The Five Daughters Affair (1) - S3-E28

(00:19:10)
The Cap and Gown Affair - S3-E30
Continuity mistake: At the end of the episode when Napoleon is talking with Minerva, Minerva's right hand jumps from her sternum to Napoleon's shoulder and back again. (00:47:25)
Answer: He must have ridden in an Eaton's store elevator while he was in Canada at some point. For some reason, this elevator reminds him of it. The show's original concept had Solo being a Canadian, so this may be a minor nod to that fact.
