Episode Report Card Sobell: B- | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Escaping from the prison of love
By Sobell | Season 1 | Episode 19 | Aired on 04.23.2006
Lincoln's brought back in chains. An unamused Pope meets him in the prison courtyard and barks, "I want him under 24-hour surveillance. He doesn't sneeze without my knowing it." As the forum posters asked earlier: Linc is already in prison. How is he not already under 24-hour surveillance? Linc protests that someone tried to kill him; Pope does not snap back, "Then we have something in common!"
Time passes, and Tweener flags down Bellick. The guard smirks, "I heard Avocado cut his hose on your bunk. There must have been some serious gym-nast-ics goin' on." Tweener's all, "At long last, I am paying off as a snitch! Just try not to stuff me in a cell with any more libidinal mutant giants and I will sing like Clay Aiken in a Chelsea bar. Um. You know what I mean." Bellick bluffs and postures some more about the horrible things he can do to Tweener, so the boy blurts out, "Scofield and his whole P.I. crew? They're escaping." Oh my GAWD, Tweener, you idiot! You could have gone with them, and instead, you're going to do…what, exactly? Cultivate a career as a prison snitch and girlfriend to Fox River's Yeti population? Perhaps after this, you can aspire to be the Eva Braun to the prison's reigning Aryan Brotherhood leader, since you obviously have such a great nose for backing long-term talent.
Cut to Bellick barreling into St. Louis, clearing it out, pulling up the rug, then hammering the floor. The hole gapes open. So does Bellick's mouth -- he's just discovered the hole, and the endless possibilities as to what he can do with this knowledge are stretching before him.
