    This was a great episode. The plot moved along in this episode and there was plenty of suspense and interesting character interaction.

    If I am being completely truthful though, there was also a lot of writer manipulation of the audience. A lot of what happened didn't happen because it was plausible or even likely but in order to fill time and create suspense.

    Case in point, Michael's gold watch - as another reviewer noted, who would bring a gold watch into a prison and not expect it to be nipped? - but writing it into the story allowed for suspense as we wonder what Michael is going to do and for his interactions with the hip hop fish character.

    Same thing with Veronica clocking the CIA guy but not managing to knock him out or kill him. I'm sorry, but if someone really is a threat to your life, you make sure that he stays down. But hey, since she only tapped him, we could be treated to several minutes worth of chase scene.

    I could go on and on with the devices the writers used in this ep to create suspense and draw the story out.

    Whatever, I don't watch this show because it is high art or subtle. When it is good, as it was in this ep, it is an absolute thrill ride.moreless

    This episode sets everything for the next episodes that will come.

    In the end of this episode, We learn that there are to many people are in involved in the escape plan. Before that, we some goods scenes and what michaels need to do to get this information. This will be interesting, since there are 7 plus more one.

    Not everything goes well for michael, which is already normal, principally with sara, who is jeaulous and bellick, that now knows what michael wifes did for him.

    Its interesting how prison break can change your mind, since it can make you want things between sara and michael work out and the ame goes to the Escape Squad, even when you konw that would mean convicts running in the streets, you want them to make it. For that, the writers deserves credit.moreless

    • Quinn: You ever stay at a fancy hotel, LJ? You know, you leave your room in the morning, it's a mess. Wet, dirty towels on the bathroom floor, last night's room service stinking to high heaven. But then, when you come back at night, it's all gone. Fresh towels, clean sheets, candy on the pillow. It's just the best feeling in the whole world, 'cause someone else cleaned up your mess, all you had to do was walk away. L.J.: Don't you hurt them. Quinn: Okay. But you got to tell me exactly what they know and who else they have told, and nobody has to die tonight. You just walk away. Edit
    • Quinn (to Veronica): Do you know how many pints of blood a human body has? (sighs) The answer is 10. 10 pints. How many you think Prince Charming over there on the floor has left. 8, going on 7?. Tell you what. I'm gonna take him out to the woodshed to have a little talk, in the meantime I want you to chew on this.
