Prison Break

We open with Sammy whining to Lechero about that guy Michael killed in the first few episodes in the chicken foot fight. Lechero tells Sammy to stop moaning. T-Bag, meanwhile, who’s been listening to the coversation, goes to the coutyard and catches the attention of his new best friend: Whistler.

Mahone’s got mail! It’s a picture of his son. Dear Lord, Mahone’s brought a tear to my eye two episodes in a row. Damn him!

Michael’s brushing off McGrady’s questions about the failed helicopter escape in the courtyard when Whistler comes up to tell Michael that T-Bag is now on the break-out train. HAHA. Michael, who to his credit does not suddenly scream “You’ve got to be kidding me!”, simply stares into the distance while Mahone approaches and asks about the plan.

T-Bag is following the boys into the tunnel, shouting “I’m coming with you!” He sounds like a kid in the fifth grade trying to tag along with the popular crowd. Michael and Lechero manage to delegate look-out duty to T-Bag, who glares petulantly.

Inside the tunnel, Michael tells Lechero to hook them up with a saw so they can create the right support for the hole they’re digging. Is it wrong of me to hope that digging will result in sweatiness that will cause the cute boys in Sona to take off their shirts, lest they overheat? I mean, seriously, is that wrong?

Lechero sends T-Bag to fetch some tools, because Lechero has absolutely no prior escape experience with T-Bag and is unaware that he’ll turn on you at the drop of a hat. When T-Bag leaves Sammy sneaks up on Lechero and points a gun to his head. Oy, this can’t end well.

Sammy’s all “this is my room now!” (I’m not paraphrasing, that’s a direct quote) and insists that he’s in charge of Sona now. Sammy unwisely (because it’s going to come back and bite him in the ass) lets Lechero leave.

Back in the tunnel, the boys are gathering wood. Sammy is surveying his new kingdom in the courtyard of Sona, announcing his coup, and offering a case of rum to the first prisoner who brings him Michael. Do you think if I offered someone a case of rum they would bring me Wentworth? Cause I’ll do it.

Lincoln’s searching for Whistler’s alias (Gary Miller) on the net. Sucre’s setting up a meeting for Lincoln. He also says that he’s off to meet with Susan.

T-Bag purposes two options to Lechero: (1) let Sammy in on the escape, which, if I was Sammy, I would refuse considering what happened to most of the Fox River 8, or (2) get Sammy killed. T-Bag offers to outsource the killing.

T-Bag approaches Bellick and indicates that there’s an escape plan in the works. But Bellick can only jump onboard if he uses those sneaky fight moves from his last fight (drugging his opponent and then knocking them out) on Sammy. They’re just playing fast and loose with invitations to the break out, aren’t they? Don’t these people know that the more people who are in on a secret, the less likely it is to remain secret. That’s why whenever I let people in on secrets, I end up killing them. Um….I probably shouldn’t have admitted that on the internet, huh?.

Lincoln’s out buying supplies with Sofia. She is….again, for the 10 millionth time….questioning whether Linc will screw over Whistler. Alright, Sofia, we get it! Ok? We freaking get it. You love Whistler, but you’re afraid to trust him. WE GET IT. Enough.

Susan’s sending an email to someone named Edward Guthrie. And she’s sending it as Gary Miller. Well, since that’s the same name that Whistler’s using, I’m guessing he’s in pretty tight with Susan and, likely, the Company. Sucre enters the bar and approaches her. Sucre doesn’t really appreciate Susan’s “Sucre means sugar” joke. He tells her that Linc knows that LJ is in danger and will play by the book. She hands him a cashier’s check for $25,000 and walks out. A cashier’s check sounds fishy.

In the tunnel the boys are learning the fine art of bracing and Michael’s showing why he’s the one with the $100,000 education by using a small metal plug to basically brace the whole damn tunnel. Whistler admits that he was supposed to kill Michael otherwise the Company would hurt his family. What family? Mahone, meanwhile, wonders where Lechero is.

In the halls, T-Bag assures Lechero that everything is “set”. Bellick proves that he really is stupider than he looks and challenges Sammy to a fight.

Global TV has just informed me that Robert Knepper draws a cartoon for his 4 year old son every day. Awe. That’s cute.

Bellick’s in his cell, informing T-Bag that he’s got no more acetone left to drug Sammy with. T-Bag doesn’t give a crap; he tells Bellick he’s got to continue with the fight.

Linc’s arriving for the meeting Sucre set up for him. Linc (who’s taken Sofia along) offers the mysterious guy money in exchange for an unknown product. We quickly learn that Linc’s shopping for a bomb, along with a remote trigger.

In the tunnel, the boys are still wondering where Lechero and the saw are. Whistler starts telling his (potentially fake) story: one day Susan approached him to do charters for her employers. Mahone delivers the funniest line I’ve ever heard from him. Here’s how it goes:

Mahone: Quit embarrassing yourself.
Whistler: What?
Mahone: We’re not two chicks at a bar you’re trying to pick up. (to Michael) Unless you need to hear this?
Michael: No.
Mahone: (to Whistler): You work for the Company. And when you break out of here you’re going to do whatever the Company asks you to do.

Ha! The delivery of that was spot-on!

Sammy’s shadow-boxing in preparation for his fight.

In the tunnel, Michael asks for Whistler’s book. He asks about the various words written in the book and Whistler has an answer for everything.

Now Sammy’s meditating in preparation for the fight. Ha! He’s all very Zen about the fighting and the killing, isn’t he? He’s also very bare-chested, having decided to forgo a shirt in anticipation of the headache that he’ll get trying to wash Bellick’s blood out of it. Bellick, meanwhile, is frantically searching for any sort of chemical with which to drug Sammy. Unfortunately, he gets dragged off to the fight by one of Sammy’s new minions.

T-Bag finds Lechero hiding out. T-Bag wants Lechero to stop playing hide and seek because he’s afraid that if Lechero doesn’t go to Michael, Michael will come looking for Lechero and will get captured by Sammy, thereby threatening the escape plan.

In the courtyard, Bellick and Sammy square off.

Back inside, Mahone, Whistler and Michael exit the tunnel in search of tools.

We go back and forth between the boys leaving the tunnels and the fight. Unfortunately for the boys, they encounter Sammy’s minions and have to run back to the tunnel. Then they get into a fight of their own which involves a machete. A machete! That’s awesome. Michael and Mahone make it back into the tunnel while Whistler gets left outside.

Speaking of outside, Bellick’s getting choked by Sammy when he catches a lucky break: one of the minions comes to get Sammy, informing him that Michael’s been found. Sammy demands the combination to the tunnel from Whistler. Mahone won’t let Michael go out to save Whistler.

Back at the hotel, Sucre tells Linc about his meeting with Susan, and Linc asks him to set up another meeting with her.

In the tunnel, Mahone’s creating make-shift tools out of rebar buried in the concrete. In the courtyard, Sammy confronts Lechero, accusing him of hiding Michael.

In Panama City, Susan’s picking up Sucre in a car. He tells her that Linc bought a gun and he manages to slip the bomb under her car seat. She, meanwhile, tells him that she doesn’t buy his act for a second: she thinks that he and Linc are trying to set her up and threatens Maricruz (she now knows where Maricruz lives since Sucre sent the money from the check to her). Then she spazes out and tells him to go get her some real information.

Sammy now demands the combination from Lechero. Michael opens the door and Lechero is dragged inside. Sammy accuses Lechero of escaping with Michael and it sounds like he’s accusing Lechero of cheating on him. Michael offers Sammy the escape tunnel in exchange for a partnership, but Sammy’s having none of it. As Sammy reaches up into the tunnel we see that Michael has rigged it to collapse on him. When the minions are sufficiently distracted, the boys gain the upper hand.

Michael’s staring at Sammy, likely coming to the realization that he’s deliberately killed someone for the first time. The other boys go to make sure that there isn’t a sinkhole out in no-man’s land. And Lechero shows the rest of the prisoners that there has been a second coup and he’s back in charge.

Bellick insists to T-Bag that he’s in or he’ll blow the escape plan. T-Bag agrees.

Lincoln goes to pick up something and hands a paper bag to Sofia. He tells her “if he doesn’t take you, I will”. She opens the bag to find a little key chain of the Eifel Tower. He’s basically offered to take Sofia to Paris if Whistler doesn’t.

In his cell, Michael reveals that he deliberately set up Sammy to die (which was kind of obvious). McGrady approaches him and offers him all of his money if only Michael will let him in on the escape. Awe. That poor boy. Michael, unfortunately, tells him he wants no part of it.

At home, Sofia’s pinning for Whistler but slowly coming to the realization that she might have a crush on Lincoln. She starts clearing her closet of Whistler’s clothes and finds his bag. A search of it reveals a false bottom and a mysterious case.

Linc’s visiting Michael. He tells him about Whistler’s fake passport. Michael questions Whistler’s real job as Sofia pulls the mysterious case out of the bag.

We have to wait two more weeks for a new episode, folks. I’ll see you back here then….same bat time, same bat channel. Clarissa out.

When we last saw Michael, he was getting carted out of Sona. Lechero looks on worriedly as Michael gets taken away by General Zavala’s men. That’ll teach Lechero not to rely on any one person for a prison-escape plan. You gotta have a plan B, man!

Zavala takes Michael to his office and offers him a drink of water. Huh, this meeting is going better than I thought it would. He hasn’t even pistol-whipped Michael yet. Pistol-whipping is always a sign of bad things to come, so Michael’s day is looking up. Michael denies any involvement in the aborted helicopter escape attempt from earlier that day (or 2 months ago, in our time). Wentworth’s stubble is coming in again. I don’t like the stubble. It looks all weird and sharp. It bugs me.

Zavala quickly loses patience. He drags Michael back into the yard and throws him into the Sona version of solitary confinement: basically a cage wrapped in saran-wrap with the hot Panamanian sun shinning down on it. Michael sweats off about 3 1/2 pounds in two to three minutes. Seriously, PB people, I know that it’s a bother to continuously apply the whole Scofield full-torso tattoo, but do you know how bloody unlikely it is that Michael is wearing long-sleeves in Panama?

Lincoln’s leaving the hospital with Sofia, sporting a clean white bandage on his arm. Sofia can’t stop complaining about how Whistler is a sneaky liar of a boyfriend, but she still wants him out of Sona. Ah yes, the betrayed girlfriend routine. I know this one well. But when I play it, I don’t sound so whiney. She switches gears and thanks Lincoln for saving her ass.

Susan shows up and drags Lincoln away into a waiting car. She tells Sofia to buggar off.

Lang is delivering Mahone back to Sona. He seems strangely accepting of his fate. She presents him with a family heirloom/good luck charm. Awe, this scene brings a little tear to my eye. As Mahone is brought back into the prison, he sees Michael in the box.

Susan brings Lincoln to a small warehouse, where he’s allowed to visit with a bound and gagged LJ. LJ warns Lincoln that he’s always being followed and announces that he was in the room while Sara’s head was being cut off. Holy crap, do you have any idea how much that would traumatize me? I’m talking about years that I would spend rocking in a corner and mumbling nonsensically. LJ’s awfully composed considering what he’s been through. Lincoln promises that he and Michael will save LJ.

Whistler greets Mahone in the Sona courtyard and tells him that the plan is still a go. Whistler also says that they have a way to escape that doesn’t involve Michael. Bellick and T-Bag are strolling together, friendly as you please, discussing Michael’s current situation in the hot cage. Bellick accuses T-Bag of being involved in Michael’s escape plan, but T-Bag denies it.

One of Lechero’s friends comes by and demands that Bellick mop up some vomit. Bellick refuses. Methinks he’ll come to regret that later.

Michael’s hallucinating/sweating in the hot box. Sucre is met by his former business associate (who had him smuggle something into the prison) and agrees to help him again when he’s threatened with a gun. Arriving at work, Sucre offers to bring Michael some water. Michael and Sucre share a touching scene, reminiscent of their old buddy relationship. Michael wants Sucre to run away from the plan.

Down in the tunnel, Whistler and Lechero are attempting to dig up. That plan gets shot to hell when Lechero quickly concludes that they need Michael’s engineering skills.

Zavala offers Michael his assistance and finally finally admits that he’s been working on his escape since the moment he set foot in Sona. Which isn’t really true, but whatever. Zavala removes him from the cage.

Michael tells Zavala all about the Company, Whistler, LJ’s kidnapping….everything. Zavala offers to have his troops find LJ, but tells Michael he doesn’t believe the rest of the story.

Lincoln returns to the hotel and finds Sucre, who quickly admits that he ran drugs (or something) into the prison. Sucre tells Linc that Michael was placed in solitary.

T-Bag, ever the opportunist, starts chatting up Whistler, mentioning that Sammy doesn’t like Lechero’s new choice of friends (namely Michael and Whistler). T-Bag wonders if the world wouldn’t be a better place without Sammy. T-Bag offers to find someone to kill Sammy, but tells Whistler that if he does, he gets to be in the break-out club, Sona chapter. Awe, T-Bag just wants to make more friends. And possibly break out of prison to continue his murder spree.

Lincoln has changed out of his nice, clean, non-sweaty t-shirt into a dark blue, sweat-drenched shirt. Sucre tells him he can’t quit the drug mule job unless Lincoln throws him a few bucks. Lincoln tells him to go shove it up his ass. I bet Sucre’s wishing “why can’t I be teamed up with Michael again….the guy who wouldn’t leave me to drown in a stream….instead of his meany brother?” A Company informative, who’s been spying on Lincoln, calls Susan. I assume the Company will soon bribe Sucre with cash.

Zavala, who has been playing detective, tells Michael that maybe there’s some truth to his crazy tale after all. Zavala insists that Michael give up Whistler’s name in exchange for him finding LJ.

Sofia’s confronting Whistler at the visitor fence. As usual, he’s got an explanation for all of her accusations. Unfortunately, he gets dragged off to Zavala’s office.

Whistler denies Michael’s story when confronted by Zavala. Zavala doesn’t buy Whistler’s denials and insists on the name of the person in charge on the outside. When Whistler refuses to give up anything, a chair is brought into the room. But not just any chair. A torture chair. One that involves a bucket and a garden hose. Pfft, you don’t need the hose to drown someone and provoke them into talking, you just need the bucket. Maybe the hose is for strangling…. Why am I even questioning this? How sick am I?

T-Bag welcomes Mahone back to Sona. T-Bag quickly proposes that Mahone kill Sammy in exchange for a continuous supply of free drugs.

Whistler caves in about two seconds and under barely any torture at all (if you can consider Zavala yelling at him as torture). Wow, Whistler. Way to have a pair. He admits that he’s working with Michael, but denies that anyone else is involved. When he’s brought to Michael, Michael insists that Whistler give up Susan’s name. He even yells. Yelling Michael is always hot. Whistler, bowing to the mighty power of the Scofield yell, which is now apparently as powerful as the Scofield stare, quickly gives up Susan (aka Gretchen).

Susan approaches Sucre at a bar. She offers him $50,000 in exchange for Sucre keeping her updated on Lincoln. Sucre seems to be debating the offer. Sucre! Betraying Lincoln means betraying Michael. Remember that time he wouldn’t let you drown in that stream?! Remember?!

Zavala is asking Whistler for more information about Susan. Michael asks for a phone in order to get more information. He calls Linc to ask for his next meeting with Susan, which is to take place in an hour.

In the Sona courtyard, Sammy digs a mysterious package out of a box of veggies. Bellick, meanwhile, arrives at his cell to find a chicken foot. Apparently one of the other inmates isn’t happy that Bellick didn’t mop up some vomit. Haha, imagine if my boss started utilizing the chicken foot/fight to the death technique to get me and my fellow workers to behave? That would shake up the work environment.

Bellick wants to see Lechero to complain about the challenge, but Sammy dismisses him and announces that the fight will go on. Lechero isn’t pleased that Sammy issued the fight against Bellick and quickly realizes that Sammy is engaging in a power struggle with him for control of the prison.

Zavala gets a call about Susan and goes off to see her. Sucre arrives back at the hotel and….oh, you cute, cute man! Sucre smiles and tells Lincoln that their little set-up (getting Susan to offer Sucre money in exchange for info on Linc) worked. Bless those two. I love them.

Mahone’s going through more withdrawal (seriously, how long does withdrawal last?) and T-Bag arrives with drugs and taunts. Mahone refuses T-Bag’s bait.

Lincoln meets up with Susan and tells her that Whistler will be out by tomorrow. Zavala, meanwhile, arrives with guards and drags Susan away. Lincoln quickly protests that he has nothing to do with this.

Susan is taken to the torture chair and denies any involvement with Whistler. Zavala obviously doesn’t believe her and orders his men to “turn on the hose”.

The men inside the Sona courtyard are cheering for a fight while Bellick looks like he’s trying really hard not to pee his pants inside his cell. He goes outside to meet his fate.

Back in the torture room, Susan refuses to answer Zavala’s questions so he starts dry-drowning her. I just learned about this technique on last week’s episode of Law and Order: SVU. Saran-wrap is placed over her face and Zavala starts pouring water on her face. Outside the room, Whistler and Michael are listening to Gretchen’s torture. Zavala quickly concludes that Susan is a pro at surviving torture and calls the boys into the room.

Michael tells Zavala that Susan visited with Whistler. When Whistler gives her up, Susan says her only job is to look after LJ. She tells his (possibly real, possibly fake) location to Zavala. Michael asks Susan if she killed Sara and clearly doesn’t believe her denials. He chillingly tells her “I’m coming for you”. How does Wentworth Miller do it? How does he even make death threats hot? How?

Back in the courtyard Bellick is getting a beating, but quickly proves he’s not as stupid as he looks by slipping his opponent drugs, disorienting him and kicking his ass. T-Bag looks on in surprise and quickly realizes what Bellick did.

Zavala arrives at LJ’s former hiding place where Susan proceeds to kick his ass, kill the one (only one!) guard that Zavala brings with him, and shoot Zavala. *sigh* Then she calls Lincoln.

Sammy’s got a visitor, who’s obviously trying to get him to overthrow Lechero. The visitor wants Sammy to open the mysterious package from earlier.

Another army guy arrives to tell Michael and Whistler that Zavala was found dead. Michael doesn’t even flinch when he hears the news. I bet he has the best poker face in the world.

Michael asks Lechero for use of his phone and Lechero gives it up. Michael calls Linc, who’s not impressed that Michael planned to take out Susan without telling him.

Michael confronts Whistler and surmises that he only gave up Susan in order to get them both back inside Sona. Michael tells Whistler that the escape plan is going ahead, but Whistler better watch his back.

Sammy, meanwhile, opens up the mysterious package and finds a gun inside. He gets an evil little glint in his eye.

Not bad, not bad. With the strike still continuing, it’s nearly a miracle that we’ve got 4 more new episodes of the show to look forward to. Tune in next week for another new episode and another new recap. Until then….

McGrady’s all dressed up. His dad is coming today. He asks Michael if he looks okay.

Michael heads to the fence to meet with Lincoln. Lincoln says that LJ is alive. He has three days. Michael doesn’t seem to care… Lincoln tells Michael that there were three body bags at the drop-off point - that they wouldn’t have gotten out of there alive. Michael tells Lincoln that he cares about LJ and would do anything for him, but obviously Lincoln thinks Michael only cares about himself. “You used me Linc, so I guess you and the company have something in common.” Michael walks away.

Susan B. is on the phone. She says she can’t find him. Never mind, she found him. It’s Pad Man. “It’s time to clean this up. We’re ending this today. Bang and Burn.” Susan looks taken back. She says it’s next to impossible for this time frame. He says maybe he hired the wrong person. She responds with telling him to “seriously reconsider.” His guys attack her, push her down to the bed. Further threats follow.

Everyone Knows About Bang and Burn!

Susan B. talks to Whistler, telling him that they’re going with the “Bang and Burn”. “That’s suicide,” he says. “I might get killed if we do this.” Susan B. says that she might get killed if they don’t. “Be ready by 5:00,” she tells him. “What about Scofield?” he asks. “Kill him,” she replies.

Whistler’s in the courtyard, not looking so good. Lechero approaches Michael. Michael asks Lechero to speak with the Colonel about halting the guards working on the windows… Sammy walks up and tells Lechero that some of the people are acting out. They’re losing Sona.

Susan B. unrolls some plans and bosses people around.

Whistler’s Double Life

Sofia reads the front page of the newspaper, which talks about an attempted escape. The phone rings. Someone is looking for Whistler. “I am his wife,” she says. It’s Tommy Day, the landlord of the apartment that James Whistler rents from. When Sofia responds telling him that he must be mistaken he says, “Oh I assure you, Mr. Whistler is my tenant.” He says that some mail has been coming to the apartment and gives her the address. Someone is listening in. He calls Susan B. with the info.

Whistler reads the bird book. There are notes in the margin. “Mahone, Special Ops, Company? Drugs? Familiy +” Whistler burns the page.

Michael walks in and tells Whistler that the Company is giving them four more days. Whistler looks down on the floor and Michael asks him if he has anything on his mind, like visitation maybe? “What you’re a spy now?” Whistler asks. He says that she’s Company and that she approached him after the failed escape. Whistler meets with another guy in the prison and accepts a wrapped package. “You never met me,” he says before walking away.

Mahone Melts Down

In the hotel room Mahone talks about Shale to Agent Lang. He says after catching Shale, he couldn’t hand him over to a scumbag lawyer who would get him off. So he killed him. And it felt good. But then the visions came of Shale begging for his life. Mahone couldn’t get rid of them so he started taking drugs to keep on even keel. But at Sona he had to improvise. He says he can’t testify like this…

The guards continue soldering the windows. T-Bag approaches Michael with a note. It’s a sketch of Lechero’s quarters. There’s a note at the top. 4:00. 4413. Whistler unwraps his package. It’s a knife.

Sofia walks into the apartment. Tommy Day leaves her alone as he goes to get Whistler’s insurance papers. Sofia sits on the bed and looks around. She starts going through the drawers, empties envelopes.

Whistler Threatens…

Michael follows the plans and notices there’s a door in the quarters. It’s locked with a keycode. He unlocks it and they walk down the hallway. Whistler starts playing with the knife behind his back. He flashbacks to Susan B. telling him to kill Michael. Whistler says, “I’m truly sorry you got caught up in my troubles Michael.”

Just as Whistler pulls the knife they hear a noise in the hallway. “Scofield,” Lechero says as he walks in. He enters in another code and they walk further into the underground tunnels. The guards filled it in. Lechero thinks they can dig out. Michael says they can’t dig out, but they can maybe dig up.

Sofia finds an ID of Whistler with another name. Susan B. walks in. “Hello Sofia,” she says before saying taht she’s an old friend. She shoves Sofia up against the wall. “I can see why James loves you. You’re very beautiful.” Then she says to stop sticking her nose where it doesn’t belong or James will start missing her. She says that Sofia should go home, paint her nails, and get ready for James to come home so they can live happily ever after. “You are truly beautiful,” Susan B. says, runnign her hands through her hair. “I hope you can stay that way … Now get out of here.” Sofia leaves and Susan B. goes through the apartment.

Michael thinks they can either dig up or get buried alive. As they begin walking out Sammy heads into the tunnels. Lechero argues with him and leads him back up the stairs. Michael and Whistler hide to the side. They then sneak back into the tunnels without Lechero knowing. Whistler stashes the knife.

Mahone asks for Agent Lang but she is gone. The other agent tells Mahone that they need to go. Mahone wants to wait but the agent says to throw some water on his face.

Whistler starts sweating and has the shakes. Michael asks if he is okay but Whistler says he is claustrophobic and needs some air. Whistler says he needs to get out. Michael asks what is really going on and why does Whistler keep looking at his watch?

Lincoln and Sucre get the keys to a shack. They take a walk through the woods. Lincoln shoots a gun and Sucre records the sound.

Visitations

Michael approaches McGrady and asks for help. McGrady says that his father just arrived. Michael says that he needs his dad to make a phone call to someone on the outside. McGrady says that he won’t do it - he won’t put his father in jeopardy. Michael begs him and says that if he doesn’t do it, something bad will happen to his father. McGrady’s father says he looks good, that he should be in school. McGrady tells his father that his new American friends needs some help…

As they are talking Sofia walks up to the fence. Whistler steps up and says he’s glad she is there. He tells Sofia that she may not be safe. “Promise me you won’t be anywhere around Lincoln Burrows today,” Whistler says. He tells her to go home and stay there, that he’ll call her tonight. “Call me?” she asks. Whistler asks her repeatedly if she understands and asks her to promise him. She promises. “I love you, more than anything in the world,” Whistler says. “Do you?” Sofia says. She tells him about the landlord calling and asks if she should return his phone call. “Must be the wrong number,” Whistler says. He tells her again to stay away from Lincoln and she walks away.

Attacked
McGrady’s father calls Lincoln and says he has a message. “Don’t come home for dinner.” Lincoln hangs up and tells Sucre it’s a code from Michael. Sofia approaches Lincoln and Sucre. One of the goons is watching them and calls Susan B. She tells him to take them all out, that she warned Sofia.

Sofia tells Lincoln that she doesn’t know what’s going on and that Whistler told her to stay away. Lincoln calls Lechero’s cell phone. Sammy picks up. Lincoln asks to speak to Michael. Sammy hangs up. He turns to Lechero. Lechero says it’s his business.

Some of Sofia’s guys follow Lincoln, Sucre, and Sofia. Sucre and Linc overwhelm two of them but one guy holds Sofia around the neck. Lincoln shoots him right through the head. Ouch!

At the hearing Mahone keeps itching his wrist. The investigation begins and starts talking about the Company. He says that he was told to kill them all. He begins rambling and sounds slightly insane. He says he did what he did to protect his family and that he wants to go home.

T-Bag finds Michael and drags him off to see Lechero. “If your brother should ever call my cell phone again, tell him you’re the one who is going to pay,” he says before handing Michael the phone. Lincoln tells him that they just got attacked and that Sofia was warned not to be around them. “They don’t need us anymore, they’re breaking him out on their own,” Michael says with panic in his eyes.

Mission Aborted

A helicopter flies over the prison. Whistler climbs out on the room and begins waving his arms. Guards begin driving up and the helicopter begins firing. Michael climbs out on the room after him and the two begin fighting. Several guards are gunned down as the helicopter lowers a rope. Whistler grabs on and Michael grabs Whistler around the waist. They dangle over the courtyard. The guards shoot one of the men in the helicopter and he falls to the ground. They lose Whistler. “Abort, abort.” Whistler drops into the hallway and removes his shirt. Michael climbs down as well. Men are running everywhere. Michael changes his shirt. A guard grabs him by the shoulder and drags him to the courtyard.

Susan B. sits in her hotel room as the phone rings. She ignores it and takes a sip of her drink.

Mahone sits in the hallway. Agent Lang sits down beside him. “I’m so sorry, I’m going to have to take you back to Sona,” she says.

Michael is told to get up. The Colonel tells him that he is causing too many problems in Sona, so maybe he shouldn’t be there. “Say good-bye to Sona Mr. Scofield,” he says and leads Michael away.

Finally a night-time shot of Sona. Michael’s in his cell, feeding a rat out on the grounds. I hate rats. Seriously. Ew. It looks like Michael’s trying to figure out whether the guards sleep on the job at night. The answer? They do not. But they do shoot rats. Michael looks disturbed. Perhaps he joined PETA pre-Fox River.

Mahone, meanwhile, is picking up dirty cups from the ground. Oh, Sona doesn’t exactly look like a disorganized hell-hole, but if all the men drink from dirty cups they picked up off the ground then that place is crawling with bacterial infection. Mahone wants an update on the breakout plan but Michael, who’s finally learned to stand up for himself after two seasons of prison, running and then prison again, tells him to back away.

A new prisoner enters Sona. Is it just me, or does the new prisoner look like the Mexican version of Martin Short? I’m going to call him Mexican Martin until I find out his real name. Sammy (one of Lechero’s flunkies) gives Mexican Martin a friendly Sona welcome.

Linc is visiting Michael and Michael isn’t impressed that Lincoln gave up Whistler’s bird book to Susan. Lincoln continues to lie about Sara’s currently headless predicament. Michael announces that he’s going to be breaking out in the middle of the afternoon tomorrow. Ohhhh, I can tell this isn’t going to end well.

Mexican Martin awakens from his beating to find that he’s been stripped of all of his nice clothes. He also seems to recognize Whistler. I hope Mexican Martin turns out to be as funny as the real Martin Short.

Michael’s asking McGrady for a watch and binoculars. In order to procure the binoculars, Michael’s going to have to do some light thievery. Michael then explains the escape plan to Whistler. He also uses some chalk to draw a diagram of the escape plan on the floor. No, seriously. HE DRAWS THE ESCAPE PLAN ON THE FLOOR. Just in case any other prisoners might be interested in breaking out of Sona. *sigh* Michael, I get that you’re some kind of a genius, but seriously, have you learned nothing from the last two years? You’re leaving around too many clues. Whistler doesn’t seem too confident in Michael’s plan, which also includes using a soccer game as cover.

Lincoln and Sofia are bickering like an old married couple who don’t routinely break people out of prisons back at Lincoln’s hotel room. Susan calls and reminds Linc of the timeline. Susan’s making some notes on a piece of paper and she’s writing down times. I have no idea what this means. Susan reminds him that they’ve got 34 hours to break Whistler out.

Sucre’s cruising down the streets when he’s approached by some strange men in a black SUV. These men want Sucre to smuggle something into Sona and offer him money in return. Oh Sucre, are you going to become a drug mule? Is this what you’ve been reduced to? Yes, it is, because Sucre takes the package.

Bellick’s befriending Mexican Martin. He’s giving Mexican Martin a warning on how not to be a pompous ass and make enemies of everyone in Sona.

Michael and Whistler are prompting gay rumors galore by hanging a sheet in Michael’s cell so people can’t watch them spying on the guards, much like Sucre and Michael used to do in Fox River when Michael went into the walls. I wonder if Michael misses having Sucre for a cellmate. I know I miss Sucre being in on the action. We see that Michael has split the binoculars into two pieces, so both he and Whistler can spy on the guards. Michael also tells Whistler that Mahone’s in on the plan now, for reals.

Nun McHoochie, meanwhile, pays Lechero a visit.

Whistler and Mahone are spying on a guard when Whistler notices that the sun does blind the guard around 3:12 p.m. Mahone leaves to check on Michael and notices that Mexican Martin seems suspicious. Whistler’s describing the guard to Michael and Michael has an idea for distracting another guard, which includes disrupting his TV signal. Now that’s just mean. We also see that Mexican Martin was spying on the boys. I’m so disappointed. Mexican Martin hasn’t been even remotely funny yet. Mahone confronts Mexican Martin, trying to act all tough, and scare him off.

Linc and Sofia are taking a nice drive through the jungle. Their drive is cut short by the police who claim that they’re driving on a private road and make the unfortunate announcement that every road around Sona for 2 miles is closed. Oy, Michael is gonna be sooooo pissed. The cops let them off with a warning. Linc shows that he’s smarter than he looks and starts to come up with a Plan B.

Michael, meanwhile, is acting like a thief again, only this time he’s lifting a microwave. Unfortunately, he’s not a very good thief and the microwave has to remain for now.

Lincoln purchases some mysterious “supplies” in a blue cooler and tells Sofia they’re going to a beach.

Nun McHoochie tells Lechero that Augusto (Lechero’s cousin, maybe?) isn�t paying for Nun McHoochie’s services anymore. Lechero isn’t interested in paying for sex. But apparently he’s ok with having sex with hookers.

Sucre, the new drug mule, hides the mysterious package in with the food headed for Sona.

Whistler’s afraid that The Company is going to kill him when he gets out, or hands over whatever information it is that they want. Michael tells Whistler that their friendship ends the moment they’re over that wall and he really doesn’t care what happens to Whistler after that. I don’t blame, Michael. Look at what happened to all those other guys he befriended during the Fox River escape. Most of them ended up dead.

We see that the mysterious package has arrived in Sona, but no one seems to notice. T-Bag, meanwhile, continues in his roll of drug-pusher and tries to sell some stuff to Mahone. Sammy retrieves the mysterious package from the crate of food.

Michael and Whistler have managed to successfully steal the microwave while Mahone is tripping out on some drugs. While he’s staring dreamily out of the window he seems to notice something important and takes out his paper cup that he found earlier on the floor.

Michael’s giving Whistler a lesson on EMPs (electromagnetic pulse). Did you guys know that nuclear weapons also contain EMPs? So in addition to people dying horrible deaths, those bombs will also knock out all of the electrical power and machines. Just a little something I know. Looks like Michael is going to use the microwave as an EMP to knock out the TV in the guard tower. And it totally works. Michael’s binocular lens obviously gives off some sort of glare because when he turns back to look at the guard, the man is aiming a rifle at him and shoots.

Pandemonium erupts in Sona with word that the guards are coming in. Lechero orders T-Bag to protect Nun McHoochie and the two of them go off running. The rest of the prisoners assemble in the main quad on their knees. The colonel comes in, telling Lechero that the guard believes he saw a rifle pointed at him (which was just Michael’s binocular).

Linc and Sofia are taking a walk on the beach now. The two of them start digging in the sand. No, scratch that. Sofia takes a seat to sun herself while Linc is digging. Wow, she’s just like me. I too believe that all the heavy lifting and digging should be done by men. We have the babies, it’s a fair trade.

T-Bag is trying to reassure Nun McHoochie about her place is Lechero’s heart and the two narrowly avoid being detected by the guards who are searching the prison. The guards find Michael’s binocular and put a chain and lock to close up Michael’s cell. The guards start beating up guys to find out whose cell it is and Michael finally admits it’s his. Michael takes a beating and the guard aims at gun at his head, demanding to know why Michael was watching him.

The guard starts counting down from five in Spanish and Whistler speaks up, saying the binocular lens is his. He says that he was using the lens to watch birds and takes out the bird book to prove it. The guards buy this story and file out.

Michael runs back to his cell and is very upset to find it locked up. He starts desperately grabbing for the microwave that’s locked inside but can’t reach it.

Lechero goes back to retrieve Nun McHoochie, who’s in a rush to leave. We see that she’s lifted money from Lechero, but T-Bag steps in and says he gave her the money. Lechero doesn’t appreciate T-Bag’s interference and smacks him one good.

Whistler’s badgering Michael about the modified plan, but Michael wants to be alone with his genius brain to come up with Plan…what? C? F? M? How many plans has he had so far?

Lincoln shows Sofia what he bought at the dive shot earlier. Whatever it is, it’s their “getaway vehicle”, which Linc buries in the sand. I’m assuming its diving masks or something and they’re going to escape by going underwater. When they re-enter the jungle to leave the beach we see that they’re very close to Sona.

The drug guy pays Sucre, but thinks that since Sucre muled for him once, he’ll mule for him twice (and maybe more). Sucre starts to regret his decisions, but takes another package.

Mexican Martin approaches Whistler and says that he recognizes him from Nice, France in 1997. Whistler denies knowing him, but Mexican Martin says that Whistler was with an ambassador. Michael and Mahone look at Whistler suspiciously, but their need for a new plan gets in the way.

Mahone reveals what he noticed in his drug-induced haze: that the guard was drinking from the cup Mahone later found on the floor. The boys decide to go after the cup to get to the guard.

So, an update: Wentworth Miller did NOT show up at my apartment and declare his undying love for me, despite the fact that I heaped praise upon the characters and cast of Prison Break in last week’s recap. Well guess what, Wentworth? Two can play at that game. I’d like to introduce you to this week’s recap: “Call Waiting: The one where Clarissa heaps sarcasm and snarkiness on the characters and cast of Prison Break and it’s all Wentworth’s fault.” What’s that? I’m behaving like a petulant child? Yeah…..well…..you smell. SO THERE!

Lincoln’s looking through the bird book he stole off Whistler’s girlfriend last week. He sees various words like “stampede” in the book, as well as numbers. A man slips photos of LJ and Sara under the door. Then Sucre scares the crap out of him. Sucre looks like he’s been crying over the loss of Maricruz. This is normally the point where I’d say something mean, but I love Sucre too much. I can’t do it. Everyone else? Fair game. Sucre wants Westmoreland’s money. The two of them argue, and Sucre seems to not give a crap that Michael (who broke him out of prison) is back in jail. Linc seems to notice something about the photos.

We’re back at Sona Fight Club, where Michael’s toying with the bolts of Sona, much like when he got the bolt from the bleachers at Fox River to use as a key. Michael offers to help out around Sona in exchange for favors from Lechero. Again, not like that. Lechero seems to forget that Michael saved his dictator ass in the previous episode and is not interested in any “help” Michael can provide.

Michael goes to see Linc and takes the opportunity to survey the guards. Lincoln brings Michael up to speed about the bird book and Michael wishes that he had studied something useful in college, like birds, instead of stupid structural engineering. Linc also shows him the photo of Sara. What’s that, Michael? You sorry that Sara’s lost to you? I feel the same way about Wentworth, so don’t expect my sympathy. The boys notice Sara’s pointing at something in the paper: a town called Santa Rita. Michael’s desperate to talk to her. It’s been three days and he’s no closer to escape. Michael tells Linc he needs to get off his non-being-in-jail ass and save Sara and LJ if Michael can’t perform another prison break.

Whistler’s behaving like the anti-Sucre and wants to know why he should trust Michael. Michael wishes he had his cellmate from season 1 back and asks McGrady about a phone. Linc’s also asking Susan about setting up a call between Sara and Michael, but she’s not down with that. Back in Sona, Michael realizes that the only person who has a phone is Lechero.

Lechero’s unhappy with his business dealings on the outside. I don’t know more than that and I actually care very little about it. Meanwhile, Whistler and Sofia are reunited, separated only by a barb-wire fence and surrounded by lots of men with guns. Whistler asks about the book, but Sofia says Scofield’s brother has it. Whistler says the book only has phone numbers in it, but Sofia doesn’t buy it. As she goes to sign out at the guard station, she finds Michael’s name, Lincoln’s name and Lincoln’s hotel.

Back inside, Michael’s trying to score some drugs. I like where this is going. One of Lechero’s men tells him where to score. Mahone’s managed to find the place on his own and is realizing that withdrawal is not a nice place to be. Meanwhile, Michael is eying Lechero and his cell phone and flipping out over Sara’s photo.

Michael threatens to tell the good Catholic folks of Sona what kind of perv T-Bag is unless he hooks him up with Lechero’s phone. I’ve always loved the hypocrisy of prisoners who kill people but then beat up on guys who molest children. It’s all crimes, people.

Whistler’s confronting Michael about his klepto brother, but Michael isn’t swayed. Michael tells him the only reason he’s going to bust Whistler out is to save Sara and he should just shut the hell up and STOP WITH THE PRESSURE!

There’s a conversation between Lechero and his cousin about Lechero’s outside business. *sigh* I DON’T CARE. Lechero’s obviously fake accent is bothering me. Meanwhile, we see that T-Bag unplugged Lechero’s phone and allowed it to die.

Mahone’s being visited by his lawyer. He tells him he’s got a trial date for next year. Oh yes, here’s the wonders of the legal system I know and love. Mahone says that Michael is willing to testify for him (huh, we’ll see about that), but the lawyer tells him the courts don’t care for prisoners who testify on behalf of other prisoners.

T-Bag sends Lechero off to his barber appointment but leaves his cell charging. Meanwhile, T-Bag snags the phone and brings it to Michael. We see Sofia is following Linc, who’s talking with Michael. Bellick’s trying to make friends with a drag queen that he pissed off earlier. This is all completely unimportant. Wow, he’s trying to flirt. It’s hurting my brain, it’s so awful.

Sara finally calls Michael and he tries to set up a code with her. She tries to send him some sort of message, saying that “it’s a lost cause” and “maybe he just needs more time”. Michael’s trying to relay the code back to Linc and says it’s up to him to solve it. Before last week I would have written off LJ and Sara but Lincoln is proving that he might have some brains after all. Michael manages to put the phone back in the nick of time. Lerchero notices that his phone wasn’t put back in the charger properly and he calls the last number dialed, but Lincoln doesn’t say anything. Lechero is suspicious.

Sofia tires to threaten Linc with a knife, but he quickly puts an end to that nonsense. No guy with pecs like those will be threatened by a silly knife. Linc takes off in a cab, trying to figure out the code.

Back in Sona, Whistler’s trying to make friends with Mahone, who spent all of last episode trying to kill him. Oh yes, this makes total sense. Whistler recognizes Mahone as the FBI agent who was chasing Scofield and tries to press Mahone for info on Michael. Mahone whines that Michael will screw the people he doesn’t care about. You know, because Mahone’s a bloody freaking saint.

Linc’s trying to use the cabbie to figure out the code and gets let off in the red light district. Naturally, the women are all over his pecs. Sara spies Linc and breaks the glass of her window just as Linc’s starting to piece together the clue.

Linc goes running into the house while LJ and Sara are dragged out into a van. Ohhh, he looks totally murderous as he realizes he’s lost them. Susan gets a call about the failed rescue attempt and looks ticked off.

Linc’s visiting Michael again, telling him about his spectacular failure. He really should have planned it better. He’s telling Michael “we can do this”. I fail to see the Lincoln part of this “we” yet. So unless Linc’s going to pull a Scofield and get himself locked up too, he’s not doing much right now. In fact, he had one damn job to do and he screwed it up royally.

Michael’s back at his cell, surveying the guards and replaying the failed escape attempt of Bellick’s friend in his mind. Whistler wants to talk and mentions Sofia, saying she’s the reason he’s here. Whistler doesn’t know who The Company is.

Whistler starts telling his story: he was running a fishing charter business. He took out some guy who was taking water samples. He then gets a call from some people wanting to know where Whistler took that guy. He said he couldn’t remember and some government-type people start sniffing around. Meanwhile, he got spooked and moves to Panama to be with Sofia. He then gets into the bar fight where he kills the mayor’s son and gets thrown into Sona. The government-type people show up again and say they want to get him out if he’ll take them to the place he took the water sample guy. The bird book is like a log and he needs it to get back to that place. This is such a weird and complicated story. What drugs were the writers smoking when they came up with this? I want me some. Might make work more tolerable. Michael notices that the only people getting out of Sona are the dead bodies. Oh yes! Capital plan! Just get yourself killed and you’ll be out! Genius.

T-Bag decides to go back to doing what he does best: acting like a complete jackass. In an attempt to destroy Lechero’s other flunkies, who have been making fun of him, he tries to stir shit. Lechero looks disbelieving, but willing to listen, and asks T-Bag to spy for him.

Mahone’s trying to unnerve Michael again and comes out of his withdrawal for long enough to realize that Michael’s skills might be useful to The Company.

Michael spies a man outside who’s digging a grave for one of the recently-deceased fight club victims. Linc returns to his hotel to find Sucre passed out from too much booze. Susan calls Linc to threaten him and sends him to find a present she left for him. Oh god, it’s Sara’s body isn’t it? This is now they’re going to get rid of her character.

Ok, it’s a small box. Linc bends down to open it and we only see a flash of what’s inside. I can’t make it out, but Linc looks horrified. I even played it on slow-mo on my DVR and I can’t figure it out. Many of you will probably say that it’s supposed to be Sara’s head in the box. You may very well be correct. There’s been much speculation that she’s not returning, but everyone’s been keeping it under wraps. If that’s true, I’m pissed. What utter pointlessness to keep her going all through season 2 only to kill her now.

Ok, let’s not jump to conclusions. Maybe they’re just using this whole “Sara’s head” thing to scare us. Maybe it’s something else. Maybe…..

Well I hate to say this but I just was not impressed with the Prison Break episode last night. After all the hype on Fox, it just wasn’t what I expected the first show of the new season to be. Anyone else share these thoughts?

Anyways, let me recap the episode for those who missed it.

A woman known as Susan B. Anthony does her make-up before a vanity, and uses the make-up to cover deep scratches on her face.

Michael stands among a screaming crowd in the yard of Sona. Two men size each other up in a circle of prisoners.

Lincoln begs a clerk at the American Embassy to get Michael out of Sona. The clerk tells Lincoln that “the worst of the worst” are inside Sona. The prisoners rioted so badly, that the guards pulled out and left the prisoners to fend for themselves. The man looks Lincoln in they eyes, “Whatever goes in…never comes out. Unless it’s dead.”

Michael watches in horror as the two men fight until one man finally snaps the other man’s neck.

The next morning, Lincoln stands in the office of the American Consul. The Consul is on the phone trying to get Michael out of Sona. The Consul tells Lincoln that Michael’s case looks like Michael will walk away an innocent man and he’ll be transferred to another facility in forty-eight hours.

Michael sees Bellick, stripped of his clothes and beaten, walking across the yard. Bellick asks some inmates for water and they point him to a mud puddle. They shove Bellick down, and kick the muddy water in his face. When the inmates leave, a scrawny prisoner named Sapo, also only nearly naked, helps Bellick to his feet.

Mahone sits alone, his hands shaking. He reaches into his jacket to remove his pen. After unscrewing the top, he finds he’s out of pills. Michael walks in and Mahone springs up to meet him. Mahone demands that Michael helps him when his court date comes. Michael refuses to help and wants to know why The Company wanted him in a Panamanian prison. Mahone doesn’t know anything, he was just following orders. Mahone pleads with Michael to work together. Michael tells Mahone he won’t help him, because every time he looks at Mahone, he sees the man that killed his father.

A woman stands outside the Sona, screaming and demanding that the prisoners send out the dead. Lincoln enters a guard shack. The guards call for Michael to come to visitation, which is a chain link cage extending out from Sona. The brothers meet again and try to make light of the situation. Lincoln tells Michael to hold on another day, and that he does not know where Sarah is. Lincoln walks away, promising to see Michael tomorrow.

Back in Sona, a young inmate named McGrady runs up to Michael asking about basketball. McGrady runs off when a group of thugs approaches Michael and tell him it is time for orientation. The leader, Sammy, flashes a knife and Michael follows.

Michael, Mahone and several other inmates are led into Lechero’s den. Lechero is the man who controls Sona. Lechero recognizes Michael and Mahone from the news. Michael says he won’t make waves. Lechero tells them that if there is conflict, the men must settle it in the yard in a fight to the death. Another inmate at the end of the line loses control of his bladder. Lechero strikes the man and beats him. Michael barks out, “I think he gets the message!” Lechero tries to intimidate Michael, but it doesn’t work. Lechero angrily dismisses the inmates.

Lincoln talks to a Constable inside a police station. He hands the Constable a photo of Sarah, asking the man to call Lincoln if anyone matching her description shows up.

Bellick sees Sapo wearing shoes. They belong to the dead man who lost the fight the night before. Sammy shouts at Bellick and Sapo that they need to start earning their rent. He hands them some plastic parkas and leads them to the prison toilet. Sapo and Bellick protest the job, but Sammy doesn’t care. He tells them to clean it and burn it in the sewers when they’re done.

Lechero looks down at Michael from the second tier. He makes eye contact with another inmate and nods towards Michael. The inmate nods back. Another one of Lechero’s men tells Lechero another American arrived and, “He’s got this hand…”

Michael looks across the yard as T-Bag enters and makes eye contact. From above, Mahone looks down and sees T-Bag. Over the loud speakers, the guards call for Michael to go to visitation.

Michael meets a man who introduces himself as Elliott Pike. Pike tells Michael, “I got a lot of big guns behind me, Mr. Scofield. People you might want to have in your corner should you ever decide, say, to break out of here.” Michael knows who Pike is working for and walks away uninterested in the offer.

Michael stands in his cell and looks around. Another inmate storms in, demanding his “stash.” He grabs Michael around the neck, but is pulled off by Lechero. Lechero orders Michael and his bed be checked for the other man’s drugs. They find a bag under Michael’s bed, clearly a set up. The inmate tells Michael they’re not through.

The Constable phones Lincoln. They found a woman matching Sarah’s description. She’s at the morgue.

Bellick and Sapo stop and beg a cook for some pieces of chicken. The man smugly hands Sapo and clean bone. Sapo begins to panic about starving to death. Bellick asks him to hang in there and walks away. Sapo pulls some wire from a cell window, and climbs up.

T-Bag finds Michael and asks him why the government would want him in Sona. Before Michael answers, the inmates cry out, “RUNNER!” They flood to the windows to see Sapo shuffling across the no-man’s land. The guards in the towers tell him to stop, but he keeps moving. Bellick screams out as machine gun fire cuts Sapo down.

Michael tries to deal with what he’s just seen and heads to his cell. On his bed is Lechero’s chicken foot. He has been challenged to a fight.

Lincoln walks with the Constable and looks at the body. The Constable pulls back the sheet, and Lincoln pauses. “It’s not her.”

Sammy leads Michael to Lechero, who enjoys seeing Michael holding the chicken foot. Michael tries to argue his case, but Lechero reminds Michael that the fight is Sona’s way of keeping justice. Michael tries to get Lechero to admit that he set up the fight. Lechero doesn’t blink.

Deep below the prison, in the sewers, someone is listening to Lechero’s conversation.

Bellick wades through the sewer with a bucket of bathroom sludge. The person who was listening to Lechero whistles to Bellick. He asks Bellick to do him a favor and promises to feed Bellick. The man hands meat through a small crack. Bellick pops the piece in his mouth and chews, and then asks where the man found chicken. After a pause, the raspy voice replies, “That’s not chicken.” Bellick doesn’t care and takes more. In exchange, the man hands Bellick two pieces of paper.

Lincoln answers his phone, it’s LJ. LJ says he’s in Panama and got Lincoln’s cell phone number from the Consulate. LJ tells Lincoln to meet him and Sarah in a restaurant.

The inmates gather and cheer in the yard. It’s time for the fight. T-Bag watches Lechero closely. Another inmate bumps into Lechero and spills soda on his shoes. T-Bag seizes his moment. He approaches Lechero and offers to clean the soda off Lechero’s shoes. Lechero appreciates T-Bag’s subservient manner.

Mahone stands outside Michael’s cell and tells Michael to attack the man’s knee cap. Mahone tells Michael to survive because he is Mahone’s, “get out jail free card.”

Bellick pushes through the crowd and bumps into Michael, slipping one of the pieces of paper into Michael’s back pocket. Bellick crosses the yard and does the same to Michael’s foe.

Lechero barks that the only rule is “no weapons,” then calls for the men to fight.

Michael shouts that he won’t fight. When the inmate looks up to Lechero, Michael attacks the man’s knee. The man buckles under the kick, allowing Michael the advantage. The inmates cheer for Michael to finish the fight. When he tires to leave the circle, they shove him back in. The inmate stands and lands a few punches, but Michael quickly knocks him back down. Someone tosses a blade into the ring. Mahone sees this and steps forward. The fallen inmate grabs the blade and stands, and then lunges at Michael. Mahone blocks the man’s arm, and then snaps the man’s neck. Mahone quickly shouts out, “Rules are rules, remember!?” The crowd breaks up, Lechero walks away frustrated.

Lincoln enters the restaurant looking for LJ and Sarah. Susan B. Anthony sits behind him, flirts with him a little. As Lincoln walks away, she calls him by his name. “We have a lot to discuss.” Lincoln slowly sits. There is anger on his face. She tells him that he needs to talk to Michael.

A military vehicle collects the dead from inside Sona, and Sapo’s body in no-man’s land. A guard shoots the bodies to make sure they’re dead.

The screaming woman from Lincoln’s first visit looks over the bodies. When the coast is clear, she checks their pockets. She finds the second note that Bellick left. It reads:

Versailles
1989
V. Madrid

Michael waits in visitation and finds the other note. Lincoln walks to the fence and tells Michael “There are some people who want you to break someone out of here.” Michael shakes his head, he can’t do that again. Lincoln continues, “His name’s James Whistler.” Lincoln shows Michael video on a handheld device. It’s video of Sarah and LJ, holding current newspapers and begging for help. Lincoln tells Michael he has a week to find Whistler and break out of Sona. Otherwise, Sarah and LJ are dead.

www.fox.com

So Michael and Lincoln manage to make it to the ship and sail away to Panama, but Dr. Sara is apprehended before she can join them. Mahone is peeved because he only nabs one out of three fugitives. Those of us who are overly invested in the Michael/Sara relationship, perhaps for reasons we do not care to discuss because we think you just wouldn’t understand, are peeved because…those two, like ships that pass in the night. Why must Terrence Steadman be the most romantically successful on this show?

Anyway, then we get the credits and the episode kicks off in earnest. Mahone’s office is now a real-space analogue to the timeline threads in the forums, or perhaps Kevin Spacey’s bedroom in Se7en.

Internal Affairs leans on C-Note, but he brings his A-game, reminding them that the last time an agent offered him a deal, there was a string attached. So the agents buckle and agree to check a free C-Note into the witness protection program, provided he testifies against Mahone. Score one for C-Note.

Meanwhile, Sucre and Bellick make the least fun road trip duo since Charlie Sheen and Kristy Swanson. Bellick is threatening Sucre with Maricruz’s life, and since we all know how Sucre feels about Maricruz…anyway, the two of them go tearing around Mexico looking for T-Bag and sparking international incidents wherever they alight.

As for T-Bag, he’s busy using Westmoreland’s money to pay Mexican hookers to playact in his vivid fantasy life. And since T-Bag is a homicidal pervert with good ol’ fashioned values, what he fantasizes about…is family life with Susan. Then T-Bag may have killed the hooker, but I was in the shower, scrubbing frantically and screaming, “Unclean! I feel so unclean!” after the initial scene, it was hard to see anything.

Then the brothers are touring through beautiful Panama, and that lasts for about all of ten minutes before they rumble in the jungle. Linc thinks Michael’s just sulking over Dr. Sara. Michael’s sulking over the trail of bodies his actions have created plus Dr. Sara currently being in the FBI’s custody.

And running throughout this episode is The Passion of the Mahone, wherein he’s about to let Wheeler bring him in because it’s the right thing to do, until Agent Kim comes in and dangles the prospect of the One World Conspiracy making it allllll better. All Mahone has to do in exchange? Head to Panama and bring back T-Bag alive. And if he happens to run into the brothers, so much the better.

We start off in C-Note’s cell. He’s going, going, but not gone ‘cuz a guard spies him and gets him down.

Owen’s checking his rifle and scope and getting updates on Pres Patricia’s arrival time via the earpiece he snatched from the agent he offed.

Hotel. As Commander Confused Mahone races up the stairwell, the Beatles thank Green and send him on his way. The brothers figure they’ll need an “out” if this doesn’t work so Linc decides to contact Derek, an old friend who owes him. Michael sets a time and place to meet with Doc after his adventure. Before he departs he says, “If anything happens, I love you both.” Linc follows his brother out.

Mahone arrives on the Beatles’ floor and gets a key from a maid. He opens the door, which Doc hears so she hides. Mahone checks out the room and deduces that someone’s under the bed. He leaves, Doc crawls out from her hiding spot and Mahone barges in, gun drawn.

Mahone and Doc argue. She says it’s over between her and the hot man called Scofield, but Mahone’s not buying it.

Mexico. T-Bag lands and heads to baggage claim. Before he can retrieve his bag full ‘o cash, he spots Bellick. So T-Bag goes in the back and attempts to grab the bag as it comes around. A baggage handler sees him and they tussle. T-Bag gets the upper hand and lays the guy out on the carousel, which carries him around to the front so T-Bag has to split.

C-Note’s in the infirmary where he begs a guard to let him use the phone. He calls Posse Central and Lang answers. Agent R-HM#2 takes it and C gives him a message for Mahone: he’ll do it, he just needs more time and please don’t hurt his family. Agent R-HM#2’s suspicions are aroused.

Chicago. Linc arrives at the docks and meets up with Derek. Linc calls in his favor and hands Derek a piece of paper, saying he needs it, like yesterday.

Owen’s still on the roof, watching the motorcade approach. Pres Patricia de-limos, but Owen can’t get a clear shot. Michael’s in the crowd and hands Pres Patricia a slip of paper, causing agents to tackle him. Pres Patricia reads the paper, “We have the tape.”

Michael’s led down a hall with his head covered. He’s uncovered and cuffed to a chair. SAM appears and dismisses the agents. Michael demands to speak with Pres Patricia, but SAM doesn’t care and demands Linc’s whereabouts. Shockingly, Michael doesn’t disclose his brother’s location. So SAM removes his suit jacket as he blah blahs and tries to be menacing. Michael looks as if he couldn’t care less. Then Thwap! SAM beats the hell outta Michael and for a little guy, he sure packs a wallop.

Mexico. Sucre and Maricruz are watching the news (Maricruz doesn’t speak Spanish, FYI) and a grainy pic of T-Bag pops up on the screen. The baggage handler details his encounter with the psycho and Sucre wonders why T-Bag was attacking people in baggage claim. Lightbulb! Sucre figures T-Bag lost the money.

Hotel. Doc picks up on Mahone’s junkie symptoms. Mahone looks like shit, by the way. He tosses her one of his Pen Pills and she reads it, saying it’s a “hard-core tranquilizer” and “It must feel like you’re walking under water.” “I do. It’s very quiet down here.” Woah, crazy dude at twelve o’clock!

Back to Michael, spitting blood. Yum. He still won’t say anything so SAM pulls his gun. Sidenote: SAM looks positively wee when he’s handling his firearm. Pres Patricia marches in and says she needs to speak with Michael, along. And we go to commercials.

When we get back, Pres Patricia tells SAM to get. “The things you do for your brother, it’s impressive,” Pres Patricia begins. “I could say the same for you, but I won’t,” Michael responds. Considering what we’re about to discover in a few minutes, that line could be taken several different ways. Michael brings up the recording, but Pres Patricia says she spoke with her brother many times. Michael narrows it down for her: the conversation took place after Steadman’s “death” and is something Michael’s sure she’d want to keep “in the family.” Pres Patricia stops cold at that. She asks Michael if he has it. Nope, it’s with Linc and they’ve made twenty copies. He says she can call Linc and he’ll play it for her. She doesn’t want it to go out over the phone, but Michael says it’s the phone or the news.

Doc and Mahone continue to chat.

Sucre returns home to find that Bellick has invaded his aunt’s house (the women are outside, unaware).

Pres Patricia calls Linc and he plays the recording and gasp! we actually get to hear it. Pres Patricia flashes back to the actual call and Jeff Perry reprises his role. It’s pretty much NuSteadman whining. He’s lonely and misses her. It was a incest kinda missing. EWWW!

The suspicious R-HM#2 visits C-Note and says, “If you give me Mahone, I’ll give you your life back.”

South of the border, Bellick’s leading Sucre away in cuffs. The shovelheaded one brags that he’s gonna get a hundred K for Sucre’s butt. Sucre pipes up that he knows where Bellick can get five million. “T-Bag’s in town.”

Pres Patricia is talking about how she’s a pawn, just like the brothers. Finally, she cuts to the chase and asks what they want. For starters, Michael wants her to uncuff him. She agrees. He wants to be able to walk away, no surveillance. She’s on board. Oh yeah, he also wants a couple of pardons for him and his brother. Pres Patricia’s all, “You gotta be shittin’ me!” Oh he’s serious Pres Patricia, he’s never not serious. Ah, the curse of being a genius. Anyway, she sputters, but Michael talks right over her. He says she’ll receive a document which she is to sign and send to the Attorney General’s office. And, ‘cuz Michael knows all about paperwork getting lost, he wants her to announce the pardons on live tv, right now. She sputters again, saying she can’t just do that, people will ask questions. “Pardon! On stage! Now!” Michael spits and man! is it ever hot! Pres Patricia leaves Michael and tells SAM that she’s letting him go and giving the brothers a pardon. SAM’s pissed and throws a hissy fit. She smacks him down: “I am the Commander-in-Chief and you are a corporate lackey.” Awesome! SAM can do nothing but stand by as Michael is released.

Derek brings Linc “three tickets, one cabin, one way.” Also: beer.

Michael’s at Third and Racine, but no Doc.

Hotel. Mahone sets down his gun as he goes to pop another Pill. Doc’s phone rings and he tells her to pick it up. She refuses. So he grabs for it and Doc swipes the gun. She gets her phone and gets out. After she leaves, Mahone calls Lang, whom he texted earlier with the details of his situation. She begins to tail Doc.

So SAM, doing his best imitation of a sniveling five-year-old, runs to SOG to tattle on Pres Patricia. SOG hands him a file: “SONA.” Nope, no clue.

Michael calls Doc with the good news and gives her a new location. He goes to Linc and greets Big Brother with “We did it.” The boys open the brew and Linc reports that Derek got them a cabin on a freighter headed to South America, via the Great Lakes. Michael says they won’t need that now. Don’t speak too soon, Michael, it’s not the finale yet. Aw, they’re so happy. I have a feeling their elation will be short-lived. Michael switches on the tv.

Cut to Pres Patricia pacing. SAM invades her personal space and threatens, “We know your secrets too.”

As Owen and the brothers watch, and Doc listens, Pres Patricia takes the stage and rambles. She leads up to the “very important announcement” that she has cancer, therefore she’ll be stepping down, immediately.

Linc tosses his beer while Michael just sits there, shell-shocked. Little Brother says there’s only one thing left, “We gotta disappear. Forever.”

The Beatles are still listening to the recording and Doc sums up everyone’s opinion with an, “Oh my God!”

Posse Central. Ranger Rabid Mahone’s giving a rundown on the Escapees. Lang brings up Sucre and says he was spotted in Mexico. Bellick shows up, which pleases Mahone about as well as you’d expect. They head to Mahone’s office where Bellick bitches that he hasn’t gotten the reward for Haywire yet and Mahone reminds Bellick that he’s suppossed to be operating “under the radar.” Bellick is his usual ass self and doesn’t care. So Mahone awesomely lays down the law and says Bellick will get the reward money, but if he ever sets foot in Mahone’s office again, he’ll be pushing up daisies. Bellick backs down. Mahone brings up Mexico.

Back to the Beatles. Linc thinks the government will try to discredit the recording if they go public with it. Michael says they need to give it to someone within the government whom they trust. Yeah, that’s a giant list right there. Linc immediately suggests Jane (the blonde chick who’s looking after L.J.). “This is our last shot,” Michael says. Really? Haven’t you guys had, like, a hundred last shots?

Cut to Owen, purchasing a huge-ass rifle and scope. He pays the seller with a bullet to the chest. Bad Owen!

Mahone and C-Note are checking the europeangoldfinch message board and Michael hasn’t checked in, despite C-Note leaving him three messages. Mahone thinks C’s yanking his chain but C assures him that Michael will eventually respond.

Wisconsin. L.J. answers a call from his old man and they catch up. L.J. reports that he’s back in school (under a false name of course) and he’s happy. Linc takes this in and asks to speak with Jane.

Alabama. T-Bag visits a shrink.

More Beatles love. Linc gets off the phone and says Jane gave him the name of an old Silver Fox ally: Cooper Green, former Deputy Attorney General. So they call Green’s office and say they’re the sons of Aldo Burrows. The secretary transfers their call to some dude in a spendy suit. Green already knows about the recording, so Michael tells him to meet him in a park in an hour. He instructs Green to wear a blue suit with red tie. The brothers head out as Doc heads to…

The cemetery, to visit her dad’s grave. Bruce (remember him?) shows up and proclaims his innocence regarding the whole trying-to-kill-Doc-ordeal. He says his line was tapped and he had nothing to do with GJH’s murder. Doc begins to soften.

Fox River. Bellick visits HIC and offers him a transfer to a cushy minimum security facility if HIC spills about Mexico.

So we head to Mexico. Sucre and Maricruz make it to his aunt’s farm.

T-Bag’s chatting with the shrink and brings up the fact that they resemble one another a bit. The shrink agrees and is “So…?” T-Bag answers by braining the poor guy with a statue.

Green’s at the park when a pay phone rings. It’s Linc. He instructs Green to put his spendy suit jacket in the trash. Green complies. Then Linc tells him to go to the fountain on the other side of the park. Green hustles. As he runs, Linc spots a couple of dudes tailing him. Linc calls Michael and reports this. Green makes it to the fountain (barely) and answers another phone. This time Linc tells him to get in the fountain. Heh. Green, once again, complies. One of the tails exposits that this is to drown any mics they may have planted on Green. Once the sopping wet Green exits the fountain, a kid hands him a cell phone. Linc calls and tells him to go into the museum.

The always smug SAM phones Mahone and informs him that the brothers are in Chicago. He brings up C-Note and says he’s no longer needed. Mahone is to bring about “a death with no questions.”

So Mahone meets with C-Note and says they’re closing in on Michael. He also says he’ll keep his end of the deal (ie dropping charges against Kacie and getting Dede medical attention) as long as C-Note does something for him. He’ll be sending C a package and he wants him to “use it.”

Museum. Linc directs Green to the basement as Bruce and a now thawed Doc arrive at Green’s office and gasp! it’s a totally different guy! Doc asks the real Green where the brothers are, but he is rightly confused. Doc frantically tries to reach Linc. She gets through and tells him that Little Brother is in big trouble.

Linc Runs! while Michael chats with Not Green. Michael asks a series of questions, which Not Green answers. Then Not Green says they need to go back to his car. Michael refuses, but Not Green says he’s asthmatic and his inhaler is in his jacket, which Linc made him throw away. Duh! If someone who normally carries their inhaler in their jacket was told to put down said jacket, they would most likely remove the inhaler and put it in their pants or something. Michael’s a smart boy, I’m sure he’ll figure it out. Anyhoo, he agrees to accompany Not Green to his car. Once outside Michael asks Not Green what kind of medicine he uses in his inhaler. Not Green is sick of all the questions, but relents and answers. It must’ve been the wrong answers, ‘cuz Michael takes Not Green out.

Alabama airport. T-Bag’s booking a flight to Bangkok. The ticket agent informs him that there’ll be connecting flights, including one in Chicago. T-Bag’s fine with that as long as he can leave right away. He’s unhappy to learn that his bag ‘o cash is over the weight limit for a carry-on so he has to check it.

Owen’s in his car listening to Pres Patricia’s appearance schedule on the radio. He then visits his sister. He tells her he’s going to do a horrible thing and he wants her to remember the brother he was while they were growing up.

Mahone’s at the park and calls SAM to let him know that the brothers got away. Again. Mahone asks why they wanted to contact someone from the Attorney General’s office and correctly guesses that Linc’s innocent. SAM’s all, “Yeah?”

Back at the hotel, Michael and Linc regroup. Michael figures it was the secretary who’s working for Them. A knock at the door is answered by Michael. It’s Doc, along with the real Green.

C-Note receives the package and reluctantly opens it to reveal a…noose. Dun!

Sucre and Maricruz plan for the future.

Bellick hops on a plane and gripes that they have no food. Guess who’s having a fine time in first class? Yep, T-Bag.

Kacie visits C-Note and says Dede’s responding to the treatment. What C says in this scene isn’t really important, it’s the fact that he’s trying to say goodbye that’s making me tear up. Man, Rockmond Dunbar acts the hell out of this. Sniff.

At a rally for Pres Patricia, Owen takes out an agent on a rooftop.

Mahone’s still at the park when he figures out that the brothers are in the hotel across the way.

Inside said hotel the Beatles get some bad news: Green says the date stamp on the recording is from when the recording was made, not when the actual conversation was recorded. It can’t be authenticated, therefore it’s legally useless. Linc’s pissed.

Mahone enters the hotel and flashes pics of the brothers. The receptionist hasn’t seen them. Then he shows her a pic of Doc, whom the receptionist recognizes. She gives him the room number.

Michael’s returned to Denialand and says, “It’s not over.” Linc doesn’t want to hear it, but Green pipes up that the recording may not help in a courtroom, but “outside the law”… Seems the recording (which we have yet to hear) isn’t just a conversation between siblings. Pres Patricia did something and she’s up to her ass in guilt. I’m assuming it’s something besides faking her brother’s murder and framing an innocent man for it. “So we blackmail her,” Michael says, catching on. Green: “I’m an officer of the court, I didnt’ say that.” Heh. But he’s totally, “Hell yeah!” Doc asks what they’d blackmail Pres Patricia for. “A presidential pardon,” Michael answers. Linc finds this rather twisted and vaguely amusing: “The woman that set me up is gonna set me free.”

Owen’s still on that roof, prepping his gun.

Sob. C-Note’s in his cell, prepping his noose. Sniffle. Aw man, it looks like he’s really gonna do it. “I love you,” he says before he steps off his bunk…

Previously Doc and Michael were entering the cigar club. They poke around, but Doc is recognized so they split.

Minneapolis. Private Perturbed Mahone lands and calls his positively adorable son, Cameron, who’s still in the hospital, but recuperating. They chat and Mahone’s phone rudely beep beeps ‘cuz Lang is on the line. She informs her boss that C-Note has been id’d from the diner. She also says that Dede’s been sick a lot so she’s checking into local hospitals in southeast Minnesota, my own backyard.

Michael and Doc get back to the other half of the PBCT. Michaels shares the information that Pope is also a member of the club so…

We head to Pope’s house. The man himself answers the door to find Doc, who asks for a moment of his time. Pope’s all, “Nuh huh, lady,” and is so not pleased when a brooding Michael pops in as well. I sure wouldn’t mind, God Miller looks hot.

Credits.

Pope’s pissed. Michael used him and blah blah. Doc brings up GJH’s murder and shows Pope the key.

Alabama. T-Bag and his hostages are still on the road. They pull up outside a shitty rundown house, T-Bag’s old home.

Mexico. Sucre’s still in his stolen car when it either breaks down or runs out of gas, no se. A guy pulls over and offers Sucre a ride. Sucre says his girl’s coming in on a flight and the guy is all, “What a coincidence! It just so happens I’m airport security and we’re expecting an American fugitive.” Sucre sits back and revels in the awkward.

Mpls. C-Note brings Dede to a hospital.

Pope’s house or shall I refer to it as The Vatican? Pope’s still pissed. Get over it already, dude. He won’t listen to the fugitives and says he’s gonna call the authorities. Michael’s all, “I don’t think so,” as he pulls a gun. “I don’t want to hurt you, Henry.” “Said by the man with the gun,” Pope shoots back. Michael babbles about Linc’s innocence. Pope’s not having it and points out that Michael’s not going to convince him of anything by holding a gun on him. So Michael sets the gun on the counter.

C-Note can’t get someone to look at Dede so they leave. And who should arrive just as they are exiting? Why it’s the lunatic with the federal badge (no, not Bellick and where has he gotten off to?). Mahone gives chase and corners C-Note and Dede as they board a bus. Mahone orders C to put his little girl down, but she won’t let go. As the bus doors close, Mahone warns C, “Don’t let her pay for your mistakes.”

The Vatican. Pope’s still not on board, so Michael offers him a deal, which we don’t get to hear.

Vomit, Southern style. T-Bag finds a ratty old dictionary and flashes back to his glorious childhood. His father/uncle made him memorize the dictionary (which explains why he’s so wordy) and show off his knowledge for his friends. Then he molested him as a reward. Ew! Ew! Ew! God, that scene was so creepy, vile, disturbing…actually I could use T-Bag’s skills with synonyms.

Owen and Linc chat on a rooftop overlooking the cigar club. Linc can’t get over the fact that Owen spent all of last season and the better part of the current season trying to kill him. Owen gives his standard response, “Just following orders.” So Linc brings up Pres Patricia. He recalls that NuSteadman said that Owen was in love with her. Owen dismisses this, “You don’t love someone that loves power more than life.” “Bitter, huh?” Linc asks. “Am I?” Linc’s response is all eyebrows and smirks and it’s hilarious. Anyhoo, Owen changes the subject, saying there’s no way they’re gonna survive this. Linc channels Michael when he says he has faith that they’ll make it. Owen’s Buddy Bringdown and says sooner or later They will get to them, but he plans on taking as many down as he can. “She must’ve really broken your heart, Paul.” Heh.

SAM’s sitting around being all smarmy and teeny and generally evil. He gets the news that Doc was spotted at the cigar club so he orders a jet to Chicago. Going out in the field again, SAM? We know you hate that.

Mexico. Sucre and the security guard arrive at the airport and part ways. Another security dude shows the first guy Sucre’s pic and he’s all, “Oh shit! I gave that guy a ride here!” They hustle us to commercials.

After said commercials, Sucre runs up to MariCruz and they smooch. It’s sweet. Sucre tells her, “I got three words for you.” “Yeah?” “We gotta run!” Heh. So they do.

Cigar club. Doc hands Pope the key and he heads into the club. Michael and Doc cutely banter in the car while Owen and Linc keep watch on the roof. Inside Pope retrieves the recording and asks to borrow a guy’s computer.

Alabama. T-Bag shares with SM that he “can’t procreate.” His words. He says that’s a good thing, ‘cuz it’ll mean the end of the Bagwells. He sees Zach and Gracie as his “salvation.” Barf. He asks SM if she could ever learn to love him and her answer is negative. And we all know how well T-Bag handles rejection.

C-Note brings Dede to a shabby clinic and offers the lazy ass doctor four hundred bucks to take a look at his daughter. He informs the doctor that she has a kidney disease. Well, that’s one question answered.

Linc and Michael converse via cell as Pope exits the club. Gah! SAM shows up! He tries to be menacing, but considering the fact that he’s all of two feet tall and has to crane his neck to look Pope in the face, he’s really not. SAM orders Pope to empty his pockets and Pope resists the urge to bitch-slap the little gnat, but SAM’s cohort shows off his gun (dirty!) to show he means business. Everyone sees that Pope’s in trouble, so Michael guns the car right into SAM. Awesome! Then Linc barrels up, boots SAM (Go Linc!) and punches the snot outta him. He turns and calmly walks back to the car as Owen shoots SAM’s cohort. Owen hustles to the car, but what’s this? It appears that my BFF has gone and locked the doors. Hee! The brothers and Doc speed away, leaving Owen standing on the sidewalk, reliving his high school memories of being excluded by the in-crowd. He spares a glance at a bloodied SAM then takes off.

Alabama. The cops show up and find SM and the kids locked in the cellar. They say they got a call about a hostage situation, but SM points out that no one knew where they were. Cut to a shot of T-Bag sobbing by the side of the road.

No good news for C-Note, I’m afraid. Dede’s in renal failure and needs dialysis. They can’t do that at the clinic, but what they can do is shove a big ass needle in her throat to prep her for treatment somewhere else. C balks. He grabs Dede and leaves.

The PBCT, currently minus one of its founding members, (kinda like when John left the Beatles, so the PBCT shall be referred to the Beatles from here on in) arrive at The Vatican. Pope and Michael get out of the car, the latter informing his brother about his deal with Pope. Michael offered to turn himself in if Pope helped them. Linc takes this about as well as you’d expect. He gets all shouty (and hot). Pope takes this in and tells Michael to go. He says he listened to the recording and it’s important. He figures there’ll be people out there who will want it destroyed. Michael thanks him and the Beatles depart.

As C-Note rocks Dede he totally loses it. Sniff. I am not crying. Shut up!

Lang calls Mahone, saying he’s got a call. It’s C-Note. He offers to turn himself in if Kacie is released. Mahone points out that C-Note’s not really in the position to make demands. So C offers him something else.

Dede’s lying in a hospital bed and Mahone gives her a teddy bear. He informs C-Note that Kacie’s been released and reminds C to hold up his end of the bargain. “I will,” C promises. “I’ll get you Scofield.” Dun!

The Beatles stop at what I presume is a motel and set up a laptop. The get ready to play the recording, but…wuh? That’s it. That’s the end of the episode. No racing Prison Break theme, just a shot of Miller and Purcell standing in what appears to be a big ass tunnel. What is up with ending the episodes minus the theme? And as hot as Miller is, that color doesn’t look the greatest on him.

Last night’s episode was filled with action, love and secrets.

What would possess Linc and Michael to continue to work with Kellerman after Sarah tells them that he left her to drown. They should have killed him right then and there and left him to die. I know that sounds harsh but he is a shady character and I dont believe that he is true to helping Linc and Michael. He is up to no good and it is only a matter of time before the truth comes out.

I am hoping T-Bag is the next fugitive to be captured or even killed. The pure torture he is putting Susan and her children through is horrid. No one, especially kids, deserve to be put through that hell.

What kind of prison lets a man out of prison to do a job for an FBI agent? And he was given access to a truck and a gun. Bellick is a crazy man but he is in prison for a crime he didn’t commit. Although he does a great job posing as an FBI Agent Malone. I don’t think working with Agent Malone is in his best interest, however. Agent Malone is a snake in the grass and everything he does benefits one person…..HIM!

C-Note may be a fugitive on the run, but he truly cares about his daughter, Dede. With his wife, Kacee, behind bars for keeping her fugitive husband.

I wonder what next week’s epiosde will bring!

Bolshoi Booze, they were numbers. GPS coordinates to be exact. That Michael, he thinks of everything.

So, T-Bag keeps catching more breaks than a Kit-Kat bar. Well, I had a bit of a problem that T-Bag was able to get his hand untied as fast as he did. Another big problem that Bellick tied up that hand. Why in the world would he tie up T-Bag’s bum hand? This whole thing could’ve been avoided if Bellick would’ve tied the other, or both, hand(s) to the radiator. But, then again, Bellick and Geary aren’t the shiniest pennies in the bag, so who knows what they were thinking. Either way you look at it, T-Bag got out of the house, and is now running around, as a handless wonder. But, somehow he still ends up being just as scary to Geary who finds out T-Bag had a GPS transmitter in the bag all along (those Army/Navy stores are fun by the way). I just don’t understand how, during that whole scene with Bellick, Geary, and T-Bag, those two knuckleheaded ex-gaurds didn’t somehow see that T-Bag had a trasmitter on him or some where near him.

In any case, Mr. Geary found out the hard way, and now he’s dead, T-Bag has the money, Bellick is going to have to answer more questions for the police and poor Geary didn’t even get to have his ‘Cleavland…what?’ Eww!

It’s kinda sad that this blog has just been set up, because we’re already into this second season by 10 episodes. To go back and recap all the past episodes would be extremely difficult for me to do. With that said lets start with last night’s episode and go from there.

Wow! Prison Break is just pure fun, like Die Hard. You understand how completely implausible it is while watching it, yet you’re totally engrossed in what’s going on. Prison Break isn’t grounded in our reality, but some other reality that appears to be like ours but everything’s a conspiracy and people figure the exact right thing out and the exact right second they need to. But, the key to Prison Break’s success in my mind is it’s sheer intensity.
