Bittersweet Reunion

A moment us fans have been waiting for — perhaps more than the escape, more than the moment when the whole conspiracy will blow up — finally happened last night. Finally Sara and Michael are reunited!

Things started in the train station. Things were very tense at the moment, and they did enjoy a hug before Sara filled the brothers in on how Kellerman nearly killed her. But Sara shouldn't even have had time for all of her creepy Kellerman flashbacks and deadly rage on the train en route to Chicago; Michael should have been all over her. She was sitting in a train car with her almost murderer — the girl needed her hand held and then some.

Their private make-out session (just before the train hit a roadblock, of course) was awesome. It was good to see Sara smile again, but that smile was short-lived. She professed her forbidden love for Michael (like it even needed to be said — she ruined her life for him), which she never would have confessed to if she hadn't lost her father and been left completely alone in the world. Later, when Michael told her, "Me too," you could see in Sara's eyes that she was unsatisfied. And possibly for good reason; as guilt-ridden as Michael is over hurting Sara, he's been detached from his emotions and playing games for so long that he can't know his own feelings. He said it himself: All he has is faith, and that might be all he has room for right now. He's going to have himself a good cry when this is all over, but until it is and he does, things with him and Sara could remain unresolved and chaste.

Sara's disappointment was paralleled by Kellerman's. His phone calls with the president obviously did not go as well as the lovelorn and fired agent had hoped. It turned out that was not the president on the line. Now that he knows he won't be the chief of staff, what will Kellerman do now? As sketchy as the whole Chicago trip seemed, I half thought that the train worker whom Kellerman patronized repeatedly was responsible for calling the police. Kellerman's behavior was so erratic that the train worker had every reason to think he was a liar. And seriously, how many times will Kellerman abuse that expired FBI badge?

Bellick may not even get the chance to abuse his. In addition to freedom, which he theoretically deserves, Bellick got a temporary promotion, but his service under Mahone might pass even more quickly than his conviction and incarceration. Mahone was right to congratulate Bellick for using women to track the escaped male prisoners, but Bellick obviously misunderstood what being a mad dog meant, and he and Mahone are going to have problems.

And problems keep finding C-Note. He can't even get a sandwich without the diner he's in being held up. C-Note managed to keep the other diners safe by working with and then against the robber, and he found his freedom again when the grateful waitress let him escape out the back door, but much like his daughter's medicine, C-Note's luck can't last much longer. Previews for the next episode show C-Note and Mahone crossing paths, and one has to wonder whether Mahone will kill his kid.

Killing kids is T-Bag's forte, and even he's been avoiding that lately. Though saying, "I'll go unlock the kids and make us all breakfast," comes close to that level of monstrousness. As usual, T-Bag was able to put on the charm in front of strangers, wowing the welcome-wagon woman with his brunch, his handyman skills, and his fictitious church work. His strong parenting with Zach wasn't even criticized; after all, "without a strong father figure, a young man just might end up in prison." Ultimately, T-Bag was too good at pretending and made his first guest want to invite the whole neighborhood over to his house. Now that T-Bag has taken his makeshift family on the road, he can avoid women's book clubs, but it will be harder to avoid detection unless he keeps his school-aged stepkids under complete lock and key — oh wait...he will.

On the flip side, Sasha (also known as Billy from Charmed) is freer than ever before because Haywire killed her abusive father, and her first instinct was to protect the criminal when questioned. Her second instinct, however, was to tell Bellick the truth, or else he wouldn't have found Haywire and his homemade boat. But Bellick has a lot to learn super-evil-secret-agent-wise; he let the cops and bystanders show up, much to Mahone's chagrin. Mahone didn't even feign a reach for Haywire. Haywire's death was sad; of all of the escapees, he's had the least amount of choice when it came to committing his crimes. Bellick could not have been more horrified. It's possible that the former CO has a conscience after all.

So what will happen next? Does Michael really love Sara, or is he just feeling guilty? What if anything is inside that private cigar box? And which reunion are you more excited to see next week— Sucre and Maricruz's or Michael and Warden Pope's?
