Episode Report Card Sobell: A | 1 USERS: B+ YOU GRADE IT Where The Wild Things Are
By Sobell | Season 3 | Episode 13 | Aired on 02.17.2008
Meanwhile, during all of this, Michael has quietly headed back to the car and retrieved Linc's piece from the glove compartment. We then switch to Susan B. telling Whistler that he really has no choice -- he has to go. Whistler replies by grabbing Susan B.'s throat and growling, "I ought to kill you right now for what you've done to her." He's peeled off, and Susan B. shouts, "I did what I had to do to get you out, period! [Much more quietly] You know what's at stake, James." As the goons bundle Whistler into the van, Susan B. turns away and Michael gets a clear shot of her from behind. And although he's got the gun aimed at her, his hand is shaking too much. He can't do it.
And then there's another reason Michael can't do it: because the guards have started paying attention to what's going on around them, and one is busy firing at the van where Susan B. and her goons are. The van drives off anyway, and inside, Whistler is ordering them to stop, because he can't leave Sofia. Susan B. turns around and says, "She already left you." Whistler looks like she just punched him in the stomach.
Speaking of people with painful torso injuries, it's Sofia, down on the ground. L.J. finally gets Linc to see reason. Linc takes off; L.J. will stay with Sofia.
We cut back to the van, where Susan B. has just asked Whistler, "Do you have everything?" "The book is gone," he replies. Susan B. turns around, and opens her mouth, and for one wild moment, I think she's going to say, "Mister, don't make me turn this van around. You don't want to go back to Sona, do you?"
Speaking of going back to Sona, here's T-Bag! He's at the visitor's pen, gazing moonily at Sister Magdalene. (Confession: I had to go back to old recaps to see what nickname I had given her. The first time I typed this, I called her "Sister Mary Hooker.") Anyway, Sister Magdalene wants to know if Lechero truly is dead, and T-Bag confirms this, though without adding, "I should know! I killed him myself." Sister Magdalene opens her satchel demurely and asks, "How do you want me to give you this? The guards, they won't let me in anymore." T-Bag says he only needs one tiny roll. "Hold on to the rest for a few days. If you were to consider leaving with all that...well, I just want you to know I'd be very cross with you. I've been known to have a bit of a temper problem when betrayed." Sister Magdalene replies, "A deal's a deal. You've done so much for me. You have my word." She hands over a roll of cash and T-Bag secretes it on his person. T-Bag turns to go, and Sister Magdalene tells him to wait. She puts her hand up to the fence, and T-Bag goes to meet it, but alas, it's his purloined prosthetic. He goes to put up his other hand, but Sister Magdalene tells him it's okay, and she caresses his fake hand. "I'll wait for you," she says. Oh, T-Bag's in love. What a day he's having! First he's beaten until nearly dead, then he kills Lechero, but he ends up with the money and the girl.
