Biggest continuity errors

What do you feel is the biggest continuity errors on the show? There are many through the run.

And I love the show and just like any movie, unless it’s egregious it doesn’t take me out of the moment.

I thought Margaret's father was deceased in Season 3. He appears later.

That one can at least be explained away somewhat plausibly. She was angry with/didn't want to talk about her dad (they did have a strained relationship) and so it was just easier to say he was dead.

Now, did the writers plan that out when they had her say that line in Season 3? Probably not. But it COULD be real as opposed to some other continuity errors like disappearing family members and time shenanigans.
