Episode Report Card Sobell: A | 1 USERS: A YOU GRADE IT Tweener -- dead, yo!
By Sobell | Season 2 | Episode 7 | Aired on 10.01.2006
Okay, digression time. The pills are in a drawer, which implies to me that Ann still lives in the house, as it makes very little sense for her to have just stashed caches of pills all over town. And if she lives in the house... what is the story with her impending bundle of joy? Is she going to be a single mom, or is there a Mr. Ann somewhere in the picture? Or maybe, since Metformin is a drug for treating diabetes, she's really not pregnant but diabetic, and only telling Sucre she's pregnant because she calculated that motherhood would affect him more than diabetes did. Or maybe I'm overthinking this.
Anyhoodle, Sucre eases the pills into Ann's mouth, then gently holds her chin as he gives her a swallow of water. Sucre says, "Okay, I'm putting the gag back on," and Ann quickly gulps, "You seem like a really good guy. Why are you doing this?" Sucre jams the gag back in Ann's mouth and says bitterly, "I'm not a good guy." DAMN YOU, MARICRUZ! DAMN YOU! Look what you did to our poor, sweet Sucre, you cobweb-cranium'd hussy.
Meanwhile, the boys in the garage continue to watch Fox News ("Do you really think you can link the Fox River Eight to Whitewater? Is it true one of them used to be named 'Monica'?"), and T-Bag frowns when the anchorlady says something about "Keep[ing] predators like Theodore Bagwell behind bars." His mug shot flashes on screen and T-Bag huffs, "This show makes me look like a sociopath." Hey! The show I'm watching makes him look like a sociopath too! As T-Bag storms away, he gets a lap full of dirt courtesy of the disgruntled C-Note; the other man snaps, "I'm not joking with you, Trailer Park. Now get in here and dig!" T-Bag snarls dramatically, "I am incapable, thanks to all y'all." Oh, he's just pissed that he can't wear a wrist corsage to the spring cotillion now. He continues with how he's the one who found the place, conveniently forgetting how it's Michael's deductive reasoning that actually figured it out. Linc is still fretting about Tweener, and Michael telling him that Tweener's been gone for about an hour and a half does nothing to appease his fears.
However, Linc gets totally distracted when the anchordrone ceases her monologue ("The Fox River Eight may terrorize the populace by committing random gay marriage ceremonies!") to provide a bit of plot-advancing exposition: L.J. is being released tomorrow, since the evidence linking him to the crime has suddenly disappeared. T-Bag says thoughtfully, "Hey, Linc, I didn't know you had a boy." Linc is too distracted to bother reaching over and beating T-Bag about the head and shoulders with his formerly-reattached hand. He's trying to figure out how to get to Arizona by L.J.'s release the next morning.
