Episode Report Card Sobell: B | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Teddy And His Telephone
By Sobell | Season 3 | Episode 3 | Aired on 09.30.2007
And now, the tender reunion between Sofia and Whistler. I like Sofia's moxie: the minute she sees Whistler, she smirks a little and says, "You're still alive." Whistler, that smooth operator, immediately replies, "And you're still lovely." Hands up, all those who think Scofield needs to be out here taking notes. Sofia claims to have not showered in three days, but honestly, she's looking radiant for someone swimming in her own sebaceous fluid. After a few minutes of sweet talk, Whistler asks whether Sofia's got the book, and she's all, "Yeah, about that..." Whistler's baffled that some random guy would just take the guide until Sofia adds, "He said to tell you that Scofield's brother has it now." Whistler visibly reacts to that, and then tells Sofia that "[Scofield] is someone who's going to help [Whistler] get out of here." Sofia assumes that means "lawyer," and Whistler's like, "...yeah." Sofia pushes on the book and why it's important, and Whistler's like "The less you know, the better off you'll be." Sofia argues, "The less I know, the less help I'll be," but that seems to be okay with Whistler. The two of them descend into bickering -- okay, so maybe Michael doesn't need to take notes on this part of the girlfriend-management gig, but he needs to come back as Whistler bats his big baby brown eyes at Sofia and coos, "Why would I lie to you? You're the only one I can trust." Sofia melts. She and Whistler touch hands through the fence, and it's very sweet. Then Whistler sort of sticks a pin in the moment by reminding Sofia to trust him and sit tight.
A minute later, Sofia's signing out and she notices Linc's name and address right above hers. Hands up, everyone who thinks Sofia's going to ignore her boyfriend's request to do nothing.
Michael is skulking around a side entrance to Lechero's suite, covetously eying the charger where the mobile phone sits, when Sammy sneaks up behind him. Michael quickly improvises that he's looking to score drugs, and Sammy tells him, in a quiet, matter-of-fact way, "Go down to the lost & found with the rest of them. They'll hook you up proper." Michael is relieved and prepares to go. That's when Sammy gets scary, blocking Michael's path and telling him, "I find you sniffing around again where you don't belong, you're going to find yourself in that ring again -- against me. I don't like your odds." Michael does not reply, "Well, I don't like your shirt. Why are you wearing a fishnet tank top anyway?"
