This week on Prison Break: C-Note's okay! Whew. But before he can even change out of his hospital gown he's handed yet another moral dilemma. We finally hear the tape, and in retrospect, I'm totally okay with them saving it for dramatic effect. Also, eeeeek! Michael gets his pretty little face smacked around pretty hardcore by Secret Asian Man. Dr. Sara does triple-duty with Mahone as AA sponsor, physician, and hostage, but he's not as easily fooled as he seems. He's goooood, y'all. Kellerman says nary a word throughout the entire 42 minutes, but he does get a few reaction shots, and if every episode were just Kellerman alternately smirking evilly and playing with guns I would still watch the hell out of it. T-Bag, Bellick and Sucre are all south of the border, down Mexico way, and they all have cartoon dollar signs in their eyes. And wow, there's a really high turnover rate at the Commander-in-Chief level in Prison Break Alternate Universe America. But it's almost certainly not what you think. Anyone who saw this coming gets a cookie, and maybe some therapy.
2.19 "Sweet Caroline." The Previouslies end with C-Note stepping off the bed in his cell, presumably to his death, but they pick up right where they left off. As many of us suspected, C-Note, thanks to a vigilant but tardy guard, is totally not dead. He is, however, wearing some truly distracting sandal/mocassin/slippers with white tube socks.
President Bitchface, AKA Sweet Caroline, is about to give her speech in downtown Chicago. From a nearby ledge, Old-School Kellerman is 100% serious about loading and aiming his bigass gun. That sentence represents the wrongest, hottest twelve seconds of gun porn you're likely to see on network television.
Michael et al are dismissing Cooper Green - there's nothing more he can do, since the rest of their plan involves extra-legal activities - as Mahone runs up ten flights of stairs headed straight for them. Man, that's a lot of stairs. Michael is Off To See The President, and I guess he'll think of a plan on the way there. Linc says if this goes wrong they're going to need a way out, "for good." He suggests Derek Sweeney. Who in the what now? Michael wonders if he'll be up for it. I wonder if I'm supposed to know who he is, and also what the hell everyone's talking about. Michael heads out, and he and Sara agree to meet on the corner of 3rd and Racine at 3:15. Michael: "If anything happens...I love you both." Dr. Sara remains stoic in that "I'm vaguely bemused and also barely holding it together at all times" look Sarah Wayne Callies has perfected this season. (Incidentally, the actress is pregnant, and wow, I hope they find a way to work that in to the script, not only because I would miss her if they wrote her off, but because Dr. Sara so deserves to get so laid, and a pregnancy would force them to arrange that, at least offscreen.) Linc takes off as well, presumably to find Derek.
Mahone reaches their floor and spots a housekeeper blankly pushing her little cart along. He flashes his badge and asks for a key to 1006. She honestly could not react less to this series of events. I guess hotel housekeepers do see pretty much everything; maybe relinquishing room keys to guys with badges is just part of the gig. Dr. Sara hears the door opening and darts off just before Mahone easily kicks the security latch off, gun drawn.
He checks closets and bedrooms in their massive, swanky suite, which let's go ahead and assume Dr. Sara managed to withdraw some cash back when she was Kelli Foster so we can all stop wondering how the hell they're paying for this. Mahone finds no fugitives behind any doors and looks really annoyed for a second, until he figures out that Dr. Sara is hiding under the bed. She looks like she could use some good ole heroin right about now. We get that horror movie POV shot of his loafers approaching, which is always really effective, but he seems to walk away. Dr. Sara climbs out, and I absolutely love the fact that Sara's gigantic purse has played a consistent supporting role throughout the series. It's very charming. She throws her giant bag over her shoulder, heads toward the door, and starts dialing her cell phone, but of course Mahone and his gun are waiting for her. He's visibly annoyed that she's not Michael.

The title of this recap cracked me up. Ok definitely think this was one of the better episodes of the season, and I'm really liking the fact that Sarah is now working with Michael and Linc- makes it more entertaining. Great twist at the end.
My question is, how are they gonna keep this going another YEAR?!?!
