Episode Report Card Sobell: C+ | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Sarah, Plain And Tall
By Sobell | Season 3 | Episode 4 | Aired on 10.07.2007
Meanwhile, on the outside...Sucre is still monkeying with his fake ID, Sofia is anxiously waiting, and Linc is trying to get Susan B. to pony up $15,000 cash for the gravedigger. Susan B. assures him, "I will get you the money, and I will meet you there." Then she switches gears and asks how Linc is holding up. Linc tells her he just wants this done. She's pleased by that. I...couldn't care less. And I would probably like her more if she took a page out of Kellerman's or Kim's books and stopped trying to relate to the people she's jerking around. Oh, man. You've made me miss KIM, Susan B.! I hate you a little for that.
Linc heads for the door and Sofia kicks up a fuss over his orders to have everyone stay there. After she huffs, "You're not the only one affected by this," Linc snarls, "I know. That's the problem." Sofia pushes, "And you'll still run off and do whatever you want? What kind of a man are you --" "They killed Sara and put her head in a box! And they've got my son!" Linc shouts. Well, that shuts Sofia right the heck up. It also shocks Sucre out of his idiotic little fantasy world. He tells Linc he's so sorry. Linc's not having any of that -- he shouldn't have had to break out the big, beheaded-girl guns to ask for help in the first place.
Back in prison, Sammy's having a busy day: he has to now muscle T-Bag over to Lechero so that Lechero can yell at him some about Nieves. Lechero gets all up in T-Bag's shocked (shocked!) grill and shouts, "Do you know anything about this?" T-Bag convincingly lies that he does not, sniveling, "Nieves and me was friends, man!" Lechero slams T-Bag into a wall and says, "If you knew that he was using and you didn't tell me, his death is on your head." Well, it's there anyway, so that's not a very effective negotiating tactic. However, poor Lechero -- who is turning out to be remarkably bad at telling when people lie to him -- doesn't know that. T-Bag snivels his way out of trouble and into a promotion into Nieves's old spot. Sammy is watching all of this with an expression bordering on sorrow. I wonder: will he be the one to keep Lechero in power out of some loyalty? Or is he beginning to contemplate a coup? Or am I seeing something that's not even there?
A few corridors over, Michael returns the cross to Splenda. He also thanks the boy, and it appears to physically pain him to do so. Splenda comments, "You're a real smart guy. What the hell are you doing in prison?" Michael has a look like, "I am smart. And I ask myself that question all the time. I only wish I were smart enough to answer it."
