from a finger being cut off?

Sophia Lopez II - S1-E9

Visible crew/equipment: When Christian and Merrill are getting ready to watch the fights at Christian's home; just after Christian hands over the remote and stands to go change you can see part of a crew member standing behind his chair on the right of the screen. (00:09:40)
