    One interesting plot and Setups!!!! hide show

    First, from the writers perspective:

    They needed to build some plot, like for example how almost all the convicts will be in Utah. So make sense beginning with David and T-bag, give time for sucre and C-note Storylines, maybe in the next episodes.

    As expected, thw writers wrote some miracle and now t-bag have is hand back, not entirely functional, of course. If this was a movie, only one scene was necessary to explain all.

    Pope and Bellick lost their jobs, that is satisfying, mainly because of Bellick, he deserved. Now he can be a rogue agent and hunt Michael.

    Another Objective was Michael and Mahone confrontation, which was easy to do, since LJ Storyline could be easily tied to them, for that to happen.

    My point of View:

    All Bellick scenes was satisfatory, mainly the last scene, that was excellent. T-Bag scene seems to be a filler only. DAvid Scenes too, since he could appear in Utah, without any scenes explaining how he arrived there.

    Michael and Lincoln tentative was interesting, only near the end and the cliffhager was fine too.

    Other than that, I think we donīt have a great episode, but a good one.

    Well written. hide show

    Agent Mahone tries to lure the escapees by targeting an imprisoned L.J. as Michael and Lincoln plan another breakout. Abruzzi, C-Note, and Sucre flee on their own, while Tweener finds a ride. Bellick and Pope face tribunal for their roles in the breakout. Another awesome episode, Prison Break is getting better and better. I'm really starting to like, Mahone eventhough I don't want any of them to get killed and stuff. I liked seeing LJ again after his long absence from the show. This season is really fast and I love it like this. Can't wait to watch more of this season.

    Michael and Lincoln try to get L.J hide show

    The Fox River Eight's mugs are all over the papers alongside an announcement for LJ's court hearing. Michael and Lincoln head off to break him out of the courthouse. Posing as LJ's lawyer on the phone, Lincoln riddles his son: "On the third, look out for Otis Wright." When Bellick is sacked for his involvement in the escape, Pope resigns in protest. T-Bag expresses his gratitude to his astonished vet by putting him down, while Tweener makes use of his boyish looks and blags a lift to Utah with a naïve student girl. After attempting to blackmail LJ into giving up his father's whereabouts, Mahone escorts the boy to the third floor of the courthouse. They both clock the sign for Otis Manufacturing. Lincoln swings down from the ceiling of the lift, playing tug-of-war with Mahone over LJ. Mahone barks that if they give themselves up, LJ walks. It's a disaster: Lincoln drops the gun and his son. "I've failed him," he whimpers as the brothers run for their lives.
