    Veronica and Nick manage to get hold of L.J. by tricking Hale and Kellerman into believing they are somewhere else. Michael tries to protect a young new inmate, Tweener, from T-Bag's predations. Meanwhile, the escape plan is endangered when Abruzzi falls out of favor with Philly Falzone and loses control of PI, and hands the reins down to another inmate. C-Note begins to investigate his suspicions about Michael. Tweener was introduced and made a great first impression he was very funny. T bag was a a hole in this epoisode nothing new there though, slower episode than the prevous ones. .moreless

  • Good episode, with some filler scenes to fill it!!!!

    "Good"

    This episode was produced to think about gaining some time and preparing the next plots. Therefore the writers had decided that they could use the tendency of t-bag and the necessity of scofield in saving those that need. With this they had even arranged an interesting scene where sara, who discovers a little more about scofield and we also. LJ scenes with the the guys of the secret services could be better, there are some tecnhical errors. The scenes with abruzzi had been prepared to give one more problem to scofield and to create one more intense episode.

    Overral, this episode is a filler that contain some plots that will have their importance in the next episodes, but it does not mean that this episode cant be fun to watch One thing is sure, the quality of the cliffhangers is always good, maybe because it always mean that the genius plan of michael scofield will possible fail.moreless

    Michael tries to protect a young inmate from T-Bag's predations. The escape plan is endangered when Abruzzi falls out of favour with Philly Falzone and loses control of PI. C-Note begins to investigate his suspicions about Michael. Another awesome episode. This show is the best, well after LOST but Prison Break has to be my second favourite show, with episodes like these how can it not be? This episode was brilliant. I cant wait until I watch more and more because I cant stop watching it. Michael is great helping out Tweener. I feel soory for Tweener, he is an awesome new character and hopefully we will see alot more from him.moreless

    T-Bag's terrorised cellmate commits suicide, having been framed for Bob's murder. Michael is racked with guilt. He could have done something to help. When T-Bag sets his sights on new inmate Tweener, who seems to be straying towards the wrong coloured gang, Michael seizes the opportunity to protect him. Undercover, Veronica and Nick talk to the widow of the murdered Terence Steadman. It transpires that Steadman was about to be charged with committing fraud, giving all the energy company's investors a motive for his murder. As Kellerman and Hale close in on LJ, he inadvertently leads them to the lawyers. When Bellick's interference causes Abruzzi's bribes from the outside to dry up, mob boss Falzone promotes Gus, another mobster, above him. This is a disaster for Michael. With Gus as the new boss of the PI programme, the escape plan faces another serious hurdle.moreless

    • Goof: When Bellick enters the break room, and admonishes Sucre for being lazy, he makes quite a show about his picture being up on the Crew Member of the Month Board, but he doesn't notice that the board is missing in subsequent visits (as the inmates use it to cover the hole). Edit
    • Goof: There is talk about the inmates being the ones to replace the carpet in the guards' breakroom in this episode, but in episode J-Cat, C.O Patterson tells the P.I crew that Bellick wants the carpet to be done by professionals. Edit
