Back at the hideout, Mahone, sadly, has become Exposition Man. It's like they said "okay, we have all this clunky expositional dialogue to get through; let's give it to poor, poor Bill Fichtner because he's the only one who can possibly make it work even a little bit." Doing all the heavy lifting in the home stretch, ladies and gentleman, it's William Fichtner! You were there, and you carried us. Anyway, there's a locked number on the sniper's phone they're going to need the Company's help with - probably Christina's. Baldy has presumably finished killing Stewart, so he calls to yell at Linc that he wants his toy back NOW. T-Bag notices that Linc hangs up without saying "So hey, this is weird, turns out it's Christina Rose, The Mom Not The Boat, who has Scylla. Pretty wacky coincidence, huh?" T-Bag thinks this is information they should be passing on, but Mahone agrees that it's best to keep it to themselves for now. If Baldy knows who has it, he might decide the boys have outlived their usefulness. Again.
Sara, poker-faced, comes out of the bathroom to find Michael working on the Cryptic Handwritten Note he found on the 18-wheeler-hijacky guy. The first part is basically directions on where to intercept Michael. The rest of it has to do with someone with the initials "V.S." (Like the title! Get it?)
The Worst Mom In The Universe is practicing her hello in some Indian dialect when her guy breaks the news that Linc got away. She responds with your standard villain monologue about how they're a day away from a (presumably) metaphorical supernova, and nothing's going to stop her, not even her no-good kids. "Muahahahaha," she adds, twirling her mustache with one hand while stroking a white Persian cat with the other. Not really, but you get the picture.
"Egggcellent. Now be a dear and fetch me a damsel to tie to some railroad tracks, would you?"
Michael texts Linc requesting a meeting at the marina, but Linc is still pouting, so it's Mahone who shows up. Sara has picked up some of Michael's self-righteous prickery, all "oh so you both work for the Company now, is that how it is???" even though she's been defending Linc's decision the past couple episodes. Would you describe that as a...mood swing? Something hormonal perhaps? Eh? Dun! Mahone reminds her that they don't have to choose between saving their families and bringing down the Company, they can do both, especially if they share information. Oh, and by the way, Michael, turns out your mom has the thing we've spent all season looking for, and also, she tried to kill your brother. Just a heads-up. On second thought, keep your heads down, that's a better idea. Mahone out!
So armed with this new information, Michael and Sara head back to Dr. Lady's condo to regroup. It seems reasonable now that the 18-wheeler hijacky guy was in fact sent by his mom, and the next meeting that guy had, according to this Cryptic Handwritten Note, was with this mysterious VS character, so what was he really up to? Sara googles the address on the note (that's what she went to med school for!) and they go check it out. It's a parking garage, where they quickly figure out some of the Cryptic Handwritten numbers look like a parking space number. This whole thing is really cool actually. Because obviously this big fancy car is there waiting for Hijacky Guy. And nobody knows Hijacky Guy is dead, let alone that it's actually Sara and Michael who are retrieving all his cool sneaky evil stuff! There's a briefcase with a phone, a map to a regional airport and a gun. The Cryptic Handwritten Note suggests Hijacky guy was supposed to be there at 4:30 to meet the elusive V.S. With a gun.
