Episode Report Card Sobell: B- | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Sasha's dad -- dead!
By Sobell | Season 2 | Episode 15 | Aired on 01.28.2007
As Sasha goes to open her beer, Haywire notices the ring of bruises around her wrist. Faster than you can type "Sasha's an abused kid," we learn that... well, her dad drinks too. Matt the boyfriend comes back, and there's a little scuffle in liberating Sasha from her concerned new friend. The scene ends with Haywire making the certifiably-crazy face at Sasha and Matt, so we know we'll be seeing more of him.
Then we see Bellick making the oozing-wound face. More credit to Wade Williams -- even under layers of latex and corn syrup, you can see the miserable yearning in his eyes as he looks out the infirmary window. Bellick eyes the frayed cables (from the breakout) and puts his icepack back up on his face. Nurse Gossipson comes back in with the news that Bellick's about to be released back to GenPop. Guess that new, upstanding, by-the-book warden really doesn't care that his vindictive night staff is opening doors and letting the convicts beat the crap out of each other, huh? Bellick desperately tries to flirt with Nurse Gossipson, but apparently there is only one inmate-medical professional romance per annum at Fox River. Oh, it's just so awkward. And then poor Bellick is reduced to begging for one more night in the clinic. When he also pushes for Nurse Gossipson to leave the door unlocked, she stalks out in disgust.
We cut to Greg the camera guy -- who still hasn't showered, the poor thing -- talking to some random FBI agent about the experience of being held hostage by Kellerman. He makes it sound a loss less dreamy than you might suppose. The upshot to the scene: the FBI now has an idea that the Car of Comedy Gold will be driving 450 miles in six hours toward an as-yet-unnamed destination.
Cut to Mahone drawing a circle on the map to determine the radius. He does a hilarious double-take as he notices Wheeler standing behind him. Like right behind him. Like, if the two of them were to be turned toward the camera and wearing boutonnières, they'd be in the classic "homecoming dance" photo pose so many of us remember from high school. Wheeler begins the word problem ("Seventy-five miles per hour, stopping for gas ... ") as Mahone picks up the phone. Oooh, I hope it's Pam asking where he is. Oh, it's the second-best thing: Kim testily asking, "Where are they?" Well, if you'd get your narrow ass out of the office, maybe you could find them, KIM.
Kim is visibly sweating as he says, "This can't happen fast enough. They've already done irreparable damage." Mahone throws him a bone: the storage facility where the brothers' Slamdance entry was shot is somewhere around Helena, and from there, the guys are planning on heading to someplace another 450 miles away. Mahone adds, "There's Seattle, Portland, Salt Lake, Denver ... " and instead of saying, "Wait a minute, wasn't I supposed to be in Colorado?" Mahone waits for Kim to tell him that Madame President Evil is going to be speaking in the Mile High City that day. Mahone concludes, "They're going after the President."
