The Key - S1-E19

Plot hole: C-Note says about pulling a simple bump and grab on The Key like they did before. However, when Abruzzi and his men get The Key the 1st time, C-Note wasn't in the group then. It is extremely unlikely they would divulge this trivial piece of information as the issue is long since resolved. (00:03:50)

Tonight - S1-E20

Continuity mistake: When Abruzzi is on the phone arranging a plane for that night, the train in the station that is seen leaving changes between shots. The number painted on the outside of the front door changes from 3434 to 3410 and the number in the passenger window changes from 418 to 425. These are metal numbers not an LCD display. The destination, Kimball, stays the same. (00:13:35)

Answer: Roughly as follows. Linc "kills" Steadman in 2001. Michael robs the bank on March 9th 2005 and is sent to Fox River on April 11th. The breakout from Fox River takes place on or around May 25-31. Michael arrives in Sona on June 17th 2005. More details are here: https://prisonbreak.fandom.com/wiki/Prison_Break_timeline.

That wouldn't make sense because the original grave stone in series 4 has Michael's death date as 2005, which is supposed to be at least 3 years after Fox River.
