The longer that Linc goes without telling Micheal about Sara’s death, the more trouble it’s going to cause down the line. Linc’s probably smart not to break the news, as it would probably cause Michael to flip out and that would jeopardize L.J., but Michael is going to see the omission as a betrayal.
The creators took another shot at Sarah Wayne Callies by having Susan make a reference to Linc losing his head and then saying there’s “a bad joke about Sara in there somewhere.” I think this a cheap attempt at humor and I don’t find it realistic that Susan would make this comment let alone kill Sara in the first place. It’s too big of a risk that Michael will find out about her death and refuse to help the Company. The bottom line is that the creators wanted to kill off Sara and this is the best they could come up with. Regardless, expect some serious vengeance when Michael discovers the truth.
The escape plan is coming together…sort of. Michael wants to break out during the day (nice twist!), only his plan runs into a snag when one of the guards spots Michael watching him through a binocular lens. With his cell locked up, Michael must now figure out how to break the chains (or come up with Plan B) within 24 hours.
I’m not sure what the point was of Sucre taking on the role of drug smuggler nor is it clear how the drug kingpin makes any money off the prisoners. Isn’t there a fixed amount of money flowing around Sona? So when drugs go in, where is the new money coming from? And where is it going? Luchero has a bundle, but I just don’t know how these customers are coming up with the cash. And how can the kingpin afford to give Sucre $5 K for that little bundle? I’m confused.
Linc’s expression when Sofia took off her shirt on the beach was pretty funny. Is this a sign of a new romance? She seems to be fully in love with Whistler (and is willing to go to great lengths to break him out), but if he betrays her somehow, it will be easy for her to run into Linc’s big arms.
T-Bag’s story progressed a little when he stole the heart of Luchero’s whore. He may have overstepped his bounds, but I think she’ll help him at some crucial point in the future. He also has Mahone running a tab for his drugs, so expect him to leverage that debt sometime soon.
Finally, there’s a new prisoner and Star Trek fans will recognize Dominic Keating from his role as Malcom Reed on “Enterprise.” He’s English, and I’m not sure what accent his character is supposed to have, but he shed some light on Whistler’s past when he said that he met Whistler when he was “with the ambassador.”
It looks like the gang will have to try to use the guard’s coffee cup against him. I’m not sure how Michael plans to do it, but something tells me he’ll find a way.
