T-Bag erroneously concludes, "You can smell that Scylla money, can't you? That's what you're in it for, just like me." (By the way, Tricia's room has a windowseat with some lovely tailored cushions, and I am totally distracted by the Hable Company-meets-Cost Plus World Market thing going on there. Please excuse me.) Michael clams up and T-Bag coaxes him with, "Say it. I want you to say it." Michael rolls his eyes and sullenly lies, "I'm in it for the money." T-Bag crows that he and Michael aren't so different after all. Really? Because it seems like only one of you is dumb enough to believe the other when he's so clearly lying.
We cut to Agent Blots Out the Sun pulling up to an architecturally confused cottage -- it's got some funky Tudor-meets-Mediterranean thing going on -- and we go back to some interleaving scenes. Over the next few minutes, we see Agent Blots Out the Sun walking into the house, then Don Self standing in front of a rich red wall hung with portraits, looking all nervous. I know we're supposed to think that Don Self's idea of standing his ground Scofield-style will be to hang out while Agent Blots Out the Sun guns him down in his home, but the show throws us a curveball. Don Self has already cleared out his home, and his idea of bringing the game to the people hassling him ... is to go say hello to General Von Baldy. We cut to General Von Baldy looking shocked at this nerve -- then to a final shot of Don looking like he'd like nothing better than to vomit before heading into the office.
Back in Las Vegas, Scuderi is busy losing money at cards. Linc heads over to the table to join him, with the intent of using Charybdis to suck up all the card data while they play. However, the data card soon fills up, and Roland sends Linc a text reading: "Failed. Pull out." Linc dispatches Sucre to tail Scuderi while he finds out what the hell just happened.
So we switch back to Trisha's apartment. Gretchen pulls up in a nondescript sedan, and T-Bag heads out to excitedly tell her that Michael's made real progress on the blueprints. "He works fast," Gretchen drawls. T-Bag adds that they have to head back to GATE, then asks, "Did you take care of our little troll problem?' Did she? Gretchen pops open the trunk and there's Andy, bound, gagged and terrified. T-Bag says, "Don't even think about doing this to me. My name's on the door." Gretchen yawns, "If I didn't think you were valuable, you'd be dead." She lets T-Bag absorb this, then orders him to grab one of Andy's legs and help her carry him inside.
