So while this is going on, while T-Mac is about to tell his dad about the bad people after his friend, Whistler is standing right next to him talking to Sofia about the same bad people. Whistler tells her that whatever she does, she is to stay away from Linc. It's not safe to be around him. He's scared and sort of choked up. "Just go home and stay there, and I will call you tonight." She's all, wait, what? You trade sexual favors for an iPhone or something? But he just says to promise, and she does. Then she takes a breath and tells him she got a call from a guy saying he's his landlord at another apartment. Should she call him back? He's like, oh, I have no idea what he's on about!" And she's kind of heartbroken. She gave him a chance to come clean but he didn't take it.
Papi has a birthday present. It's T-Mac's birthday! Aw. He doesn't want to see it, and Papi says he'll put it with the others. Papi gives good Brave Face, let me tell you, but T-Mac says "I'm not coming home. Accept that." I want to hug him so bad.
T-Mac, like his namesake, is cute in his jersey but downright adorable in his street clothes.
Linc gets a call. It's T-Mac Sr, saying he has a message for him: "Don't come home for dinner." Yay Papi! Good hustle. Linc recognizes it immediately as a code phrase he and Michael used when they were kids; Michael's telling him to watch his back. Which comes a little late, because we see that there are other people watching Linc's back, and also his front, most notably, Sweaty Guy, who calls Retchin to confirm he's got him in his sights. Sofia shows up at this exact wrong moment: "Why haven't you returned my calls or my car?" she demands kind of hilariously. Sweaty Guy asks Retchin if she has "a directive" re: Sofia, and she says "I warned her. Take them all out."
Sofia finally gets it across to Linc that a woman followed her to James' secret identity's secret apartment and threatened her. He realizes it's Snoozin/Retchin, and when Sucre tells her she's the one who has LJ, she becomes suitably alarmed. She tells Linc about the Gary Miller passport, and Linc impatiently reminds her that he told her from the start that Whistler was full of shit, but she confesses that James told her to stay away from Linc today. Now that's two "watch your ass, baldy" warnings in a row, and Linc looks around and realizes he's kind of a sitting duck. As Sweaty Guy and his backups prepare to just shoot them all down in broad daylight, Linc calls Lechero's phone and asks to speak to Michael, but Sammy hangs up on him. Sammy then immediately starts giving Lechero shit about it, all "why is Scofield's brother calling you?" 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.
Sweaty Guy corners Sofia first, holding his gun to her and asking where her friends are. She's all damsel in distressy, which gives Linc the opportunity to answer him with a gun to his sweaty back. "Why are you coming after us?" Linc shouts, but Sucre has brought a large pipe into the equation and his only answer is a few punches. And you guys, Linc is SO. BADASS. His coup de grace? Smashing one guy's head clean through a car window. By this time Sweaty Guy has Sofia at gunpoint "Different day, same problem!" he taunts. Now didn't Linc learn a lesson from when he was in this situation with LJ? Linc says yes, as a matter of fact he did learn a lesson, and just shoots the guy right in the head. Which he probably wishes he'd done yesterday, but still, awesome.

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...
