Prison Break: The "Lost" Episode - 
by
So much so that the two of them rolled around in bed and discussed their future together. Blah, blah, blah I said, as I thanked the gods again for TiVo technology. *bloop*bloop*bloop* Hey, I was just getting the right frame for the integral screen cap. Ease up on me. *bloop*bloop*bloop* Got it!
Later, Sucre is ready to propose to Maricruz but there's that damn Hector, hectoring Sucre again about having no job and no money. Back to the old standby - robbing a liquor store at gunpoint. Sucre again sauntered into the same store, pointing the gun at the same clerk, but stealing ALL of his cash this time. You see, it was all for love! How can armed robbery be wrong if it feels so right? Unfortunately for Sucre, the cops didn't have the same sentiment and promptly arrested him as he exited the store. Hey, how did they know to be there? That question was answered when we saw that conniving Hector closing his cell phone that just died 9-1-1. In case you were confused, you were supposed to feel badly for the armed robber and be mad at the law-abiding Good Samaritan.
Moral Dilemma # 2: When cheering for Sucre's safe escape and laughing along with approving nods, remember that Sucre is indeed, a two-time armed robber.
Benjamin Franklin, aka C-Note, really was in the military and really did see some action in the Middle East. Annnnnd, like Sucre, he really was a criminal. In the military, as he is later in Fox River, he was the go to guy for illegal contraband. He secured all sorts of booze for his superiors and as a result, was given some cushy jobs away from combat duty - ironically guarding prisoners.
As we all know, guarding prisoners from Iraq requires participating in, or being complicit with, torture. C-Note, being the upstanding smuggler he is, was neither. He witnessed a li'l bit 'o torture goin' on and promptly reported it to his superior. Instead of a medal and promotion, C-Note got arrested and dishonorably discharged from the Army. Wow, this was a pretty politically charged up scene - on a Fox network no less.
Once home in Chicago, C-Note was without a job and without prospects. "Who's gonna hire a black man who was dishonorably discharged" he questioned his brother, MikeJones. Well, MikeJones would for one - he offered to let C-Note "Drive the truck" which we new entailed illegalities of some sort. So poor, poor C-Note drove the truck, got arrested, and sent up the (Fox) River. This was the part where his entire arrest, bail hearing, bail, trial, etc were all hidden from his wife and daughter. You'd think escaping prison would be a breeze for him after pulling that off! He had a word with MikeJones and told him to NEVER tell his family he was in jail rather than Iraq and that was that.
He must have REALLY been driving some illicit stuff - like a truck full of panda bears stuffed with cocaine and child porn videos. Because otherwise, the escape plan wouldn't make sense unless he was put away for a long, long time. Which brings me too...
Moral Dilemma # 3: When dabbing tears away from your cheeks when C-Note lovingly talks of his daughter, remember that he was a criminal smuggler in Kuwait and then drove dead pandas who performed sodomy with kids.
As mentioned, the good doctor was as drug addict way back when. She'd steal away into supply closets and shoot up morphine and who knows what else. She was a(n attractive) mess. She also had a doofy druggie boyfriend who benefited from her thievery of the hospital's drugs and the two of them enjoyed stumbling down the snowy streets of Chicago together.
Stumbling high down snowy streets is always fun until someone breaks their neck AND presumably has an eye poked out. Yup, a little boy was hit by a car on his bike and even though Sarah was a doctor, she was so high she couldn't help the kid out. I know the feeling - but no need to get into EdHill's meth-fueled all male hotel parties, now is there?
As a result, Tancredi entered rehab, became cuter, and began leading some of the rehab classes. One of her "students" was none other than Bellick - the asshole prison guard. He was in rehab to break the grip Shamrock Shakes and fries had on him - with apparently no luck. In the funniest part of the show, Bellick asked Tancredi out for a date after clueing her in on a doctor job opening at the prison: "I got a gift card for the Red Lobster over off the interstate." Just an awesome line of dialogue - it wasn't just any old Red Lobster (a joint an elitist foodie snob like me would never step foot in) but it was the specific Red Lobster "off the interstate." And, he had a gift card! Needless to say, Tancredi turned him down in deference to, "brushing up my resume." Ouch. Which reminds me of a Seinfeld joke (I think)... Ladies, if you want to bang a guy and that guy says he can't because he has to get up early for work the next morning, um, that dude ain't into you. Trust me. Which brings me to...
Moral Dilemma # 4: Am I a dick for revealing that? Eh, we married guys are such cockblockers sometimes.
Finally, one prisoner's story that reveals him to be a fully guilty prick who deserves to rot in prison. Despite his overt creepiness, T-Bag ("Teddy" in the outside world) was dating a rather normal woman with two children. On date night, T showed up at the door with dinner from Mularkeys and all was going swimmingly.
