Meanwhile, on the outside...Linc and Sucre have returned to his hotel and parked their car on a side street. Sucre is musing that mayhap, some locks on their new house's doors might be in order. Linc points out, "We can't have anything new on it. The place needs to look abandoned." His mobile rings right then. It's Splenda's papa, telling Linc only, "I have a message for you -- don't come home for dinner." Linc hangs up and explains to Sucre, "When me and Mikey were kids, we had a code when Social Services was trying to get me into juvie. He's telling me to watch my back." Or maybe check out your side, as One World Conspiracy stooge Pike is busy watching him. Just then, Sofia pops out on the sidewalk and blusters to Linc, "Why haven't you returned my calls or my car?' Before Linc can explain to her that he was freed from the constraints of etiquette the moment she pulled a gun on him, we cut to Susan B. ordering Pike to take all three people out.
Then we cut back to Linc telling Sofia to take her problems someplace else. Sofia's telling him about Whistler's other apartment, and when she describes Susan B., Sucre explains, "She's the one who has L.J." Sofia rattles on about finding the fake passport and says, "I don't know what's going on." Linc snaps, "Your boyfriend's a liar. I told you that from the start. " Sofia replies, "James told me to stay away from you today, that it was dangerous." And somehow, that's Pike's cue to get out of the car with his posse. As they head toward Linc, Sucre and Sofia, Linc calls Lechero.
Naturally, Sammy picks up the phone. Linc asks to speak to Michael, and Sammy snarls, "How you get this number?" Lechero comes in right then. Linc explains, "He called me two days back. I didn't answer. I need to speak to him now." Sammy hangs up on Linc. Linc rolls his eyes. Fortunately, this allows him to notice the phalanx of conspiracy stooges making their way down the sidewalk.
Back in the prison, Sammy is passing along Linc's phone message, and boy, is he not happy about it. Lechero reminds him who's boss, saying, "Who calls me and who I call is my business." Sammy just glares.
Meanwhile, on the outside...Pike has caught up to Sofia and is asking her at gunpoint where Linc and Sucre are. Sofia plays panicky and dumb long enough for Linc to sneak up behind Pike and put a gun to him. He asks why the stooges are coming after them, but whatever answer there is gets lost in the ensuing melee. Sucre takes out one guy with a well-placed blow to the arm, there's more fisticuffs, and then LINCOLN SMASH! One guy gets planted head-first through a car window.
