Sara's done some research on Michael's particular brand of brain surgery, and it turns out it's the extra fun kind where they have to keep you awake while they're poking around in there to make sure they don't slice out anything important. Oh, and they also have to screw a giant metal brace into your skull to keep it in one place. Why, that sounds like a delightful way to spend an afternoon! Michael listens, but Linc is all "Iwww! Brains! Gross!" Self interrupts the lecture, hauling in boxes of Michael's requested break-in supplies. No one's told Self about the whole tumor thing, by the way, so when Self asks if he's feeling okay everyone's like "Fine! He's fine! It's not a toomah!" Mahone and Sucre are back with the video, and they have 4 hours to figure out how to break through a steel-reinforced concrete wall, then a glass wall, without touching the floor or making a sound. One thing David Baker's plans didn't tell him - and by the way, where the hell is David Baker? - was that there is in fact a single camera present, but it's only activated when one of the heat/sound/pressure sensors is triggered. So about this wall - they're gonna need a serious electromagnetic field to deal with the steel fibers. Michael's zoning out a little so Mahone picks up the slack and says they'll need a couple of car batteries. Sucre's all over that! It's kind of his Thing. Mahone is awesome again now that he's gotten his vengeance out of the way.
Gretchen is waiting for Baldy in "their old room." Gross. "What took you so long?" she purrs. "You know how I get when I'm hungry." Double gross on the rocks with a gross chaser! She proceeds to seductively remove his jacket, and just as she's surreptitiously patting it down, he says "I didn't bring it with me." D'oh! Walking around in those platform Mary Janes, in front of T-Bag no less, all for nought! Anyway, he knows she was after the card. "I never thought that at the age of 63 I could still have my heart broken." Aw, poor gross jowly lecherous evil mastermind. If she'd waited a little while she would have had a card of her own, he says. Before she can apologize he's got a gun on her. He demands to know who she's selling it to, but she just pleads, "I'm the mother of your child!" Iww, I knew it! She calls him Jonathan, which I guess is information we didn't have before, and says she loves him, but even though all the blood has been pharmaceutically rushed away from his brain, he knows she's full of shit. He lowers the gun and says if he ever sees her again, he'll kill her. Way to hold up your end of the bargain, Gretchen. We know where to go if we need someone whipped or garotted, but we can't trust you to pick any pockets.

Loula!
I am so LOVING this season. And like you, I am wondering where they will go for the last half of the season. I am sure it will be somewhere cool....And no, you didn't miss the thing in the envelope. They didn't show it, but whatever it is, I think has something to do with setting Lisa up. I get two different descriptions of each episode, one on my guide and the other is TV Guide, both of which consistently give a away major plot points, almost worse than the Fox Promo Monkeys. I have tonights episode saying that the guys will be betrayed by one of their "own". My daughter and I debated this on the way to school this morning and the only one that it can be is Self. There is no way Linc, Sara and Michael will betray one another. And Sucre has proven that he would die for his papi, and Mahone has redeemed himself. Soooooo that just leaves Self. Any theories anyone?

Hey Loula!
I found your Prison Break summaries a week or so ago, and I just had to sign up to tell you how much I enjoy them.
I'm halfway through series 4 at the moment, but one thing I don't understand, perhaps you could explain it to me?
I thought that the brothers and good doctor were exonerated of all charges, in the US at least, somewhere around the end of season 2, so I don't understand agent Self's threat to lock them up if they don't comply. What did I miss?
"If I ever have a zillion dollars, I will pay Robert Knepper and William Fichtner to just sit around my house emoting at my command..." I couldn't agree more, especially Fichtner, who threatens to steal each episode. Also Wade Williams as Bellick, it just broke my heart to see him shuffling his cowardly ass around the prison in Panama...
Hope you can enlighten me as to the hold agent Self has over the crew, and I look forward to garnishing my remaining viewing with a leisurely read of your take on each episode.
Good luck to you mate, hope you get this, I know maybe it's a bit late...
Al :-)
