Oh, Mahone. So he's got Wyatt tied up and is shoving a 5-inch hypodermic needle right down into his fingertip. Like, way down. And apparently this is like the super extra most pain sensitive place ever. Wyatt's testicles disagree but remain silent. Anyway, he's got Wyatt hooked up to the heart monitor from the ambulance so if Wyatt dares to like, actually start to die from the pain, the battery will shock his heart back into consciousness. They teach you some cool shit at the FBI! So eventually Mahone convinces Wyatt that he might as well just do what Mahone wants. He calls Pam, puts the phone in front of Wyatt, and makes her say he's sorry. She doesn't look like she feels a whole lot better, and neither does Mahone really.
T-Bag has an idea that will kill two birds with one stone: He bullies Booberella into doctoring his fake sales records to show Andy's name, thereby sullying the reputation of a smarmy but perfectly nice dead guy to get the cops off his back, and as a bonus, T-Bag himself is off the hook for Cole Pfeiffer's faked sales reports, so he can keep his cool new job if this whole multimillion dollar data heist thing doesn't work out! Genius. He's all, "Mr. White, I'm so sorry to have to tell you this, but check it out, Andy's sales figures were totally wonky. Looks like he was secretly a crook. Probably why he took off without explanation. So sad." He actually literally says the words "placate the po-po." Awesome.
"It's not a tooomah! No, wait, it almost certainly is."
Sucre has blowtorched a pipe-sized hole into the water main, and Michael, who's still weak and wobbly, tells him to make another identical one on the other side. Presumably the idea is to thread the giant pipe through it before the water comes back on, giving them a cool little tunnel into the Company. When the blowtorch runs out of juice, Michael helps him sledgehammer the rest of the whole, even though MichaelVision shows us that he can barely see straight. Linc and Bellick arrive with about ten minutes left, and, as the bulkier gentlemen, volunteer to step inside the water main to help thread the pipe through. Oh no, I wonder if something will happen to one of them, and which one it will happen to!
"How's Emmie?" Baldy asks Gretchen, and iww, wait! Is that the kid we know Gretchen's sister is raising? The one who's actually Gretchen's? Iwwww! She says she didn't come here to listen to him pretend to care about her. She already pretended to care about her for like ten minutes just a few days ago, so that's taken care of. She says she's a free agent, she could work for anybody, so what's his offer? He shows her how the Laos dress rehearsal went just swimmingly, so things are about to get awesome. He wants her, not his other hot maybe-kind-of girlfriend Lisa, by his side as his Number Two. Huh huh.
Mahone takes bloody Wyatt out to the wharf, marching him to the water's edge with the gun Pam brought him. Wyatt's hands are tied to a cement block. "You and I are the same, Alex," Wyatt starts. "We've both done things..." **splooooosh!** Mahone, awesomely, doesn't even let him get any further into that speech, and he doesn't have any dramatic last monologue for him, and he doesn't even use the gun. He just shoves him over the edge mid-sentence. Glug glug. Wyatt go byebye. Thank goodness Prison Break enforces a strict one-drowning-death-per-episode policy!
I don't have a joke, I just thought this crane shot was gorgeous.
So okay, Gretchen and Lisa seem to be fighting over the affections of big wrinkly bald gross General, and that's just disturbing. All the Cardholders come back in and after he tells everyone Gretchen is cool, Lisa is pleased to announce that they can have Scylla moved tomorrow. But now that Michael and Linc are gone - Gretchen seems to believe this new information - there's no need. Baldy's like, eh, let's do it anyway, just in case.

Loula,
I am so glad you are back! I missed you! Hope nothing too terrible happended to keep you away....although the election is certainly a good enough reason! In fact the only entertainment reading I have done over the last two weeks is come to tvgasm to look for you! Loved this episode. Big Kudos to WW. And his character did redeem himself in a big way. I am becoming quite obsessed with speculating where they are taking this michael/brain tumor thing. Thought I read that Matt Olmstead envisioned the series as going for 4 or 5 seasons, so maybe this one will be it....anyway.
After such an intense week, thanks for posting! I am glad to see you back!

You're right that Fox is ruining the suspense by saying "someone will die this week on Prison Break"--it was in the TV listings that way, too (I'm guessing that comes from the network). As soon as I heard that, I thought, "Bellick." After they killed Roland, he was the lowest in the character hierarchy.
It also ruined the suspense for this week, because they DIDN't say someone would die, so there was no question about it when Sucre stepped on that mine.
