2.18 "Wash." Michael, Linc, and Sara are poised breathlessly over a laptop, listening to...nothing. I mean, we see oscilloscope type graphics that tell us they're listening to something but we don't get to hear it. We know essentially what it is (Aldo reminds us in the Previouslies that it's a phone call between Steadman and Bitchface weeks after he's supposed to be dead) but there seems to be more to it than they expected, if Sara's reaction is any indication. As we all know, Michael's reaction is rarely an indication of anything. He just looks sort of squinty and hot. Everyone stares at the screen, mouths agape. It should be noted that Sara still looks fantastic in that same sweater, Linc looks quite handsome and even has his shirt buttoned, and Michael is still wearing the absolute least flattering $7 grey sweatshirt ever.

Mahone is briefing his minions. They're halfway done! Four down, four to go! And Sucre was "almost apprehended " in Mexico, according to Lang. He narrows his eyes and opens his mouth to snark at her, but he's interrupted by the sight of Bellick in the doorway. Mahone excuses himself to take care of his Junkyard Dog, who's all "Bitch better have my money!" Mahone reminds him that Bellick was supposed to stay under the radar, and that barging in to a roomful of federal agents is pretty much the exact opposite of stealthy. Bellick responds by threatening to "drop trou," cause he's classy like that. He makes a big show of putting his boots up on Mahone's desk, and Mahone responds by pausing for a moment then kicking Bellick's feet right off. Heh. He keeps one loafer grinding down on Bellick's boot and carefully says that he'll get his damn reward money for Haywire, but there is some paperwork and it might take more than a couple of days, for heaven's sake. Also, Bellick might want to study up on "under the radar" if he wants to see that cash, or, for that matter, "another sunrise." Oooh. Oh, and speaking of cash, would Bellick perhaps like to earn some more?

Linc has his thinking face on, and it looks like it might hurt a little. They can't take the tape to the press; it'll just get buried like their last attempt. Michael remembers that Aldo had some people on the inside, so Linc decides to call Jane, you know, the pretty blonde lady from Aldo's gang who's been taking care of LJ all this time. Oh right! LJ! Anyway, Linc knows she can help, and Michael hopes so, cause this is their last shot. Honestly, Michael, this is like your 17th Last Shot. I'm sure there will be more.

Kellerman is in a trailer park or something, buying a bigass rifle out of the trunk of a car. Nice. I love how Kellerman is not out of place anywhere - like he buys firearms out of car trunks so much he's almost bored. The totally legitimate salesman talks it up, careful to mention that the serial number has been shaved off and the barrel sanded down to throw off ballistics, on the off chance that Kellerman plans on shooting anything more felonious than tin cans. Kellerman says he's hunting bigger game. Bigger, blonder, Bitchfacier game. He's all "wrap it up!" He's sort of farting around in the trunk, which the guy doesn't notice cause he's counting his giant wad of cash. He also fails to notice that Kellerman is actually loading a handgun with a silencer. And wow, this show has made me a horrible person, because when Kellerman just unceremoniously turns and plugs him right in the heart - Pyyyeoow! - I say "Oh-ho-ho yeah!" out loud. It's shameful.

Please tell me that Michael the genius was smart enough to make backup copies of the tape.

If they try to pull the "OMG our only copy of the recording just got corrupted" crap like 24 did last year, I swear I'm gonna kill someone.

Loula :

Yeah, I was hoping for a montage scene of Michael, Linc and Sara buying up every single CD and memory stick in the metro Chicago area and feverishly duplicating it for hours, then renting like 300 safe deposit boxes. Let's just pretend that happened offscreen!

I think Pope might have a copy though. I mean, it can't be an impossibly huge file, all he'd have to do is email himself the damn thing from that laptop in the cigar bar. I'll go ahead and pretend that happened offscreen too.

StreetHassle :

Michael's genius only kicks in on illogical and impractical levels. If you're stuck on a barren island, he'll jerry-rig your broken cell phone to send out Morse Code to passing ships. If you're lost on the metro, instead of looking at the map, he'll pull one of those 'If the blue line departed at 4:30 ...and the orange line departed at 4:45...than at 5:20 they'll run parallel through the Smithsonian stop...from whence I was created in a test tube...Louise Brown has nothing on me..."

the season is almost over & yet it feels like nothing has even happened.

best scene this year def. has to be haywire taking a nose dive.

that barely tops likey some Kaley Cuoco in the trailer trash outfit.
