Other mistake: When Stephen looks at his phone you can see the phone charging symbol even though the phone he's holding isn't charging. (00:06:53)
Continuity mistake: At the end of the episode, the team and their SUVs are spike stripped and then hit by a semi. When the team is shown in the SUVs and when the SUVs are shown hitting the sticks, the SUVs are eleventh generation Suburbans, but when the semi is shown hitting them, they're ninth generation, at least nine years older.
Other mistake: In the opening scene, the car has a Florida license plate visible on the front. Vehicles registered in Florida (and eighteen other states) don't have plates on the front.
Continuity mistake: The same flashback of Roslyn Jareau giving her necklace to JJ is shown twice, but their dialogue is slightly different the second time.
Conspiracy vs. Theory - S17-E5
Plot hole: In order to deactivate the bomb vest, Penelope blocks all cell service in that area. But she reacts positively to the disabling of the bomb back in headquarters, and she keeps talking with the team without restoring cell service.
Chosen answer: Back in Target Rich, a hitman named Giuseppe Montolo dies whilst being interrogated by Derek. The men who abducted Derek were hired by his father, Chazz, who seems to blame Derek for his son's death. It's explained further in A Beautiful Disaster.
