Enjoy it, cause this is gonna have to tide you over till freaking February. At least.
So yeah, did we forget to tell you earlier this was the Fall Finale? Well it is now! Whistler hasn't been entirely honest about who he is, which surprises no one except Sofia. Linc whoops some ass, Mahone totally blows it, and even armed helicopters can't break Whistler out of Sona. But someone makes it out!
3.08 Bang & Burn. It looks like just another day at Sona, complete with a Spanish-language version of "Don't Fear The Reaper." The DJ at Sona LOVES 70s rock, and I love him for it. Seriously, I kind of want them to release a soundtrack. Anyway, oh my god, T-Mac is wearing a buttondown and khakis cause his dad is coming to visit, and it's so freaking cute. Michael is distracted at first, but even though he's had the absolute worst day ever, he finds some tiny bit of energy to humor him. "You look sharp," he says, and sort of pats him on the shoulder and even smiles a little. Aw.
So these fence visits are going to be a little awkward from now on, huh. We can see workers reinforcing the bars on the cell windows behind Michael as he stoically asks about LJ, who Linc says is alive. "They've given us four more days" Linc says, to which Michael replies "good," then turns around to walk away. Linc stops him to say that there were three body bags at the rendezvous point yesterday: LJ, Michael, Linc. So I guess it's a good thing it didn't work. But Michael's had some time to get angry. "You lied." He accuses Linc, simply. Well, when you put it that way... Linc tries to explain that he couldn't tell him, but Michael says that first of all, LJ is his nephew, and he would do anything for him, and he can't believe Linc would think he wouldn't. And secondly, "You used me. I guess you and the Company have something in common." Oooh, low blow, Emo Michael.
Retchin, née Snoozin, is surprised to find a guest in her hotel room: General Baldy! Sans his Mysterious Writing Pad Of Mysterious Mystery! Apparently his freakish paranoia about being recorded doesn't go as far as Panama. It's kind of awesome, because she's obviously scared shitless and awaiting the ass-chewing of a lifetime. He comments on what a huge mess this has become, and she clarifies that it was a mess before she got there. He agrees, and says it's time to clean it up. "We're ending this today," he tells her. She reminds him that that option was analyzed and not only is it dangerous, it's nearly impossible given the time frame. He's wondering now if he hired the right person, but she says she's doing her job when she tells him to reconsider. And he's doing his job when he sics his thugs on her, who hold her down while he gets up real close and tells her she better get it done or he'll make what happened in Mosul feel like a massage. Wow, that's a pretty awful thing to say, even to Retchin.
"I've kind of been out of the loop lately - whatever happened to that smarmy Asian kid?"
Whistler is at the fence telling Retchin he can't do it if she keeps coming to Sona. She says it doesn't matter cause they're going with the "Bang & Burn." Whistler says that's suicide; he might get killed if they do it that way. "And I might get killed if we don't!" She hisses. She's on the right side of the fence, so she wins. She says to be ready by five; "everybody goes." "What about Scofield?" he wonders. She says - surprise! - to kill him.

Awesome recap as always. I'll certainly miss these more than the show!
Sadly, it was a body double the unleashed the hot back nakedness on our retinas, not Wentworth's. Le sigh.

Ha! It's good to know that I'm not the only one who enjoys my fake words. I believe I have also used the words "asshattery" and "suckitude" here.
And I thought it might be a double, especially once I was watching frame by frame to get that screencap. But either way, what was the point of flashing those if he was just going to put on the exact same shirt? That whole sequence confused me, but maybe it'll make sense in February, or whenever the hell this whole thing is over with.

Does anyone know what T-Mac did to get into Sona?

Loula, I heard making up words is a sign of genius.
Gigglesgirlee, I heard T-Mac is in Sona for stealing "Cutest Sidekick Ever" (and my heart) from Sucre.
From the recap:
"Lechero says that who he calls and who calls him is none of Sammy's damn bidness. Sammy is acting so much like a girlfriend he might as well ask if his Fabio vest makes his butt look big."
Ha! And I think Sammy is planning a coup against Lechero. Notice Sammy didn't just bring in one new guy, but the new guy's whole crew. That officially outnumbers Lechero's crew. Hmm...
