Plot hole: When Sid and Hawks are telling mac that the piece of glass from the girls shoulder is from the window from bar, Sid tells Mac the scar shows it healed in the last month, but it's been established several times earlier in the episode that the bar shooting happened 3 months earlier.
Continuity mistake: Episode 6-6, "It Happened to Me": when Hawkes talks to Stella at the end of the episode, he has both of his hands raised out in front of him. In the next shot, his left arm is down by his side, and he raises it again. (00:41:10)
Hammer Down - S6-E7
Visible crew/equipment: Season 6, episode 7 "Hammer Down": Just after Mac and Ray have finished briefing the other officers as they are about to begin a chase, there is an actor's red T-mark on the floor, visible just as the officers begin to walk towards the scene.
Continuity mistake: When Stella and Linsday are checking a table in Rob Mayer's home, when Stella is about to move the table, she has two gloves in hers hands (not wearing them, just holding). In the next shot, she is just holding one glove. And when the shot changes again, she is instantly wearing gloves on both hands. (00:25:35)
Continuity mistake: When Mrs. Baldwin shows up at Sid's office near the end of the episode, Sid is viewing his computer with his hand on his chin in thought. When he looks up, his hand is on the table top. (00:38:50)
Pot of Gold - S6-E17
Continuity mistake: When Danny talks to Lindsay in the lab, he folds his arms over his chest left over right. In the following shots, his arms are right over left, then back to left over right. (00:10:50)
Rest In Peace, Marina Garito - S6-E18
Continuity mistake: At the end, Mac goes into Stella's office and she's asleep on the couch. The clock reads 10:37. As he covers her with the blanket it reads 10:36. Then when he leaves, it reads 10:37 again.
Continuity mistake: In the scene that Lindsay is taking photos with her phone, she states she was taking pictures to send to her mom. Her mom died when she was a child.
Character mistake: In the scene in which Stella, Adam, and Hawkes are trying to get clues from the $1 bill left by Shane Casey at the bar, Stella notes that the Latin phrase "E Pluribus Unum" has had its word order changed and now reads "E Unum Pluribus". From this, she deduces that the meaning has changed from 'from many, one" to "from one, many'. However, Latin is a highly inflected language, in which the meaning of a word changes not from its position in a sentence, but from the ending that is attached to the word. Therefore, both 'e pluribus unum' and 'e unum pluribus' mean exactly the same thing.
Chosen answer: Probably to broaden the scope of the show's plot and give the audience a chance to see the characters in a different setting, People act differently at home from the way they do at their workplace. By the ninth season, the characters would have become overly familiar and predictable. It gives the writers a chance to do something different with them.
