On the way out of the museum, Michael et al are all searched. No weapons are found, but they do find an arrowhead in Whistler's pocket. The one Michael stole from the gift shop. Heh. Gretchen irritably points out that it's plastic, and could they please just get out of there, but the cops are suddenly interested in Whistler and where his identification is. Gretchen motions to one of her guys and he moves in to shoot, but a museum guard tackles him as his gun goes off and his aim is wonky. Sofia is caught in the crossfire, one to the chest. Linc runs for her, and despite LJ's reasonable pleas for him to let the ambulance take care of her for now so they can get away from all these cops, he gets all manly and protective and won't leave her side. Way to treat your firstborn you've spend the entire season trying to reunite with, Linc. Sheesh. LJ finally convinces Linc that he'll take care of Sofia while Linc gets the hell out of Dodge, at least while there are cops around.
Whistler follows Gretchen back to her Kidnappin' Van, then suddenly explodes and grabs her by the neck. "I ought to kill you right now for what you've done!" he yells, and is he talking about Sofia, or whatever secret crap they've been up to, or what? "I did what I had to do to get you out! Period!" She screams. She adds that he should remember what's at stake here. What? What's at stake? Why does it involve bird books and Panama? Meanwhile, Michael fetches a gun from their car and quietly aims at Gretchen but can't bring himself to shoot her in the back. Or maybe he thinks that would be letting her off easy. Or maybe he thinks her butt looks real cute in those black jeans. He doesn't get a chance to ponder any longer, because shots ring out from the museum steps. The guards have figured out where the first shot came from and are shooting at Gretchen's minions, but they get away, Whistler safely in tow. "Stop the van," he says melodramatically. "I can't leave her. " "She already left you" Gretchen reminds him. Oh, right. She asks him if he has everything, and he sheepishly admits that the book is gone. Wrong answer, James!
T-Bag meets with our old friend Sister Mary Puta. Good to see you, Sister! The first thing she does is confirm that Lechero is in fact dead. T-Bag says yes, and flights of angels sing him to his rest and all that, but he leaves out the part about the pillow-smothering. She has a giant bag of money and he tells her he just needs what he asked for, and to save the rest for later. He warns her politely that she might want to reconsider if she's thinking about taking off with the rest of the money, as he has been known to have a bit of a temper problem when betrayed. She says a deal's a deal; he's done so much for her. Then, inexplicably, she puts her hand up to the fence and tenderly touches his fake rubber hand. I guess it's not the grossest thing she's had to touch in her line of work. Maybe not even the grossest thing today. She says she'll wait for him. Iww.
The McGradys pull into an alley somewhere in Colombia. T-Mac looks a little scared as his Papa opens a door...into a huge beautiful courtyard full of McGradys and a big "Bienvenido Luis" banner. Mama McGrady, from whom T-Mac inherited his springy curls, bounces joyfully up to hug him. T-Mac looks kind of surprised but overjoyed. Brothers and cousins and whatnot all settle in for a nice big group hug. Awww.

Ah, how I hope pleasegodplease that your version of the ending comes true. From some Sara/Michael lovin' right down to Bellick getting grounded.
According to TVGuide.com, a fourth season is looking very possible. Half, full, who knows, but either way we'll *hopefully* get some answers.

I love how Bellick was such a mean ass guard in Season 1 and now he's such a total wussbag!
And poor Sucre, I was so worried they were going to kill him. They can't kill Sucre off the show, ever!
When Michael had the gun pointed at Gretchen I was jumping up and down yelling shoot her! Shoot her!!!
I'm dying to find out what happens. I really hope somewhere out there are the remaining episodes to this season. They can't just leave us with 13!!!
And no way is Sarah dead. She just can't be. I think they found a look alike and cut her head off to make us all believe it was Sarah.

Wow, duckncvr, thanks! I can't believe I missed that, and now that I think about it it makes that ending seventeen times sadder.
Also, josef, ha, your laughter made me laugh out loud. I concur that "shitting bees" is completely hilarious, and props to my friend Brian for getting me started saying it. Now go and spread it around the world!
