Charm and Harm - S1-E20

Visible crew/equipment: During the plane interior scene after the opening credits as JJ is walking around handing out documents to the team, you can see a gap in the lighting outside and a crew member's face peeking out from behind the white walls. (00:04:00)

The Fisher King: Part 1 - S1-E22

Visible crew/equipment: When Elle arrives back at her home the camera pans and you can see the face of a man in the mirror. A man who is not the Fischer King as he has no facial burn marks on him. Potentially simply a stand-in for the character or the actor without the makeup as when the Fischer King is going to shoot Elle you cannot see his face.

What Happens at Home... - S6-E10

Character mistake: After the murder that takes place while the team is at the church meeting, they gather together to talk about narrowing down the suspect list to the people who didn't show up to the meeting. Spencer shows up with a stack of papers and says 18 suspects didn't show up. We then see his actor break character and almost laughs when he looks over at Ashley, whose actress too almost breaks character from laughing.
