We last left our hero Michael Scofield feeling pretty smug about himself. He'd just broken through his cell wall undetected and his escape plan was coming together nicely. Unfortunately, unbeknownst to him, the evil Secret Service agents - at the behest of the evil Granny in her Montana hideaway (The UnaGranny?) - had secured a transfer request for Michael. This would, of course, foil all of his ridiculous plans. So, it made perfect sense to open this week's episode with a flashback of Michael getting a lame tattoo that said, "English, Fitz, Percy." I'm sure this would make absolute perfect sense later on, like Enter From Pothole or some such convolution. I'm waiting for Michael to start singing "Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme," because that means, of course, "PASsAGE by the ROSE bushes gives me more TiME." Wouldn't surprise me a bit.

As always, there were several different story lines woven throughout the show, making my job somewhat difficult. So bear with me... Warden Pope, the world's nicest maximum security prison warden, figured into this episode almost as much as Michael. He first appeared arguing with the Secret Service punks about Michael's transfer. You see, the Warden really needs his Popsicle stick Taj Mahal completed and Michael is the only one capable of doing so. The warden didn't suffer 3 months of brain freezes and green tongues for nothing - there was no way he was going to let Michael leave his prison. So the Secret Service guys (I'd abbreviate them "SS guys," but even bigger asshats already used that abbreviation in the past) revealed their trump card: Blackmail. The government men had some photos and documents from 1989 in Toledo, which caused Warden Pope to turn sheet-white. We know that Mrs. Pope knows about Toledo, but apparently not the whole story - the one with the dead kid. Let's hope there was no sex involved. Although that would shut up the Oz crowd who continue to complain about Prison Break.
