4.17 The Mother Lode. Linc, Mahone, T-Bag and Self are sitting around their swanky Miami Vicey apartment. Their clumsy attempt at retrieving Scylla has only served to annoy the General, who has sent each of them a photo meant to scare them into compliance. T-Bag has a Momma in a wheelchair in a home somewhere, did we even know that? Baldy knows, and he also knows where LJ is, and Pam, and Self's wife, who I really thought was already dead, so what's the story there? Anyway, they're running out of family members to use as leverage. Next time it'll have to be creepy surveillance photos of Self's drycleaner or Mahone's accountant or something. Linc reminds us that they did find a weird key on Silas Adams' body that they're looking into. Baldy is still on his Comically Tiny Phone, and I laugh every time I see it, because while I adored mine till the day it died, I am a girl and can get away with a phone that looks like it came in a cereal box, and it is by no means the sort of thing you'd want to use to order hits on 9-year-olds or any other nefarious business. Anyway, Linc is furious to hear that Michael has escaped. Again. Really, you're surprised? Has Linc never seen this show? The point is, Linc took this job in order to keep Michael safe, and Michael refused to play along. And on top of that, Michael is still mad at Linc for taking the deal in the first place - you know, the one he took in order to prevent Michael's brain from exploding - because Michael is just so goddamn noble that sometimes he has to act like a total asshole.

"Oh, I'm sorry, does your high horse want some pizza too while you're up there?"

In the parking lot of a pizza joint somewhere, Michael mutters a halfass apology to Sara, who is no doubt thinking the only reason she's putting up with this emo bullshit is that she has literally no one else left in the entire world, otherwise he and his sanctimonious bullshit could just McGyver their way back to Miami all by themselves. Then of course they get shot at, because cars on Prison Break can't last more than a few episodes without getting shot at, hitting a pedestrian, and/or getting sploded. They lose the shooter in a boatyard or something. In Miami, Mahone has traced the manufacturer of Silas Adams' key, which leads him to a database, which tells him that there are two locks for it, one in Little Havana and one by the ocean, presumably at Mom's house. Which is cool, except of course Christina Rose, The Mom Not The Boat, has minions to keep her informed when someone's snooping around in her super secret database. Her main henchman also tells her Michael's on the lam, again, and headed to Miami. Kathleen Quinlan looks lovely, incidentally, and her ambiguously evil badass mama is pretty convincing.
