…no lap dances while you’re on duty.
Boy, I really thought Bellick and the boys would be together for more than one episode. I don’t believe they showed it as it happened, but I’m assuming the Russian Bride stole the knife during the lap dance, using the attempted gun theft as a distraction. Otherwise, I don’t know how Lincoln would have been able to get it. Anyway, I’m glad the brothers got the drop on Bellick – he is the consummate asshole and he was getting a little too cocky once he got the boys in custody. However, you’d think a career prison guard would be a little more careful with his weapons, especially with $5 M on the line.
The writers used the “Silence of the Lambs” switcheroo again this week, leading us to believe that it was Tweener’s driver that was calling the police. Only Agent Mahone surprised Abruzzi as he was seeking revenge, and now one of the cooler characters on the show is dead. Unfortunately, this time it’s for real. This begs the question: when people choose to seek vengeance instead of hightailing out of the country, does it ever really work out for them? Of all the escapees, Abruzzi had the connections and the money to truly disappear, but instead he blows his chance to enjoy a long life with his family. What a pity.
Mahone’s hunch about the river yielded Michael’s hard drive and it won’t be long before he learns about the money. This will put him back on their trail faster than you can say, “They cancelled ‘Invasion.’”
I was happy to see the girl escape T-Bag’s clutches without incident, but it looks like her father is either dead or in a world of hurt. I took a peek at the scenes for next week, and it looks like T-Bag will run into Michael and Lincoln in Small Town, U.S.A. What a coincidence! Still, it will be good to get the band back together.
And Michael reached out (again) to Sara, unknowingly putting her in even more danger. I’m not sure there is anything quite as creepy as seeing Agent Evil earning Sara’s trust in those NA meetings.
