This week’s episode was kind of a filler, but the story did move along a bit. LJ and Lincoln were caught by the law, after ditching a perfectly good car to hop on a train, exposing themselves to a bunch of people at the station. Sure, the girl at the rest stop might have been able to describe the make and model of the car, but they would have been much better off stealing another one down the road. However, this boneheaded move was completely in character for both of them. Neither guy has proven to be very sharp, so it is to be expected that they would trip over each other to a certain degree, and Michael will probably have to clean up the mess.
One question: have Lincoln and LJ ever had a conversation about Veronica’s death? That seems like something you might want to talk to your kid about.
I thought the “sundown” in “SUNDOWN/HOT” was the time of the meeting, but it turned out to be the name of a hotel. Sarah is all over this one and apparently has already caught a flight to New Mexico for the meet. She doesn’t know when the meet is, but she knows the location. Meanwhile, Mahone (with some help from Agent Evil) figured out the city, but at this point they have no idea where the meet is. Hopefully Michael picked a big town, but something tells me it’s small enough for random encounters.
But Mahone’s eye isn’t exactly on the ball right now. Michael threw him off when he called the agent from his ex-wife’s cell phone. (By the way, she was played by the lovely and talented Callie Thorne, of “Rescue Me” fame.) The last shot we see is Mahone digging up the dead body. Shouldn’t he be on a flight to New Mexico? Or is he going to let Michael go to keep that skeleton safely in the closet – er – ground?
It appears that T-Bag stashed the money somewhere, which was quite crafty for a guy dumb enough to look up his ex after escaping from prison. I’m sure Bellick will enjoy beating the information out of him. I get the feeling that this money is going to change hands a few times before it’s all said and done.
Finally, I thought C-Note’s storyline was a little iffy this week, but his wife’s line at the reunion was great – “What now?” she says. Exactly. C-Note doesn’t have any money and now he’s got his family on the run. What’s he going to do next? He thinks Sucre has the cash – will he and his crew go after him? Now that would be an interesting road to take.
