Prison Break: Two Times the Fun?

A two-hour episode today that really packed a lot in. There were definitely some great tense moments, but a lot of the usual Prison Break Fake-Outs as well.

Lechero killed one of his dudes, pretty much slit his throat on television, and then strung him up in the prison yard. That didn't really have a point - I just thought it was cool.

Lincoln finally told Michael that Sara is dead. Michael blames Whistler for this (right, dude, it's not your fault that she helped you escape and got caught up in everything). He calls Whistler out with the chicken foot. Remember: chicken foot = fight to the death. Michael uses the time leading up to the fight as a distraction for the boys to set up their escape. They start down the window - Michael even touches the ground - but a freaking CLOUD ruins their plan, which hinged on a guard being blinded by reflecting sun. Way to account for weather, Scofield.

So they have to fight, but of course are interrupted by alarms. The guards discovered a guard that they drugged. Prisoner #2 is blamed for the escape and killed.

Dumbass Lincoln lies to Susan every chance he gets, but she refrains from decapitating L.J. Long story short, Hulk!Linc catches up to Susan and L.J. and punches her square in the face. Nice! But he ultimately pusses out, doesn't kill her, and we're back to where we started, with her taking off with L.J.

Long story short back at the prison, Lechero figures out it was Michael escaping and wants in on it. And the Big Reveal is that Susan has been working with Whistler this whole time. Michael sees them talking in the visitation area. Maybe that's not so smart - meeting in public.

As for Mahone, here's his plot: Mahone out. He's offered a deal by his old FBI cronies - 4 years in (an American) prison in exchange for his testimony about the President, the Company, etc. He's scheduled to testify at some hearing but it keeps getting postponed. This makes Crazy, Paranoid Mahone uneasy. He's wigging out and that's where we leave him.

Then I turn on the football game and the Ravens just scored their first touchdown, making it 7 to 35. Gotta go watch Heroes - it has to be better than this game!
