Now that Gretchen is on the loose, it was just a matter of time before she hooked up with the gang. At the end of last week’s episode, we saw her confront T-Bag in the apartment, so in this installment we were treated to a little villain-on-villain action. For anyone who thought she might have softened up during her time in captivity…well, she didn’t. She is as big of a bitch as ever. I’d like to see what she’d do with Morpheus, but Mahone might get to him first.
Speaking of Mahone, he and Don had a nice little moment outside the warehouse. Don obviously respects Mahone to some degree, because he sought his advice about how to deal with the hitman. The respect is mutual, as evidenced by Mahone’s reaction when Don asked him, “What would you have done?” after Mahone was griping about Don’s decision to leave him in jail. Mahone’s silence spoke volumes. Anyway, that was a sly move to go straight to the general and deliver the “if anything happens to me” speech. It looks like it will buy Don some time, if nothing else.
Last week, I lamented over the departure of Trish Ann and her ample bosom, but they were back in full force this week as a part of T-Bag’s plan to capture Michael. I wonder how T-Bag made/convinced her to come with him, and did he ask her to put on a low-cut blouse to show off the girls? Was that their swan song, or will they make another appearance? These are the questions that try men’s souls.
The trip to Vegas was rather mundane, especially for a trip to Vegas, but Roland’s device did get snatched up by casino security. With the way he was going on about the city, you’d think that the gang would keep better track of him, especially after they shoehorned in that his device could be used to figure out which progressive slots are about to hit.
“I can’t believe those guys left me alone in Vegas after I totally foreshadowed that I was going to get into trouble.”
Of course, I have to mention my boy Sucre who was willing to bite the bullet and go up to the old man’s suite. Only instead of fending off the dude’s advances, he gets to have sex with the guy’s super-hot wife. AND he gets a thousand dollars for his trouble. Sucre hasn’t had a day like that since he last saw Maricruz.
Finally, Lincoln explained the nosebleeds to Sarah. Apparently, Michael’s mom had the same symptoms and she eventually died from a brain aneurism when she was 31. Now that Michael is the same age it’s time for everyone to get worried.
So are you worried? Good, that’s the whole point.
