The currently remaining Fox River Four are exulting over the big pile of cash they've just found. T-Bag explains that he's going to take his share to Bangkok to get some illicit plastic surgery and mix and mingle with trannies. John Mark Karr shout-out, perhaps? Anyway, we can add trannies to the list of people to whom T-Bag is attracted. C-Note points out that if T-Bag gets a hand transplant in Thailand, he'll probably end up with an Asian hand on his white-supremacist body. Interesting point, although I'd be inclined to guess that your typical black-market plastic-surgery chop shop would have a decent selection of parts available. While the guys are chuckling over this, a car approaches the house. Looks like it's Tweener, with Mahone watching from nearby.
Tweener has a flashback of Michael being nice to him back in prison. He feels guilty. As he rings the doorbell, he looks about as shady as, well, John Mark Karr at a Little Miss Whatever pageant. I have to think that even if our, er, heroes didn't already know from the radio that Tweener had been arrested, they'd be just a mite suspicious of him showing up two hours late, ringing the doorbell, and looking like someone is applying a cattle prod to his genitalia.
And then, after the commercial - whoa! Big surprise! The person who answers the door is ... Debra Jean. So Tweener has just taken Mahone for a ride. I actually did not see that coming at all. Well played, Tweener, well played. He thanks Debra Jean for helping him out that day at the motel. Um, way to get her charged with aiding and abetting, Mr. Wearing A Wire. Mahone realizes immediately that something is rotten in the State of Denmark, and he comes running, gun in hand. Oh, dear, this isn't going to end well. About 90 trillion police cars pull up, to Debra Jean's mild alarm. Tweener gives himself up and tells Debra Jean that he'll write to her. She smiles. Honey, if you still like this guy, you've got some serious issues. Mahone looks pissed.
Having a boyfriend is the awesomest!
So, the car that pulled up to Casa Convicts was actually some random guy scheduled to take Old Whore to the club. Michael intercepts him out front, claims to be a contractor, and says that Old Whore already left for the club on her own. The guy believes him and drives away. Sucker.
Tweener, back in the car with Mahone, apologizes for playing him. Mahone is not amused at all. He pulls over in an extremely remote location and tells Tweener to stretch his legs. They both get out of the car. This seems, well, like kind of a bad idea on Tweener's part. Bad Idea Jeans, even.
Evil Agent Kellerman and Asian Guy are having a phone conversation about why L.J. is being released. Essentially, it's so that L.J. can serve as bait, to which I say, duh. Evil Agent Kellerman then says that Tancredi's death was not part of the plan. Also Evil Asian Guy points out that Kellerman has killed plenty of people along the way, so what's the big deal about this one? Kellerman says that he was all about helping Caroline become president, but now that she is, enough with the body count already. Evil Asian says that staying in power is even harder than getting into power, so if more people have to die, then whatevs. He says that Governor Tancredi was a liability and had to be rubbed out. Oh, and by the way, Sara is a liability too. With that, Even Eviler Asian Guy hangs up on Kellerman, and by Kellerman's reaction, we can see that he has developed a teeny little soft spot for Sara and doesn't want her to be the next to die.
Sara walks into her apartment, crying over her father. She looks at her mail and there's another origami swan from Michael, but she's too bummed out to open it right now. Suddenly she notices that someone has been in her apartment and has laid out a mouth-watering smorgasbord of drugs on the coffee table, just for her. There are lit candles, rocks of white stuff, scissors, syringes, foil - everything a girl needs for a refreshing, rejuvenating evening at home on the couch. Best of all, there are little bottles of morphine - Sara's favorite! Wow, the person who set this up was really thoughtful.
Hi, I'd like to order Rainy Day Gift Basket #3A for home delivery?

Great re-cap Amanda. The end was crazy, never saw any of it coming. What about Sucre telling all to give him the money? Wow. Great TV. Really. Now I have to wait 3 weeks?? It's just mean!

Maybe there will be a crossover between Prison Break and 24. The hangning senator reminded me of Walt Cummings hanging himself in the hall. Who in the real world would be fooled by such a thing?

Good recap Amanda. I don't think Sucre is turning on his fellow escapees. Something else is up. Wonder what that key is for? Patience, patience.

Look at Big K scoring a product endorsement. Step aside Coke, Kroger brand cola is coming through!
If Michael is so smart, how does he not see that L.J.'s release is a trap?

So how many deaths have there been this season? 5? 6?
If we keep going at this rate the whole cast will be eliminated by mid-December. It's a veritable PrisonBreakicide.

Do they have Kroger out in Utah? It was so weird to see that beverage on TV...this was a good episode. I really want Agent Mahone dead already.

2 points:
1. when Agent Park said "he's as good as dead" the scene cut to LJ to make ppl think he was referring to him. After we found out it wasnt LJ, they went to the Gov tancredi story and showed the outcome there. Park was talking about him. I could be wrong though b/c i forgot how the convesation between kellerman and PArk went, but still it was not a suicide. sara's dad was murdered.
2. sara's apartment is being made to look like she died of an OD (after finding out her father's death). There was a shadow slowly approaching behind her as she knelt by the drugs so that person is going to try to kill her. Wait for Kellerman to come to the rescue.

Only seven comments? Wow, this show MUST be lagging. No longer a viewer, TVGasm is my PB source - great (and funny) recap as always. You don't disappoint.
Whoa, now the FBI guy is a killer? I mean come on, how many times has this show jumped the shark by now? And I forget, sorry for Sara and all that, but do we care today that her dad's been murdered? And puhlease do not make Lance/Killerman go all nice-guy on us. I mean, some suspension of disbelief is ok, but that? Not buying it.

Hm - this is getting a little too Da Vinci Code for me.
Nah, more like Lost. Who are the Others? Who is behind the Dharma Project? What is the monster and why is it there?
I mean, Who is the Company? Who does Kellerman work for? What is Mahone and why is he there (considering he's FBI but it's the US Marshal's job to catch fugitives, not the FBI's)?

I think only real surprise left in this show each week is "Who is going to be suddenly and brutally killed this week?"
