    Veronica, Nick and L.J. are pursued by an agent of The Company, who takes over from Hale and Kellerman, but the two agents don't like it. Abruzzi and Michael try to figure out how to regain control of PI, but to do so Michael may have to give up Fibonacci. He manages to send Falzone to a false lead in Canada, where they face international gun charges and parole violation. Abruzzi regains control of PI. However, C-Note forces his way onto the escape team. C Note was great in this one we saw alot of him here, out side of the prison scenes where entertaining.moreless

  • Another Great episode!!!

    After how the things ended in the last episode, the expectations for this episode were high and the writers managed to make one good problem that maintain the audience very interested in what is going to happen.

    The Main problem is simple, to save his brother, michael has to take away the life of another innocent person. As we know, his sense of justice and honor, cannot allow that to happen.

    What he will be going to do?

    What makes this episode even more interesting is John Abruzzi character, there is something about him that makes this episode more worth Watching.

    Lincon Scenes make is death sentence more real. It seems that veronica arranged a great problem for her and LJ.

    The usual cliffhanger wasnt too strong, since the characters which are in danger are not important for me.moreless

    Abruzzi and Michael try to figure out how to regain control of PI, but to do so Michael may have to give up Fibonacci. C-Note forces his way onto the escape team. Veronica, Nick and LJ are pursued by an agent of "The Company". Anotehr awesome episode. I'm glad C - Note is in. He is a very good character and I like him and I like the way his character is, he doesn't give much away, which is great. I just have to say this I dont like Kellerman at all, hopefully as the show goes on I will begin to like him. I love the scene where Michaek, Sucre, Abruzzi and Lincoln are together talking about going home, what they say is so funny. I loved it and I'm loving this episode and tv show. I cant wait to watch more and more episodes.moreless

    Abruzzi's got a plan to get back into Falzone's good books as well as the guards' break room. He wants Michael to bribe the mob boss with information on Fibonacci's whereabouts. Michael' is torn; Fibonacci was a good man who found himself tied up in mob antics. But when Abruzzi threatens Michael into choosing whether to save Veronica or Fibonacci, he complies. Abruzzi adds his own request for Falzone to take care of his Bellick problem. Chez Fibonacci, Falzone's thugs fall into the hands of the police. Was it a setup? Fortunately Falzone has already paid Bellick off and the guards' room is fair game again. Trouble is, now C-Note has cottoned on to the escape plan he wants in - or he's talking... Meanwhile, the Vice President tires of agents Hale and Kellerman's inability to find Veronica, Nick and LJ. She's running for President. She calls in a deadly FBI chum and the bodies continue to pile up.moreless
