Continuity mistake: Jane ordered the leather couch he is later seen napping on for the office in a previous season when he made a deal to be able to get a couch (only upper-level officers were allowed to have couches). Since this episode was a flashback to the first time Jane met and worked with the team, the couch he falls asleep on would not have been there, as that event had not yet happened.

1 continuity mistake in season 5
Starring: Robin Tunney, Simon Baker, Owain Yeoman, Tim Kang
Green Thumb - S6-E10
Character mistake: When Kim is trying to convince Lisbon to help the FBI on their case, she says Jane stopped the ten-year reign of a mass murderer. Red John was a serial killer, which, by the FBI's definition, is a criminal behavior distinctly different from mass murder; he may have had a large number of victims, but he killed them either one or a couple at a time, with a cooling-off period in between, not all at once.
Teresa Lisbon: I don't think I've said this. I mean, I know I haven't said this, but I don't really know if I need to, because you always know what I'm thinking.
Patrick Jane: Well, not everything.
Teresa Lisbon: Would you be surprised if I said I love you?
Patrick Jane: I'd be... I'd be lying if didn't say I would be moved by that.
Teresa Lisbon: I love you.
Trivia: At the time the episode was shooting, Lucy Davis, who plays the victim's widow, was married to Owain Yeoman.
