Continuity mistake: When Gage sees Sheila in the hallway at Rampart while she's undercover, he stops her midway between treatment room three and four and they are standing face to face. In the wide shots of both of them and in Sheila's close-ups, she's standing right in front of the emergency fire hose glass cabinet, but in Gage's close-ups, he's standing directly in front of the door to treatment room four, farther up the hallway.
Continuity mistake: During the hotel fire, when Chet and Marco carry the gear-filled Stokes basket to the room where DeSoto and Gage are performing CPR, the drug box (black) and Biophone (orange case) reverse their positions in the Stokes basket between shots.

Audio problem: At the site of the crashed plane, when the trapped pilot screams, "Help, I can't get out, the doors are jammed," his mouth movements do not sync with the words we hear. Then once he's out, it happens again when he says "I guess I'm a little shook."

Deliberate mistake: At the very end of the episode, Roy and John are walking back to the unit and the driver side mirror appears to be parallel with the unit. The driver would see their own reflection at best.

Continuity mistake: When Engine 51 rolls up to the house with the fire in the toilet and then also at the hydrant that Roy and Johnny lock off, Engine 51's license plate reads 110856 (different engine). However, right after Chet proposes a treaty, when Station 51 is dispatched to the "construction accident," just as the front bay door opens in the shot from inside the apparatus bay, Engine 51's plate reads 180174.
Continuity mistake: After Roy frees the woman's fingers from the mixer, they use the yellow dish towel and she tosses it into the sink, but in the next shot when Johnny suggests serving Mai Tais, the yellow towel is suddenly back in her hands and the white towel is now over Johnny's shoulders.

Continuity mistake: When the drunk driver arrives in the ER and is taken into treatment 5, Vince is with the intoxicated man, but at the accident scene while they're still trying to get the little girl out of the car, after Roy checks Debbie's pupillary response, in the closeup of Debbie's mother Vince is still standing right beside her. Neat trick for Vince to be in two places at the same time.
Continuity mistake: After the explosion at Rampart's lab, Brackett and Dixie head out receiving with two gurneys carrying emergency necessities, Dixie's gurney has light blue trim and Brackett's gurney has a double rod trim at the top, but outside Dixie's blue trim gurney has vanished, hers now has double rods and Brackett's has single rod trim.

Continuity mistake: After treating the girl who had a soda pop bottle explode in her face, when John and Roy are carrying the stretcher out the door, they're facing the stretcher and each other in the interior shot, but in the exterior shot John has turned around, with his back facing Roy while carrying the stretcher.
