The Promise - S3-E11

Continuity mistake: When Bo goes to Richard's room for the first time, in the view from inside the patient's room, as Bo pushes open the door we can see the hallway behind him, and there's a perpendicular wall beside the door. This wall does not exist when he visits Richard the second time, because there's a hallway leading to the elevator outside of Richard's door.

The Promise - S3-E11

Continuity mistake: When Bo Jensen goes to Richard's room for the second time, as he pushes open the door we can see there's a wall perpendicular to the door, but when Bo is in the room there's a wide widow covered with curtains where that wall was. The window with curtains can also be seen in the exterior shots, when Richard jumps out the hallway window.

The Promise - S3-E11

Revealing mistake: When Richard jumps out of the 6th floor window, in the interior shot we see that he lands right at the base of the window's frame, as his body bounces back from the impact, but when Brackett looks out the window Richard is lying on the ledge, which is much farther down than the window's bottom frame.

The Promise - S3-E11

Continuity mistake: After Johnny finds the missing mechanic, when he turns him over from his stomach to his back, Johnny's wearing a watch on his left wrist, but in the closeup showing Johnny's arms turning the catatonic mechanic over, Johnny's watch has vanished.

Zero - S3-E10

Visible crew/equipment: After Mrs. Mannering walks over to Dixie and asks about her son, when she and Dixie head to Brackett's office, the outline of the lav mic transmitter is visible on the back of Dixie's uniform, and a bulge is also noticeable on the back of Mrs. Mannering's sweater.

Zero - S3-E10

Continuity mistake: When Tommy's in the treatment room, drinking chocolate milk and playing with the Lincoln Logs, the building he's putting together changes significantly between the two side shots and the shot facing him.

Inheritance Tax - S3-E9

Other mistake: During the fire at the paint factory, just after the barrels at the back of the pickup up truck explode, in the next shot we see Marco and Chet manning a hose. In this closeup, another fireman runs up to them and he's wearing a helmet with 51 on it, but it's obvious he's not one of 51's guys, plus Roy and John are with the burn victim and Mike's at the engine. The fact that it's a closeup and we can see perfectly well that he's not actually from 51 makes this too odd.

Inheritance Tax - S3-E9

Continuity mistake: When Dixie opens the door to Brackett's office, there's a pile of white papers on the desk in front of Brackett, but when he walks out of the office, in the view from the hallway, the desk lamp has moved and there are no papers where there were in the previous shot.

Inheritance Tax - S3-E9

Other mistake: After Mr. Winthrop is brought to the ER, there is a closeup of his EKG monitor as it's picking up multiple PVCs, but when Brackett asks him about the tension in his life, the monitor seen behind him is showing a flat line. This happens once again after Roy and John leave the treatment room, just before they move him to CCU.

Insomnia - S3-E8

Other mistake: After Roy and Johnny get back to the station, when Johnny takes the container of milk out of the fridge, we can see the black tape around it covering the brand name. There's another container in the fridge with red tape covering its brand name as well.

Promotion - S3-E7

Visible crew/equipment: After Roy breaks the window with the chair, the guys place the ladder against the window and Marco starts to climb up. In the next interior shot, just as Roy and Johnny lift the security guard, right outside the window we can see the corner of something else (platform-like), besides the top of the ladder.

The Mouse - S4-E20

Continuity mistake: At the apartment complex fire, after Truck 82 sets its outriggers, Engine 28 is right behind them with their supply line and duals laid out, but quite a few shots later Engine 28 is just pulling up behind 82, even though they were already there all set up.

The Mouse - S4-E20

Visible crew/equipment: At the apartment complex fire, when Truck 82 raises its ladder, we can see the second floor balcony behind the rig, and there is a crew member wearing a long sleeved blue shirt and white hat, standing in front of the corner apartment, where there should be smoke pouring out, but there is none. The reflection of the cameraman/crew member wearing a white hat also becomes visible in Truck 82's wing mirror.

The Mouse - S4-E20

Revealing mistake: During the fire at the apartment complex, there are strips of black material nailed to the tops of windows where the FX fire shoots out from below, and the doorway Roy passes when he's pulling on the hose has a fake ceiling and wall nailed directly into the door jamb, to control the strip of FX fire at the side.

The Mouse - S4-E20

Revealing mistake: At the apartment complex fire, just as Chet climbs the ladder and Marco holds the top of the ladder on the second floor balcony, we see the plumes of FX smoke spurting from the side inside the doorway behind them, and even see something quickly fanning the smoke.
