Is it just me, or did the trip to Utah fly by? It seems like it was only yesterday that the escapees were farting around Illinois, trying to find transportation. Now, everyone is out West, and they’re all looking for the money. Even Agent Mahone is headed in that direction, after putting all the pieces together using the information miraculously retrieved from Michael’s hard drive.
It seems funny that T-Bag would be the first one to the map, but that would explain why the guy in the records room was acting so strangely. I just don’t see T-Bag as a “we need to go to the city archives to find the parcel by parcel map” kind of a guy. That kind of research is generally better left to the Willow Rosenbergs of the world. And where exactly did he hide it? That part wasn’t too clear. He mentioned something about a “coin purse,” which makes me wonder why the brothers didn’t strip search him, though I would understand their reluctance.
Regardless, T-Bag is the map now, but suburban sprawl has spread over the land where the money is buried, so the gang has the work cut out for them. Luckily, there’s help on the way – Sucre and C-Note should arrive in town during the next episode. Something tells me that C-Note will eventually buy that RV he had his eye on.
I thought it was a nice twist when Agent Evil played it off that he was gay in order to earn an invite to Sara’s crib. He has proven time and time again that he is wickedly smart, and will stop at nothing to complete a mission. It’s not clear what the deal was with the out-of-service phone number, but I’m sure we’ll find out soon enough.
I also wonder how deeply the Governor will dig. Sara’s apology seemed to affect him, and he’s someone that could actually get some answers. Eventually, someone will clear Lincoln’s name, and right now my money is on the Governor. Mahone used to be the frontrunner, but the pill popping has me worried.
