So last night's episode of Prison Break was just as awesome and nerve-wracking as last week's episode. One thing we saw coming from last week was that T-Bag was ready to lose an appendage to save his life, even if his life may only be safe for so long. Did he actually have to bite his hand off, or just use his teeth to remove the stitches? T-Bag better find another veterinarian really soon, because that stump where his hand used to be is going to get really nasty really soon.
Meanwhile, Michael got a little nasty, adding petty theft and shoving an old shopkeeper into some coolers to his list of misdeeds. Hurting the old man made Michael feel characteristically guilty about everything that had gone wrong since he started his quest to save Lincoln, and he needed to atone. His confession to the priest was at once revealing and puzzling. I wonder who a young Michael saw die, and if it has anything to do with the fact that he apparently saw his father when he was 10 years old and never told Lincoln about it. In the last episode, Jan said Aldo hadn't seen Michael since he was 10 years old, but Lincoln believed Michael and Aldo had never met. Jan can't be pulling that age out of nowhere. Both Aldo and Michael have now confirmed that they've met, using rather ominous tones.
Now back to T-Bag. He was smart enough to put a tracker in the bag of money and easily found Geary. He, of course, killed him. Then, there's Bellick who I don't see having much more to do. He is a bit of a lame duck, since it seems impossible that he could win in any foreseeable scenario. He's not in the position to do anything about the escapees. He's been off Michael's trail for a while and now he has aroused the suspicions of the local police after giving the hospital an obviously fake ''I got jumped'' story and then revealing that he recognized Geary's brutally murdered body. If Bellick goes to prison, the poetic justice would be great.
Speaking of justice, how about that justice Jan gave the hired hand sent to take out the Burrows men? Lincoln didn't do too badly either. His spidey sense was tingling when he heard the gunman's shell hit the stone floor, and then he got all convict on that shooter's ass. When it comes to protecting his son, Lincoln will take down anyone. His skills with a knife impressed the equally lethal Jan, who totally gave Lincoln the sexy eyes when he left his father's compound.
Meanwhile, Michael had been trying to secure a plane to Panama from some fellow criminals. He had made a deal to with these guys for them to provide a plane to Panama if he gave them nitro. However, when these guys correctly suspected that Michael didn't have his promised medical-grade nitro, Michael found himself staring down the barrel of a gun. Luckily, Sucre came to the rescue and shot the guy just in time. Fortunately for the guy Sucre shot (and really for Sucre, who would have been 10 times more wanted if that guy had died), he was dealing with the nicest criminal ever. Of course Michael let those guys go! Michael couldn't watch another man bleed out even if the man did deserve it. It's his gift, and it's his curse.
Just like how Mahone's gift-curse is that he is a crazy killing machine. Mahone has killed so many people at this point, can he really turn his life around now? He can't help Michael as long as his own family is alive. But can he go back to family life if he fulfills his promise to kill the Fox River escapees? No way. And if he fails? He's dead. Mahone is either going to take the escapees' side or kill himself. But Mahone can't go out without getting some revenge. He seems especially interested in hurting Mr. Kim, now that he's been taunted by him. And who is this Kim guy anyway? Yes, he's part of the evil company and the new government's plot, but who is he really? He couldn't have gotten to his high villainous position by avoiding field work and delegating all of his murders. His creepy killer skills are bound to reveal themselves soon, especially if Kim is betrayed by Kellerman, who could show a weak side with Sara.
Sara's key (the one that fell off Governor Tancredi's body) may lead to the hiding spot of a flash drive that holds an NSA-recorded phone conversation of Terrence Steadman's. After some fairly mild torture, Kellerman pleaded with Sara to be smart ''for once in your life.'' Really, he's right. She should wise up. She has done a lot of stupid things: letting those guys out of jail, becoming BFF with a Narcotics Anonymous impostor after knowing him for a hot minute, calling her dad's friend from a cell phone after he so obviously sent a gunman to her pay phone. But you still have to feel for Sara, because as good as she was with Michael's word jumbles, she's not a seasoned criminal or a seasoned investigator. Of course she's going to make stupid decisions sometimes.
So now we have 2 episodes left until the fall finale. What will happen with Sara? Will Michael, Lincoln, Aldo, and Sucre escape from Mahone and make it on the plane. Oh, and where is Haywire?
