Speaking of antagonistic exchanges, it's T-Bag and Sammy. The point to T-Bag wandering the halls was to find someone who could corroborate Splenda's testimony that Whistler did indeed head down the stairs after Tyge, and Sammy's all, "The sooner you find that witness, the sooner we can kill Whistler, and then the sooner I can kill you." How is that motivational? To anyone other than Sammy, I mean? As he heads off, chortling to himself. T-Bag gets a very thoughtful expression. He is going to come up with ten synonyms for "doomed," I'm thinking. And Sammy will learn them all during a sweeps period.
Meanwhile, outside Sona...Susan B is handing Linc a small bottle of liquid dog downer, instructing him to use two droplets to knock out the guard an hour beforehand. Linc takes the glass bottle and begins ambling away. Susan B. takes that moment to begin talking about how cheesed she is that Lincoln's seeing other women -- more specifically, Sofia. Linc protests that Sofia approached him, and Susan B. says, "I don't mind that she's helping you. I mind that you kept it from me." Linc does not point out that he never agreed to stop seeing other conspiratorially-minded women. Susan snaps, "No more surprises, Lincoln!" So Linc lays out the last one: he sorta needs pictures of Dr. Sara because he sorta neglected to tell his brother that his girlfriend's been killed. Susan B. snarks, "Smart move, not telling your brother. He seems a little sensitive to me." That's why the chicks dig him, Susie B. Anyway, she confirms that they're all going to meet up at nine p.m. for the hostage exchange, and Linc is all, "Yes. Indeed. I am not planning on surprising you at all by moving the time of the breakout up by six hours. LINCOLN SEETHE."
In the next scene, Sucre and Lincoln are trying to figure out which guard is Hurtado, so they can spike his coffee. Sucre protests that all the guards look the same to him. Just then, he's collared to go to work; there's another dead body at Sona that needs the spray-and-inhume treatment. As Sucre hops to, he passes Hurtado; he manages to give Linc a wild-eyed look indicating that yes, this is the guard whom they must drug. At first, Linc tries to hand over the drugged coffee by A) bumping into Hurtado, thus spilling his coffee, and B) acting acutely apologetic and being all, "Here, take mine." Unfortunately, the barista at the stand has already replaced Hurtado's coffee, so that scheme doesn't work. Sofia then hops out of her car, unbuttons her shirt, and runs up to Linc, pleading for a ride to Sona on account of her car just running out of gas. Linc ad libs quite nicely, and Hurtado steps up and offers the pretty lady a ride. Sofia hustles off, the cup of poisoned coffee in her hand.
