Meanwhile, on the outside...Hurtado's putting the moves on Sofia. This includes telling her how attractive she is, and taking the long way to work. The long way, by the way, includes a really secluded glade. There, Hurtado pulls over and says, "You probably don't know this, but ... there is a special visitation for special people. I could arrange for you to go inside Sona, and have some private time with your love. [begins stroking Sofia's hair] And everything you need to assure your entry could be performed right here in this car." Oh, that Hurtado, so thoughtful and considerate -- what girl wouldn't swoon at the prospect of a quickie in a dusty truck?
Linc, who had followed at a discreet distance and is now parked up on the road, sees what's going on, grabs his gun and prepares to untie the sack of LINCOLN SMASH! that he carries with him at all times. (He's like Santa -- it's a sack that defies the laws of physics. Work with my metaphor here.) Before he can sneak up on the car, his phone rings. Susan B.'s calling him to tell him that the picture's ready. Linc asks how it looks, and Susan B. snaps, "It looks like Sara!" Given her volatile emotional state, I'm wondering if she shouldn't start taking some of what Mahone used to take. Linc distractedly tells Susan B. that he'll meet her in the Sona parking lot in 30 minutes, and she quickly twigs to Linc being even more stressed than usual. Linc puts her on hold as he sneaks up to see if it's time for the LINCOLN SMASH! to begin.
We cut back to the attempted seduction of Sofia, and Hurtado has just busted out the most awful line in history, "Don't you love your man?" That is exactly what you should say to someone when you're trying to get them into bed. Sofia manages to wiggle out of the whole situation by simpering that yes, she sure does love "Norman St. John," but he has such a terrible temper and...and Hurtado's all, "I had no idea you were one of Lechero's ladies. Let us never speak of this again. Please." As he reels, Sofia cleverly switches the coffees.
Meanwhile, Susan B. is not happy that she's been kept waiting on the phone, and in the next few sections, manages to worm it out of Linc that the escape timeline's been bumped up by six hours. Oooh, she is pissed.
Back inside the prison, Michael heads over to Mahone's prison cell, only to discover that he's not in it. Michael sits down on the bunk and contemplates Sammy's ring. Then he looks up and happens to notice a bloody knife secreted under the bunk bed across from him. Oh, it looks like someone may have been framed for murder! Or, you know, actually committed murder. Michael stares at the knife.
