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.
Patrick Jane: Don't worry.
Teresa Lisbon: Don't worry about what?
Patrick Jane: You're worried that I'm gonna be upset because you invited your brothers to our marriage.
Teresa Lisbon: How did you know that?
Patrick Jane: When we're married, you think you might stop asking that question?
Trivia: The lakeside cabin Jane bought was shot on location at Disney's Golden Oak Ranch. It is called 'Cabin by the Lake'. Http://www.lamag.com/citythinkblog/scene-golden-oak-ranch-mentalist/.
