Continuity mistake: When Vance is packing up to leave at the end of the episode, he opens a red folder on his desk. When Jenny enters the office a moment later, the folder is instantly on top of Vance's briefcase. (00:41:45)
Visible crew/equipment: Two crew members are visible on the right lens of Jenny's sunglasses just before she enters the deserted diner. (00:23:15)
Visible crew/equipment: Lighting equipment is reflected in the director's sunglasses when she tells Tony and Ziva that they can have the rest of the trip off at the funeral. (00:03:30)
Continuity mistake: In one scene, Tony observes that Ziva never uses contractions when she talks, and Ziva even seems confused as to what they are. But in previous episodes, Ziva not only knows what contractions are, but uses them frequently.

Continuity mistake: When DiNozzo wonders why Jardine came on the mission to Iraq, Jardine's hands move from gripping her pack straps to hanging down at her sides. (00:16:00)
Continuity mistake: When Abby is first discussing the victim's blood types, there is a shot from behind her that shows a black band wrapped around her upper left thigh about an inch below the hem of her skirt. The shot changes to a front view and the black band is gone.
Character mistake: We see McGee searching on his computer and the phrase "violaters will be prosecuted" is seen below the search bar. The word violators is misspelled. (00:14:50)
Visible crew/equipment: As Gibbs, Ziva and Tony enter the Nelson home with guns drawn; just after Ziva enters, a man can be seen reflected in the door's window (Gibbs and Tony are in frame, and there is no other character there). Tony enters, then Gibbs - and we see the cameraman reflected also. (00:19:45)
Other mistake: When McGee tells Gibbs that Nelson erased his entire hard drive, the camera shows the diagnostic he is running - "Primary Drive Erased: 100%." Yet the details below show 93GB used of 111GB total, and the drive letter is G: (not C: as it would most likely be.) It could be argued that his C: drive is simply an OS drive, and G: is his data drive, but still, 93GB used is not 'erased'. (00:22:05)
Continuity mistake: While Franks and Gibbs are talking in the diner, Franks' hair goes from being swept back to hanging over his forehead throughout the scene.
