Episode Report Card Sobell: A | 1 USERS: A YOU GRADE IT Tweener -- dead, yo!

<,p>Jeanette manages to squirm free for a moment and manages a hoarse, inchoate bellow before T-Bag gets his grip on her again. Ann wheels around and heads for her mom's room. She opens the door and immediately draws her gun. T-Bag has centered himself so Ann can't help but see her mom, the human shield. Behind them, Michael raises his hands. In a high, panicky voice, he says, "It's okay! It's okay!" Ann firmly tells him to back away and put his hands up. T-Bag tries to regain some control by snarling that "you ain't the one carrying the cards here," but Ann merely aims at him, then tells T-Bag to back away and put his hands up.As Ann heads into the room with her gun drawn, she says, "I don't want anyone to do anything stupid, okay?" This is Sucre's cue to try and rush her from behind, but Ann takes him out without even looking at him: she just throws her elbow in his eye. It's like a Three Stooges moment, only with follow-up gunplay. Ann trains her gun on Sucre and tells him not to move. And that's right when Linc does manage to get her from behind and just peel the gun out of her hand. He is disturbingly good at this sort of thing. Anyone else get the feeling that he's sort of an improvisational, criminal version of Michael? Linc says very calmly, "Let's be civil. Stop. Relax."
Hey, who wants to bet that nobody's ever said that to Mahone? And who'd want to bet that even if they did, he wouldn't listen? Mahone is busy scampering about the labyrinthine law enforcement headquarters of Tooele, explaining to anyone unfortunate enough to be around him that A) the cons are not taking off from this little garden spot until they find Westmoreland's money, and B) he is confident he can get the freshly-apprehended Tweener to spill the beans on where the remainder of Team Escarpara may be. All he needs is a street-to-English translator and he can get started.
We get a tight shot of the sullen Tweener's face, and then we go to commercials. I see we've entered that dreadful period in the ad cycle where it's about half an hour too early for holiday ads but two weeks too late for a commercial encouraging people to drink a lot of bad beer during sporting events.
And when we get back from the commercials, we're at the Chicago grocery store where Dr. Sara has just run into Lance. Remember, she just got off the phone with her dad, who was all, "Stay away from the magnificent bastard!" and sure enough, the minute her dad said that, there Kellerman was. So Dr. Sara's spooked. She's doing the grocery cart sprint through the store, but Kellerman's just skipping alongside her, saying, "My aunt Maxine finally gave me her famous chocolate chip cookie recipe, and if you're free tonight, I'd love for you to be my guinea pig." Do you think every time Kellerman has to adopt a new persona, he's secretly thrilled because it provides a fabulous excuse to whip up some tournedos Rossini and gougeres, plus a chance to murder someone? Without looking at Kellerman, Dr. Sara says. "I can't. Not tonight." Channeling his inner David Fisher, Kellerman huffs, "You sound just like Daniel -- 'Not tonight not tonight.'" Kellerman leaves out the part where he killed Daniel after hearing that one time too many.
