    Season Finale!!! hide show

    Details/Progress (To point A to B) -» (10/10). This is the final episode of this season, so Michael, Lincoln, Mahone and Sara fate is decided, so what you being waiting to see since season 1 finale is here, unfortunately in form of continuation.

    Time and Scene Management - » (10/10). This is strange, but actually the producers rushed things, which makes me think what they didn´t use two episode instead of one, but ok, less filler is better.

    Plot Details/Holes- » (1/10). T-bag arms are totally fine which is strange, the writers did another strange job, Lincolns is free without going to a judgment or being present, T-bag, Michael, Bellick and Mahone are in the worst prison I ever seen and yet, they don´t have at least one judgment to prove their innocent or guilty, the Mexican police just followed the script. The worst flaw was that the cops already had seen Sara running with the gun, however, they believed in what Michael said, unbelievable.

    Drama - » (7/10). Mahone plans didn´t go so well as he planned, Sara and Michael together and he was willing to do a sacrifice.

    Suspense/Tension - » (8/10). Mahone with Michael delivered good tension, Mr. Kim appearance to kill Lincoln was too.

    Surprises/Shocks - » (8/10). The fast beginning it is a surprise.

    Beginning - » (10/10). Wow, Sara judgment is over and also Lincoln is a free man too, see, this is what I am talking about, when there is no fillers, things go pretty fast and to the point.

    Complication Phase - » (7/10). Save Lincoln, avoid being caught by the Mexican police, and keeping the money.

    Climax - » (9/10). At least, Mr. Kim delivered something.

    Ending - » (8/10). Michael in a new prison which not only seems poor but very dangerous too, even the guards avoid to enter in Sona.

    What I liked -» Mr. Kim dead. Mahone in Prison and also T-bag too.

    What I Didn´t Liked -» The Mexican police following the script. Michael in Prison, again.

    Season 2 had very little relevance/quality material to cover (the money, reunion with LJ and Sara and Escaping), so through all this season, the writers used filler material to fill every 40 minutes episodes. Compared with season 1 which had fillers mixed with material of great quality/relevance, and even the fillers was very good and explored some interesting things, which made every episode to be crucial and left a feeling that every episode was important. This season lost this magic, but at least delivered some interesting episodes. This episode is good, but as many logical flaws, because the writers didn´t know how to do better, hope that season 3 relevant/quality material mixed with fillers will make every episode seems to be important and deliver that type of tension that only season 1 could deliver.

    Amazing. hide show

    Kellerman's testimony frees Sara and Lincoln of their charges. Michael tries to save his brother from Mahone. Sucre searches for Bellick in order to find Maricruz, while T-Bag meets Bellick in a Panamanian jail. Awesoem episode, very, very entertraingin to watch. This episode "Sona" is very intense too. I love every minute of it, it's everything what Prison Break is, which is awesome of course. I loved the way Michael said it was him too, he is so cute with Sara. Oh and it just left me with more questions. Oh I loved the way Kellerman helped Sara out too. I love Kellerman oh and I love Prison Break!

    Just left me with more questions! hide show

    If there is one thing this show does to me is leave me with more questions than when I start an episode. First and foremost why would Lincoln, Michael and Sara run after shooting Chen? It does not make sense. It was self defense and it would have been very easy to prove. Why did Lincoln stop following Sara after she was questioned? If Sara was let go Lincoln would not be in trouble either. Was that Bellick laying on the ground in the prison? I think it is but it was hard to tell. I ranked this episode pretty high but a season finale should have been a bit better. The last thing that gets me is when Sara shoots Chen he falls in the water before the cops ever got there so they did not know what had happened yet, especially since Chen called them.

Episode Cast and Crew

View All
  • When Sucre is at the hospital, the doctor calls him "Sr. Gonzalez". He obviously used a fake name. However, it wasn't shown if he still used his first name, because that way he would be Fernando Gonzalez: the most famous Chilean tennis player. []
  • Toward the end of the episode, Michael is shown outside of Sona getting off of the prisoner transport van in heavy rain; his sweatshirt is soaked. However, once inside Sona, his sweatshirt appears as dry as can be. []
  • In the previous episode, Michael tells Lincoln that the Fin Del Camino Hotel (in Panama City) is only an hour away from the boat, but in this episode, Michael tells Mahone that it will take him at least 24 hours to get from the boat to the docks "just outside Panama City".

    Michael was most likely telling Mahone that so he could stall for time to formulate his plan, if he had told Mahone the truth there wouldn't have been enough time for him to go to DeJesus and formulate his plan for surviving once getting away from Mahone, since it would have taken much longer than an hour.

    Or, and this is more plausible, Michael told Alex the duration of the way to the docks by the boat. It takes longer! []
  • For this entire season, Wenworth Miller (Michael) was nominated for the 2007 Teen Choice Award for Choice TV Actor-Drama. []
  • For this entire season, Robert Knepper (T-Bag) was nominated for the 2007 Teen Choice Award for Choice TV Villain. []
  • Though credited, Rockmond Dunbar does not appear in this episode. []
More Notes
  • Mahone: I face more prison time than you. I sort of jumped ahead of you a few spots on the public enemy list. You're my way to freedom, Michael. And I'm yours. We both know what the other one's capable of. Come on, let's treat each other with respect here. No games, no nothing. Just two guys doing each other a favor. []
  • Kim: (to Pad Man) The stars are finally aligned, sir. Mahone's got Burrows and Scofield is on his way. []
  • Lincoln: I'd call her (Pam) back if I were you. Tell her to forget you were ever born, stop the cancer in your life from spreading to theirs.
    Mahone: Cancer of my life? I wouldn't be begging her to meet me in this third world dump if it weren't for you and your life. []
