Recap: Prison Break: Train of Fools - 
by Loula
This week on Prison Break, we're reminded right off the bat that several different kinds of shit are poised to hit the fan. For example, before he was Michael's best pal, Kellerman worked Dr. Sara over, and not in the good way, and only her stainless steel balls kept her from a watery, porcelain, claw-footed grave. T-Bag is teaching his family how to love him again. At gunpoint. Bellick and Mahone have struck up a partnership. Not to mention that Sara, who finally connected with and batted her eyelashes at Michael over the phone, is about to meet Michael's new friend, Not!Gay Not!Lance the Torture-Proficient Not!Addict. Also phone flirting? Kellerman. With President Bitchface! Dunnn!
2.16 "Chicago." Dr. Sara steps off of a train in Evansville Indiana. Life on the lam looks good on you, Doc! Michael's hovering around the station. As he sees her, his steely eyes soften and his eyebrows float up to an appropriate human distance north of his brow bone. He looks genuinely relieved to see her. He probably feels pretty bad about the whole wacky misunderstanding which resulted in her entire life crumbling to bits all around her in a matter of days. D'oh. Anyway, they hug like they mean it, and there are actual smiles and everything. Meanwhile, Kellerman gets another call from his girlfriend President Bitchface. "It's funny how you only call me when you need me," he snits, and all of a sudden I totally buy that he really did at one point luuurrrrve her. Again, this is almost certainly Paul Adelstein's fault. He's all scruffy, which is TV shorthand for "loose cannon!" so I don't know what to make of it, but it could very easily be a red herring. She's speaking in Chicago tonight, she says, just bring the oaf and the smartass down there and everything will be back the way it was. He just says he has to go and hangs up. He's twitchy and conflicted.
Sara shows Michael the key that fell out of her dad's pocket as they were taking him down from his not!suicide. She doesn't recognize the insignia and neither does Michael, but he glances at Kellerman and tells her they have someone working with them now. Awkward! The music goes "dunnn!!" for us in case we haven't done so in our heads, which of course I have. Sara just stares at him, mouth agape.
I am sorry to have to tell you that T-Bag is spooning in bed with Susan Hollander. He kisses her and asks her how she slept. Oh, she probably dreamed about lots of crying and throwing up, but that's just a guess. T-Bag: "Tell you what. I'll go unlock the kids and make us all breakfast." Ha! There's a family man for you.
She doesn't want him getting the kids, and he waves around the big knife he's kept next to the bed, mostly just to remind her who's boss, and make a big show of cutting her restraints. This can't work, she says - the Welcome Wagon lady is coming today and if no one answers she'll know something's wrong. Plus, she tries, what if Welcome Wagon Lady recognizes Teddy Bear? Susan wouldn't want him getting in to trouble. "No trouble at all!" he says, shoving her handgun in to his waistband and going off to wake the kiddies.
Sara, Linc and Michael approach Kellerman at the train station, and he says "Hello, Sara. What's done is done, we all want the same thing nnrrrghghhgrrrhhh" That last part is because Michael grabs him by the neck and pins him against the wall. Cool! Swoon! Angry Michael is dreamy.
Kellerman is sorry! He was just scaring her! You know, by killing her! Finally he convinces Michael that they need him and he knows it. Sara disagrees. They have the key, they can find out what it's for, but Kellerman can tell them right now: it's a private cigar bar in Chicago. Damn, writers! See, it's totally plausible cause that's where the whole thing started and it's where Sara's dad worked, but it would also fit perfectly with President Bitchface's plan! Oh Kellerman, your scruffy, smirky, gum-chewing Magnificent Bastarditude confuses and fascinates me.
