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.
