Anyway, Sucre then told Maricruz that he'd meet her in an airport exactly a week from that day and that they could go off together and yada yada yada. It was pretty obvious that this entire message would never get to her, especially because in the very next scene, an angry Hector (hisss!!!) barged into Theresa's home in search of Maricruz. Oh papi! She's already left for Ixtapa! Next time, be muy rapido!
Amazingly, Hector did not hear the voicemail (yet), but I'm sure we will not have seen the last of him. Meanwhile, over at their new motel room, Tancredi lovingly tended to Michael's wounds. At long last, would we be finally seeing some hot Tancredi-on-Scoffield action? It is sweeps, after all.
Sadly, they just continued to yammer on about how to get out of their predicament. Michael said he had people at the border who would help them. "One more day, Sara. One more day. That's all I'm asking," he pleaded. Yes, one more day. We'll see how that works out...
Back in Colorado, Grandpa met LJ, or as he's formally known, Lincoln Jr.. Blah. Amusingly, Lincoln's dad's name was... Aldo. That's right. Grandpa Aldo Burrows. Shockingly, he did not moonlight as an old Italian barber.
Anyway, Lincoln insisted that they had to leave and cross the border, follow Michael's plan, etc. Aldo disagreed. There was evidence to take down The Company! They just needed more time! But for now, there was no need to run. No need whatsoever.
Unfortunately, what none of them realized was that the guy who deigned to look at Lincoln earlier was none other than a mole for the Asian guy. Doh! And he was just told to kill Aldo, Lincoln, and LJ. Uh oh! Odds of Dad dying? 3-2. Odds of Lincoln surviving with the blond girl and a small lead towards the evidence? 1-1.
Before we could see how that situation resolved itself, we then went back to T-Bag, who was still trying to save himself, even as the sirens of police cars neared the house. With no other recourse, T-Bag began pulling aggressively at his hand. Yes, it looked like was gonna tear his arm off. We didn't see if this gruesome possibility came to fruition, however, because we then went back to Michael's motel. Apparently, Sara had decided enough was enough. She had disappeared while he was in the shitter. Sara did leave a parting note, saying "This time, I know better." (It was a reference to an addiction conversation they had earlier). Well, Michael looked absolutely devastated, and I was kind of hoping Sara would come back in, saying, "Yeah, I just went to get a different soda. I know better than to drink Mr. Pib."
Sadly, Sara didn't return. She actually went out to her car, sat in the driver's seat, and almost left, but then she had a change of heart. Maybe she should stick with Michael. Yeah, that's the spirit! Go back to Michael! Unfortunately, when she stepped out of the car, a gun was pointed right at her face. Yes, Kellerman had magically tracked her down, and just like that, the episode ended.
What did you think about this episode? Fun? Exciting?

Hey B-Side, how about you recap like every episode of every show on here? I mean no disrespect to any other writers, they are great and keep me coming back, but you are MJ to their Charles Barkley.
P.S. - If you no longer need to avoid "Saw" then netflix "Hostel"...that should make you grimace/puke.

I enjoyed this recap almost as much as I enjoy this show. Maybe it's the total hotness of Wentworth Miller but I LOVE this show.
Anyway, I thought Tancredi was ripping the wiring out of Mahone's car so he couldn't chase them.
And I'd like to nominate 'Dick' as the worst nickname ever... but 'Link' is definitely up there.

b-side, this was hilarious. none of the previous recaps have captured the sublime absurdity of 'prison break,' a show where logic and reason have been out to lunch for so long that it wouldn't surprise me if people started pulling off rubber masks (a-HA!! it was you all along!!). t-bag's magic hand has to take the prize for 'biggest insult to the viewers' intelligence,' right behind the implication that wentworth miller likes girls.
one minor correction: the key sarah tancredi was fondling did not come from michael, but, rather, was discovered by sarah on the floor of her father's office when she found him hanging by the neck from his own belt (conveniently, the dastardly minions of E-vil president elliot's-annoying-wife-from-thirtysomething are clever enough to mastermind a fake suicide by the governor of illinois and nominee for vice president, but failed to notice a stray safety deposit box key on the freakin' FLOOR when they were wiping the room for prints).
last season was just as ludicrous, but somehow more believable (or, at least, enjoyable). maybe leaving behind the prison setting is part of the problem; maybe it's just that michael scofield is sort of turning out to be a bit of a second-rate super-genius, what with all of the clumsy slip-ups and bone-headed plays.
ah, well. it'll have to do until '24' gets started.

I keep telling myself not to get hung up on the logic lapses, but the whole "meet me in one hour" and "the fax came in 20 minutes ago" thing was painful. Sometimes I think the writers aren't just careless, they are actually fucking with us.
That being said, I think carabiner is right, Sarah was disabling Mahone's car.
I'm enjoying how much trouble Scofield is having this season. It's nice to see hime struggle a bit more with how he can't control everything, while still coming up with his Wile. E. Coyote plans. I really liked the hotel scene between him and Sarah where she called him on how much he got off on it.
Oh, and someone please kill off Sucre. I will never, ever, care about his plotline.

Wait, did Christmas come early this year? B-Side recapping TV's most ludicrously entertaining show? Sweet.

I have to read these re-caps every week to remind me what happened. I don't pay much attention to the show. I only watch for Wentworth ~swoon~

I don't even watch the show anymore. My head was about to explode with rage at the illogical plot twists. But I confess I come here to TVG for solace and companionship. This week it's a special treat, having the mighty B-Side do the recap himself. Amanda improved over Umnata (I think it was him), and now B-Side brings his unique style and super sharp snark to what is easily the dumbest show on TV. So dumb that people watch just to rail at it.
So, come on in and stay a while, B-Side. We like your style.

Fox sent us an advance screener of tonight's show. I won't spoil anything, obvs, but there is some ridiculous, ridiculous shit in there. Like, it makes NO sense.
All I have to say is: slow-mo shell drop.

The recap was great B-side. I agree, the show just makes you totally suspend belief. Everyone gets away at just the right moment. So many chances, more than 9 lives. And yet, I still watch.

I'm trying to guess what the big 'secret' will be that they keep hinting at in the commercials. If it's not totally ridiculous, then it wouldn't be PB. No other show has me on the edge of my seat one minute and laughing at how ridiculous it is the next. I love it!!
