    In the Previous episode, we had 4 mini - Plots about Michael, t-bag, abruzzi what was temporarily solved, and two mini plots started, more like a CellMate plot divided.

    Since the previous episode dont solved this Cell Mate plot, this episode should do it.

    And that his exactly what happens, however this time, the writers gave the sensation the bought to much time of the episode, like a filler, if this will be important somehow, only future call tell.

    Sucre has to find a reason to be back, and the writers provide him exactly that. What was unexpected is that Haywire could cause problems to the Escape Plan.

    The Cosnpiracy Plot that I dont talked until now: sometimes is boting, maybe because is veronica, or maybe michael situation is so intense, that you dont wanna see nothing more. Cute Poison Plan by Michael was executed with no problems.

    Overall, expected some plots being solved, like sucre and Haywire, see michael new plan, the conspiracy (little boring) plot and a new character and of course, the great cliffhanger that you always can expect.moreless

    Michael continues working on the escape plan while working around his new cellmate, Haywire. When Sucre discovers that his cousin Hector is making a move on his fiancee he decides he wants in on the escape. Another awesome episode. I really, really enjoyed every minute of this episode it was so, so, so good. I think this episode was better than the Pilot, which is really good in my opinion and hopefully and I know that the episode will get better and better. The The cliffhanger at the end of this episode was awesome. I cant wait to watch the next episode.moreless

    Lincoln Burrows is roused from sleep in his cell when Bellick and other guards rush in and cuff him. Bellick informs him that it's time for his execution. As Lincoln struggles against the guards, saying he still has a month, but he is still taken out to the electric chair. Once he is strapped in and the guards pull down the lever that turns on the electric chair, Lincoln jumps and snaps open his eyes as he awakens from a dream while lying on his bed in the cell.Better than the last episode this was a good episode and it was very exciting.moreless

    I do not know why I have waited so long to watch this series. It is quickly becoming one of my favorites and this episode helps it climb higher on my list. After Sucre wants out of the breakout attempt he finds his fiance is with another man. He knows the only chance he has to get her back is to get back in the plan. Michael sets up haywire to make it look like he was attacked. Haywire goes back to psych and Sucre is transferred back to Michael's cell. Just when things are looking up for the plan the secret service has arranged for Michael to be transferred to another facility. Another well written episode acted out very well. The suspense just keeps coming.moreless

  • Trivia

    ADD TRIVIA
    • Goof: At the start of the episode, during Lincoln's dream sequence, Lincoln pleads to Bellick that he has a month left (about 28 - 31 days), but in the previous episode, when Pope is talking to Lincoln, Pope tells him he has less than 4 weeks. Edit
    • Goof: How was it that Sucre was able to get a transfer out of his cell with Michael fairly easily in the previous episode? Because in this episode, Pope tells Michael that transfer "requests based on personality fall on deaf ears". What was Sucre's reason for his transfer? Edit
    • Goof: When Michael is unscrewing the bolt on the side of the toilet he's actually not unscrewing anything. You can clearly see his hands moving as he turns the last few turns with his hand but his hand is an inch away from the bolt hole which has no bolt in the first place. Edit

    • Lincoln: What are you doing here? Veronica: I'm your attorney. I'm representing you now... if that's all right with you. Edit
    • Haywire: I crapped myself once in junior high. We were playing badminton, and I had to walk past the other kids to get to the locker room. So I thought I would make fun of it, you know before the other kids had a chance to, so I said: Look, I have a tail! (paus) Haywire: I just told you a secret. Now you have to tell me one. Michael: You want to know what the tattoos mean? Haywire: Yeah! Michael: Nothing! Edit
    • Veronica: What about you? Why death penalty work? Nick: My father did fifteen years for a crime he didn't commit. I know firsthand that when the government gets you in their crosshairs you stand very little chance. That's why. Edit
