A plot hole is usually a continuity problem with story logic rather than surface details.
A simple way to handle it
- Check what made the event possible.
- Check who knew enough for the event to happen.
- Check what the event should change afterward.
Author question
How do I avoid plot holes in my story?
Audit every major turning point for setup, consequence, and reader knowledge. Most plot holes appear when a story event happens without enough cause, without the right information being available, or without later consequences being acknowledged.
