Prison Break is back and it's the home stretch! The Michael/Sara ship sails, but in a much more literal and significantly less sweaty sense than many of us had anticipated. Bellick and Sucre team up to find T-Bag, who finds himself a surrogate Suzie Q. Who in turn finds herself dead in a bathtub. Wheeler recruits C-Note, who is all kinds of ready to tattle on Mahone, and see what you get for giving a black man a noose during Black History Month, Mahone? And get this: No Kellerman. I mean, not even a dialogue-free gun porn cameo like last time, just a total lack of any Kellerman whatsoever. But don't worry - we get a real live yelling/wrestling match between Michael and Linc, plus Michael finally, finally gets a wardrobe change, so the grappling and the blue hoodie do a pretty good job of making up for his absence.
2.20 "Panama." Second week in a row the episode title is also a song that gets stuck in my brain for days. What's next, "Dancin' Queen?"
At the airport, an anonymous pair of khakis fetches the duffle bag o' cash for T-Bag, who is totally unrecognizable because he's wearing a floppy fishing hat. You know, the same way Clark Kent doesn't look anything like Superman cause he's got those glasses and he's missing that little spit curl. Anyway, T-Bag gives the pair of khakis $20 for his trouble, which, considering he's got $5 million in that bag, is almost as rude as what he did to that nice veterinarian. He heaves the bag over his shoulder and immediately sees Bellick and Sucre (two great tastes that taste great together!) glaring right at him. He makes the same miraculous taxi escape Sucre and Maricruz did not too long ago.
Except Sucre runs after the cab. He reaches through the window, pleading with T-Bag that he needs the money. Begging for sympathy? Not really the best approach with T-Bag. Sucre's left holding the luggage tag as the taxi finally outruns him. Wow, these Mexican cab drivers really know how to mind their own business!
A big freighter looms up over a Chicago shipyard. Linc tells Michael, who's still wearing that damn jacket, that it leaves in ten minutes. Michael can't believe they're running again. Yeah, that's got to smart after the eighth or ninth time. Michael's more hopeless than we've seen him in a long time, and it's Linc's turn to do the motivational speaking. He reminds Michael that yeah, okay, so he's still wanted for murder, but when Michael came to Fox River, he promised to break Linc out, and that's exactly what he did. Michael broods, and they board the ship. Dr. Sara is conspicuously absent.
Because she's speeding along in the Family Truckster™, listening to the breaking news of the President's resignation due to her imaginary, metaphorical cancer. Michael calls her and says it's time to go. There's no turning back after this - they're getting on a ship and leaving. He knows it's not her dream vacation or anything, but there's room for her. "Michael Scofield, are you asking me to sail off into the sunset with you?" Aw. Michael clarifies that it's actually a freighter, but essentially, yeah. She smiles more than I think I've ever seen her smile and says she'll be there. Not smiling? Agent Lang, who's right behind Sara. Lang updates Mahone on Sara's location and he's on his way.
Bellick isn't happy with how the whole taxi chase turned out, even though Sucre is still calling him "Boss." He flashes his weapon to remind Sucre who's in charge of this little treasure hunt. Sucre suggests that they call the cab company, maybe find out where T-Bag was dropped off? While he's distracted by this idea, Sucre totally swipes Bellick's gun and holds it on him. Sucre: "What's it going to take for you to forget you ever found us?" "Not enough pesos in TJ" Bellick retorts. Shut up, Bellick. He tells Sucre shooting him might not be the best idea, seeing as how he's the only one who knows where Sucre's "Chiquita" is tied up. Hey, you said they were picking apples for the Snuffleupagus! "Where is Maricruz?" Sucre growls. Bellick: "If I tell you, I'm as good as dead. If you shoot, so is she."

The season has definitely gotten stronger as it has gone one. And Mahone is THE MAN! I hope he sticks around for Season 3. Even if we lose Kellerman.

I know! I think this has been a really strong second season. A lot of my favorite shows kind of pthhbbtt out after the first year but I think this one has transitioned from breakout caper to manhunt/government conspiracy caper beautifully. I've been trying to convert people.
And nooo! I loves me some Mahone, but I would be devastated if we lost Kellerman. Although this episode proved it can be great without him.

Can't wait for tonight's episode. One thing though, I'm almost certain that Sucre didn't post those messages about T-Bag being in Panama. I think it's all a set up by Mahone to trap Michael. Could they possibly be using someone as despicable as T-Bag to set Michael up? I don't know if T-Bag is in on it or not but I'm thinking that Sucre certainly didn't have time to stop at some Mexican internet cafe to post those messages... especially with Bellick glued to his side.
And it looks like Kellerman should be back tonight. I miss him too!
