Prison Break - Recap!

Sarcasm provided compliments of Emma

We left our group last week as they successfully copied the 3rd card after breaking into an office hacking a hole in the wall, using explosives, vacuums and oddly placed stains. Michel bled again, said Sara’s name and Wyatt was close on their trail.

This week we start with Sara riding up an escalator wearing a low cut top (her boobs look a lot bigger then they did previously) We see Michael wearing a hideous fisherman hat. At the racetrack we see Bellick causing a diversion so Linc can go get friendly with some horses. Mahone and Michael sneak into an office to leave the device as Sara distracts the guard with her new boobs. (where is the scar on her back? we see it in the preview for the Vegas episode but not here?)

Back to the action at the track Michael rigs the gate on a certain horse to not open causing MAJOR uproar and causing a certain person whom holds the card to go into the office to demand to know what happened… thus the card copying can begin.

However it wouldn’t be Prison Break if someone doesn’t caught and that’s Mahone. The gang stare as he put into a cop car.

“Were screwed” (yeah probably so)

We cut to Riverside California (anyone who has ever been to Riverside.. well its one of those places people in La make fun of) anyway.. Gretchen is beating down someone’s door and a small mousy woman opens it. “Hi Sis”.

It wouldn’t be a great episode if we didn’t see T-Bag pacing back and forth with his prosthetic hand trying to figure out the contents of the bird book while being harassed by a Gate employee about his paperwork having bad SS#’s. (that was a long run on sentence that I fully admit to) Of course through the office made of glass low cut top and tight skirt girl is being nosey.

Mahone is in jail and tries to talk himself out of it, however throwing a left hook (or was it right) at an officer doesn’t bode well in LA and since he cant deluge he is FBI he is shit out of luck as they go to fingerprint him. Even with an Alias like Frank Zwan (any relation to swan?) his fingerprints being run will soon give him away.
Not sure why the ankle bracelet didn’t give him away right there…

Linc calls Self for help and to fills him in.

Someone is on Selfs computer doing random work (shouldn’t that always be a tip off when someone is just working on your computer?)

Back at the safe house we get the wonderful gratuitous around the room shots of everyone looking perplexed. (um ok)

Now we get to see a naked Gretchen (ok not really) but she emerges from the shower and looks a lot cleaner then she was. When talking to her sister we almost see a softer side as she lies about a broken down car and walking across the desert (??? in RIVERSIDE?) She asks about the Owl she sent from Germany and her sister hands it to her. She looks at it for a moment and then proceeds to take her frustrations out on it by smacking the S*** out of it on the counter breaking it open… oooooh there is a gun and money and credit cards inside. Her sister stands there shocked (she really liked that Owl)

Padman and his sexy (not) voice is discussing Self with Wyatt and the guy who had been on the computer comes walking in saying that he wasn’t able to crack the firewall (come on? seriously)

Self is trying to get Mahone out but to no avail, he does however make a deal saying if Mahone signs some papers he can take all his stuff (the device) leaving him in jail(hey that’s nice) Mahone is pissed but signs the papers because hey he is a nice guy now and doesn’t want the team to suffer.

Linc the walking mouthpiece for the group isn’t happy they sold Mahone down the river but says its necessary. This upsets Sucre and Bellick who think its pretty F***** up to know if something happens they too would be assed out. They all state their views and Lincoln is talking, then Sucre defers to Michael… who admits they have no choice.

Wyatt corners Self in an underground parking garage (they always seem to be empty and void of any living beings.. which if you have ever been to LA isn’t true.) but Wyatt is asking why he is looking into Padman and Self says hello I work for Homeland Security… Wyatt wants to know about the terror level or something and asks to be debriefed (not sure about you but I don’t want to see either of them without their briefs on) Self declines. Wyatt says hey buddy I am just here to give some friendly advice (he should have invited him to a picnic with lemonade)

Michael and Self talk and Self basically says, you know I can have Mahone killed because he might talk. Michael with his perfected perplexed looks say it isn’t an option. (he sure likes to say things are not options)

They then go back in to talk about 5th cardholder and they begin to roundtable. Michel is wearing long sleeves again and has been since Season 3 (what was the point of removing the tattoos). Roland start running his mouth again but Linc quickly shuts him up. (why do they have to keep Roland around he is sooooooooo annoying)

Meanwhile Tbag is playing hopscotch on the floor while Reading the book and trying to make out clues. He decides to go in the closet (will he come out, hahaha)

At the trunk of the car and Mike and Linc are ready to launch their plan then Michael stares at Sara, he asks about the whole Mahone ordeal and Sara basically tells him he is a big boy and to own up to his feelings (but she is a bit more elusive when she speaks)

Wyatt is now at the police station trying to pretend he knows Mahone.. he actually smiles…… OMG he did something besides scowl… can he actually ACT? OMG (no)
He spots Mahone and they have a good old fashioned stare down.
Mahone decides to NOW use his phone call to Michael and tell him that Wyatt is there, he says look I wont talk, don’t worry but promise me this… you will kill Wyatt and when you do, come to me and let me know. (assuming that Mahone isn’t killed by Wyatt first) Michael is now sad and conflicted (or so we think)

Gretchen is saying goodbye and her sister asks how she can just turn on and off like a switch (um because she is a psycho killer bitch) she thought she was there to get her Daughter (insert dramatic music here) No she came to give her all parental rights. She says goodbye to her daughter who thinks it’s her aunt and leaves on her way.

Meanwhile the “Plan” commences Bellick says to call if it goes South (um sure).

Self is in his office and checks his voicemail and its fromh is wife who is out shopping for dinner. How about pork Chops (eww gross) Self looks less then impressed (how about steak he is thinking to himself, well at least he should be thinking, that)
Then Self turn his ankle bracelet cool monitor tracking thing on and sees the gang all in 1 place he calls Michael (HEY what’s going on….) not now says Michael I’ll call when its done.

Mahone is at the courthouse ready to be arraigned, he is looking round like a hopped up paranoid junkie (oh that was Season 3, but he is still paranoid)

Wyatt walks in and so does someone looking strikingly similar to Sarah Palin behind him (can I gag) Wyatt spots Mahone and Stare down #2 begins.

Back at Gate T-Bag is pounding on the walls (maybe he has friends in there?) Low cut top and tight skirt girl comes in.. you got problems…… He needs to report to the office to discuss the sales report… T-Bag knows his ass is caught so he wipes everything down and runs off. Low cut top girl is trying to stop him, because hello she was promised 3% of his sales… she is out of luck isn’t she. (or is she?)

Gretchen goes to I.D Whistlers (Gary Millers body) by pretending to be his wife… the Officer (OMG ITS TERRY WOODBURY! I know that guy… I worked with him at Universal Studios Hollywood for like 5 years.. he was an extra actor and was on ER and a few other shows… I cant believe he is on Prison Break) anyway… he questions Gretchens last name and says he cannot show her anything because of… and then my friend Terry gets kneed in the face and knocked out. She grabs his file and belongings and there is a phone.. its Cole Pfieffers phone and there is a message from a landlord.

Back in court Sara is now bounding into court pretending to be a lawyer, she grabs the file form the pro bono attorney saying Mahones family hired her…. then we see Sucre counting down.

Then Wyatt decides to play the chair game and moves across the courtroom to get closer to Mahone.

Sucre completes countdown and BOOM power goes out, there is windows breaking, there is Chaos and when everything stops.. Mahone is gone…….

(this was the plan all along to break Mahone out… how sweet)

Wyatt heads into the DARK courthouse hallway in sunglasses (nifty) and Sucre, and Mahone head to the waiting car with Bellick Michael and Linc and Sara heads out too they take off) Wyatt sees the car and Mahone in the front but his newspaper wrapped gun cant be pulled out so he does the next best thing and fake shoots him with his fingers. (yeah that’s soooooo scary)

Back at the house Mahone makes a public thanks not caring if they did it for him or the team.. but thanks!

Sara hands him the file, because with no file there is no trace of Frank Zwan and no fingerprints to lead them to Mahone…. Nifty.

Mahone stupidly goes outside and calls someone.. its Wyatt (insert music of doom) Wyatt said he wondered when he would call, and Wyatt says its not personal… Mahone begs to differ and says he promises they will meet again and he will show him just how personal it is (go Mahone)

Mahone goes back in dumping the paper with the number on it and stupid idiotic Roland picks it out of the trash (OH NO)

Meanwhile Gretchen literally runs into T-bag planting her heel into his face.

What will happen next week:

Will the gang win money in Vegas?
Will Roland rig the slot machines in his favor and get caught (please)?
will T-Bag and Gretchen work together or maybe just go shopping for shoes?
Will Sara become a prostitute and take one for the team… or will SUCRE?
Will Wyatt show up in Vegas or take acting classes?
