Once Upon a Time

What Happened to Frederick - S1-E13

Revealing mistake: When Regina finds Henry with Emma at his playground In "Fruit of the Poisonous Tree", her license plate number is 40F5 TH. When the gym teacher finds Kathryn's car in this episode, his car has the same license plate, indicating that it is a reused prop. The same license plate appears on yet another car when August drives off with his motorcycle in "The Return", on Archie Hopper's car when he tries to cross the town line in "We Are Both", and on a parked car when Emma and the others arrive in Storybrooke in "Mother." (00:40:10)

Tiny - S2-E13

Continuity mistake: When Anton is trapped in the hole, right before Charming exits his car, there is a shot of Anton clinging to the pipe, where you can see the rope they will use to rescue him, dangling next to him; even though the rope hasn't been lowered down yet. (00:20:40)

Kylantha

The Stable Boy - S1-E18

Continuity mistake: When Emma hears the scream and asks Ruby what's going on, her hands are bare, but as she runs off to investigate, she's suddenly wearing red gloves. In the next shot, her hands are bare again. (00:40:30)

Think Lovely Thoughts - S3-E8

Continuity mistake: In Neverland, when Rumplestiltskin's father tells him to think of a food, a slice of cake appears in the palm of the boy's hand. When Rumple walks to place the cake down, suddenly there's a round, white doily under the slice, but when he sets the cake on the wood the doily is gone again. (00:16:50)

Super Grover

The Heart of the Truest Believer - S3-E1

Continuity mistake: When Neal and Mulan are walking to Rumpestiltskin's castle, after Mulan says "Your belief in love wasn't strong enough to overcome your fear of rejection", her hair keeps changing. In close-ups, some of her hair is over her shoulders; in the wideshots, all of her hair is behind her shoulders. (00:23:00)

Kylantha

The Stable Boy - S1-E18

Continuity mistake: Regina and Daniel are in the stable. Regina's hands are on his face, he reaches up and pulls them down, cut to behind Daniel and her hands are back up on the side of his head. Cut back to side view, and Daniel's hands are still holding Regina's down. (00:16:40)

Skin Deep - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: Belle is talking to Rumplestiltskin and sitting on his dining room table. The red rose in the vase he gave her keeps moving. It is leaning to the right, to straight up, then to leaning to the right again. Neither of them touch it, so it should not be shifting around.

New York City Serenade - S3-E12

Plot hole: When talking to Hook about the photos, Emma states he could have photoshopped them to make it look like she and Henry were in Storybrooke, however she had taken them directly from Henry's camera and had them developed. So Hook had no way to photoshop the pictures from inside the camera. (00:27:00)

Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Henry asks Emma to come to Storybrooke with him, his hands jump from the bottle of juice in front of him to the tabletop between shots. (00:08:55)

Cubs Fan

Mother - S4-E20

Continuity mistake: When Mary Margaret gets thrown by the Lily dragon into a rock, her blood smear on her head is large and messy. They cut away and cut back to her quickly and it is nice and neat with two blood drop lines slowly forming away from the cut. (00:44:00)

Tricia Webster

Best Laid Plans - S4-E16

Revealing mistake: When Snow White and Prince Charming hurriedly make their way through the woods in the beginning of the episode, in the shot where Snow White jumps over a log, you can see the face of Ginnifer Goodwin's and Josh Dallas' stunt doubles. Josh Dallas' stunt double can also be seen as Snow and Charming are running thought the woods in the previous shot.

Kylantha

Tallahassee - S2-E6

Revealing mistake: When Hook and Emma are climbing up the beanstalk, as Hook remarks, "First beanstalk?", you can see that Colin O'Donoghue is actually gripping the vine with his left hand, which is covered up by his sleeve; the hand that was cut off. (00:08:50)

Kylantha

Lacey - S2-E19

Mr. Gold: She now thinks she's a scantily clad barfly named Lacey. She has a false life, like you did under the curse with Kathryn, only hers apparently involves a lot more alcohol.

He can sees the future all jumbled up. It is like a puzzle, it is hard to put together, but even when he does put it together it is not set in stone the future can change.
