Testimonials

Michael and Sara managed to hitch a ride away from imminent danger but now they're just standing around a truck stop trying to figure out the "headed to Miami" part. Michael reluctantly calls Linc, who tells Michael "I had it all worked out and you blew it!" Linc doesn't want to help Baldy but it's the only way to get his life back. Michael says there has to be another way. Linc thinks Michael should grow the hell up and get over himself already, and think for two seconds about what's best for Sara and his family. Linc's determined to get Scylla back to the General, but Michael says he'll do everything he can to stop him, because he has principles, or something. Shut up, Michael. So now everybody's mad at everybody just in time for Michael to say "OK, gotta run from the cops real quick, oh by the way, Mom's not nearly as dead as we thought she was, see you in a couple days!" They hop into the trailer of a Dallas-bound 18-wheeler. I have decided to believe they have some quick offscreen adrenaline sex before we see them next, because otherwise the sight of them sitting among cases of bottled water, glumly eating junk food and discussing Michael's Mommy Issues and inconvenient bouts of moral indignation/self-righteous prickery, would just be really really sad. Michael reminds us that his mom did have the same kind of cancer he did, and that Company doctors operated on her too. So maybe she got the same trip to the same heavily guarded cabin in the woods, only she wasn't clever enough to McGyver her way out of the mind-melty personality-sucking Company recruitment injection like Michael did.

HOW LINC CAN BE IN PICTURE AND HOUSE AT SAME TIME?

Linc and Mahone arrive at Mom's house, put the special key in the patio door, and ta da! Well, that was a whole lot easier than last time. Of course Mom knew they were coming and the house is empty, but propped neatly on an otherwise empty table is a photo of Lil' Linc and Pregnant Mom. This is when Mahone puts things together for poor, slow, lumbering Linc: They know Mom once worked for the Company, they know the Scylla buy was probably an inside job, and the buyer knew Linc was coming and had access to old family photos. Linc's brain-gears creak audibly as he realizes this probably means that not only is mom really still alive, but she's probably in Miami, with Scylla.

Baldy is cruising in his big scary limo with one Oren, you know, the Cardholder guy with the safe they drilled into without anybody noticing, while Sucre pretended to use a shop vac for a suspiciously large ink stain in the office next door? Good times. Anyway, Baldy just thinks Michael is the bee's knees, and if they'd managed to recruit him it would be like having 30 more years of Christina. Oren is all "yeah, that's great, oops look at the time, I'm going to hurriedly exit the vehicle in the middle of nowhere real quick if you don't mind." Baldy's seatbelt is rigged and he's desperately trying to cut himself loose when BOOM, another innocent car sploded.
