Granted, Bellick and his sidekick aren’t the sharpest tools in the shed, but wouldn’t you search a guy before torturing him? Hell, the key was right there, sticking out of his sock for all of America to see. Anyway, it was fun to see the sidekick hit Bellick over the head a couple of times with that meat tenderizer. So now another guy has an opportunity to take five million dollars and disappear. What are the chances that the sidekick doesn’t end up with the money? I’d say they were pretty good…

And something tells me that T-Bag is going to lose his hand…again. That thing was ripping apart at the seams. Ugh.

I was a little worried about LJ and Lincoln when the van from “Old School” ran them off the road, but once I saw the blonde, I figured they were good to go. She looks like a potential new romance for Linc, assuming the group can get away from the bad guy. It will be interesting to see how that confrontation goes down.

Here’s a theory: all of those “Silence of the Lambs” switcheroos were just a setup for tonight’s non-switcheroo when Michael and Sarah met by the railroad tracks. I saw the car and figured it was him, but they’ve pulled the switch so many times that I was half expecting it to be Haywire or something. Understandably, Sarah wasn’t too pleased about the “run away to Panama” plan, but what was she expecting? Then she pulls a Houdini while Michael’s in the bathroom, leaving a note that said, “This time I know better.” Please. What’s the moral of the story? Stay with Michael or you’ll end up with a gun in your face.

And then there’s Mahone…it’s not too smart to mention Panama to Michael. I loved Scofield’s line just before: “When you get close, I will win…every time.” And how about Sarah telling Michael to put on his seat belt when he got into the car? I sure hope that was intentional comedy.

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.

That was a nice twist at the beginning when the cop turned out to be the MILF’s daughter, and I liked how Lincoln disarmed her, though it’s funny how cops on TV never call for backup before investigating a suspicious situation.

I said last week that I thought Tweener was in a good spot to cut a deal with Mahone, and the agent made him a pretty good offer. (He would have been wise to get it in writing, not that it mattered in the end.) All Mahone had to do was show him a few pictures of the vet that T-Bag killed and Tweener started singing. Speaking of everyone’s favorite racist pedophile, he had the best quote of the week…

Watching a news telecast covering his latest misdeed, T-Bag moans, “This show makes me look like a sociopath.”

So someone got to the Governor before he could tell Sara what he knew about Agent Evil. At least she found the key that was on her dad’s body.

It’s interesting that Lincoln decided to go after LJ when the gang was so close to getting the money. Considering he had a day’s drive to Arizona, I don’t know what an hour or two in Utah was going to matter. But Lincoln is nothing if not stubborn, so now the brothers are split up.

It was another nice twist that Sucre heard that the cops had Tweener on the police radio. So the group knew that they had to bolt, but a moment later they found the money. Weeks and weeks of dreaming about it, and there it is, Westmoreland’s cash. As we watched Tweener walk up to the house, I had a feeling that he was going to take Mahone to the wrong address (that’s the third time they’ve pulled “The Silence of the Lambs” switcheroo – what’s the over/under for the season?), but I wasn’t expecting Mahone to flip out like that. It’s clear that he’s a few cards short of a full deck. I wonder why Tweener didn’t offer to roll over on the gang when his life was on the line – he was probably too busy shitting his pants.

And finally, was that a germ of concern I heard in Agent Evil’s voice when he learned that Sara’s life was in danger? I think he just might save her life next week. Ah, the power of a pretty face.
