Brother's Keeper - S1-E16

Plot hole: In a previous episode Link says he ditched the gun after he was framed and that he chose the gun the night before. Earlier in the episode, Michael met Link off the street, then went to a bar and met Veronica, then those two go to Michael's apartment. At the apartment, Michael gets the call from Link who is trying to get Michael to talk him out of killing Stedman. But how could he choose a gun the night before when he is asked to kill Stedman and calls Michael on the same day?

J-Cat - S1-E17

Continuity mistake: Before being sent to psyche ward, Michael had brutally hurt his right hand by repeatedly punching it at the cement wall of the cell. But moments later,seen in psyche ward after being cleaned up, there's no sign of any hurt on that hand, even no gauze covering at all. We can see his normal good hand.

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)

Revealing mistake: At the start we see a clip of a heavy forklift carrying a white car in the scrap yard. Later on we see the same clip used again but cut short of the Mustang appearing in shot. (00:07:30 - 00:15:50)

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.
