Previously on Prison Break: Michael and Link parted ways with the other escapees. Sucre found out that his girlfriend Maricruz was being stolen away from him by a guy named Hector. C-Note told his family that he's coming home. Michael and Link lost their escape car and all of their gear. Dr. Tancredi was revealed as a cleaned-up junkie, and then as a no-longer-cleaned-up junkie. Michael talked to Nika, the stripper he married to get her a green card, and Bellick questioned her. The Secret Service dude asked President Patricia Wettig whom he's working for, and she said he's working for her. Bellick got fired and then decided to go after the reward money instead of killing himself. Westmoreland told Michael about the hidden money in Utah. And finally, Michael and Link escaped after failing to bust L.J. out of the courthouse, but then Link couldn't run anymore, because he'd been shot in the leg.
Whew! That's a lot of previouslys. Know who we didn't see? T-Bag. Also, no sign of Tweener and sweet young cannon-fodder Debra Jean. This week's show opens with Agent Mahone still standing outside the courthouse, wondering which brother got shot and leaked the pool of blood on the ground in front of him. Mahone thinks back to a conversation that he had earlier with Ms. Lang, a woman working in the command center that's been set up to track the escapees. She told him that if Michael and Link seek medical attention, they'll be caught. As for the other escapees, they don't seem to have killed anybody yet. Mahone remembers telling Ms. Lang that escapees always make mistakes.
Cut to the apartment of Michael's pseudo-wife, Nika. There's some frantic knocking; she opens the door and lets in Michael and a wounded Link. Michael asks her for cayenne pepper, rubbing alcohol, towels, and painkillers. Link asks for booze. Mm, sounds like a delicious recipe. Michael does some amateur doctoring and apologizes to Nika for coming there; he says he knows that it wasn't part of their deal for the green card, but he had no choice. She says she's been worried about him, and the police have already visited her. Michael announces that he's going to retrieve their getaway car. Link tells him not to; they can get another one. But Michael says that only that car will do, because it contains everything they need for their escape. I wonder what he's got in there. My bet is: directions to the city of Utah, and plenty of needles and tattoo ink so that he doesn't forget his own name on the way there.
Michael leaves the apartment and goes to the place where he and Link had to abandon the car, outside of the hardware store. The car is no longer there, duhviously. Remember how the police were swarming all over that car the last time you saw it, Michael? Well, I'm predicting that they impounded it. Yeesh. However, there's a bunch of broken glass where the car used to be parked, so I guess maybe now we're supposed to think that it was stolen. Michael examines a piece of broken glass and then checks out a bar code on his wrist. Oh wow, if a person gets tattooed with a bar code, will it be scannable at the grocery store? That would be pretty cool. I wonder if Michael is priced by the pound. Mm, Grade A Wentworth Miller. Where was I?
Mahone is back in the command center. Some guy brings him a backpack that the police just recovered. It looks like somebody did steal a bunch of the stuff that was in Michael's car - we see cell phones and fake passports. Michael's name on his fake passport is "Phineas McClintock," for those who care about such things. Mahone says that Michael has just made his first mistake.
After a commercial break, Bellick is in a convenience store shopping for beer and jerky. He becomes irate when they don't have teriyaki-flavored turkey jerky, and he makes the clerk go in the back to look for some. The clerk has the security guard come over to man the cash register, and Bellick's eyes pop out when he sees that the security guard is Geary - the prison guard who just ratted him out and got him fired. Bellick punches Geary and they start to full-on fight. Of course, all TV directors love fights in convenience stores, because you get to have the combatants knock over the racks of junk food, and that makes a nice satisfying crashing sound.

Amanda, what do you make of the FBI agent's pill problem? What type of pill do you think it is and why do you think he takes it? This is an angle that I'm excited to see play out. I'm also anxious to find out who Walter Shales is. Anybody have any theories as to how he ties into the story?

The body parts blown up in the car will turn out to be those of the "nasty bottom-feeder" Walter Shales. Mahone will be all like, "Touche Scofield, touche" when the DNA analysis comes back. Shales will turn out to be Mahone's long time nemesis that he never caught.
This will prompt Mahone to look at Scofield in a new "anti-hero" light and will begin to open up the doors to redemption via Mahone.
However, the blue pill problem will be something the evil corrupt G-Men use against him, because they will paint him as a pill popper or a mental case (which he takes pills for.)
These are all guesses, mind you. Hell, I'm just hoping that T-Bag's hand turns gangrenous and kills him in a long, slow, painful, lonely death. That's the only way that storyline can redeem itself.
Thanks for handling the show, Amanda.

Maybe those are his heart pills and if he doesn't take them, he dies?

Michael purposely used his credit card & made the voice mail traceable. He wanted the cops to find out, trace the cell signal and find his faked death. Of the many logic gaps in the show, I don't think that was one of them. There was also a moment showing him stopping Lincoln from using the radio, by claiming it didn't work.
I was curious about how he either (a) got fresh body parts or (b) kept old body parts fresh while he was in the slammer. Vacuum pack? The stripper's freezer? Not a logic gap necessarily, just wondering if they'll explain it.
I like sg-dub's theory about the body parts. Despite all my bitching about inconsistencies, I love this show.
Oh, and personally, I think the pills are adderall. Focus, Mahone, focus!

This show isn't about a prison break. It's about medical marvels. These people are speed-healing freaks of nature. First, Michael loses a little piggy, limps for a nanosecond and presto, good to go. Then we have Abruzzi's neck getting sliced in half. Dead? Hell no, just a scratch. Lose a hand, T-Bag? Pfft, no problemo...just jog down to your local vet and have him sew it back on. A little over-dose never hurt anyone. Dr. Tancredi needs only to use a wetnap to wipe off the spittle, grab a couple of z's in the hospital and she's good as new. Lincoln gets shot in the leg. With a pinch of cayenne pepper and a swig of whiskey, he can, oh, PUSH A FUCKING CAR OVER A CLIFF!
At least I can take comfort that Duckface's bullet to the brain is still keeping her out of the game...for now.

Um, me thinks the old convict nobody knows anything about is named Oscar Shales, not Walter.
I thought for sure Scofield was gonna drop the flesh hammer on Nika while visiting, I mean after several months in prison I'd think that would be high on the priority list upon escape.
Link's suddenly healed leg is not even worth mentioning. They just didn't show it, but Scofield probably referenced to his tat with a code about how to remove .22 bullets using a home remedy.
Man I love this show.

I dunno, it seems that Scofield and Link are too easily found. How did Bellick track him down, via his 'girlfriend'?
I don't see how the Horatio Sanz character knew anything useful to Bellick. He was late to the party, and there would be no point telling him any post-escape plans. Besides, wasnt' he scheduled for parole real soon?

I know how this show will end. All to the escapees, Michael, Link, T-bag, Sucre, Tweener, etc. will meet up in the city of Utah, where they will proceed to a giant W made out of palm trees to dig up the money that Spencer Tracy, I mean DB Cooper, buried. (This giant W is of course tatooed on Michael's back.) The FBI guy will chase them but drive over his hat in the street. Then Ethel Merman, Phil Silvers, Joey Bishop, Milton Berle, Buddy Hacket, Jonathan Winters, Dick Shawn and other big stars show up. Madcappery ensues. T-bag makes off with the suitcase full of money, but while being chased by the Three Stooges on a hook-n-ladder, his sewn on hand finally falls off and the money goes flying all over the city of Utah. The end. Believe me, the way this show is going, it would just about fit.

Oops...guess I can't read. I meant Oscar. I have no clue where the name Walter came from! Thanks for catching that, fulfill_the_dream_78.

I love how all the cops on this show, except the FBI guy of course, are bumbling idiots! Sucre managed to get out of the car w/o the motorcycle cop seeing him...heaven help the good people that live in Defiance, OH...the Keystone Cops are on patrol.
Has anyone seen the movie GO!.....all I think about when I see Mahone is AMWAY...I can't take this guy seriously.
The level of re-donkulousness on this show would be intolerable without the accompanying re-caps! It makes watching the idiocy worthwhile, that and Wentworth Miller of course.
But kudos to the whole Rainbow Room thing - for the first time in a long time a plot twist that was believable!
