By Sobell | Season 3 | Episode 9 | Aired on 01.13.2008
Meanwhile, back in Sona...Zavala's all about finding Susan B. as quickly as possible. Michael says he can help there, but he'll need to use a phone. I mention this only because he says that very dramatically. Even Whistler rolls his eyes.
We cut to Linc and Michael talking. Michael requests, "I need to know where and when your next meeting with Susan B. is." Lincoln tells him, "[The] Garfield-Price building, downtown, in an hour. Why?" Michael repeats the info to Zavala, then says, "Give her a message for me...tell her everything's going as planned." Over on the bench, Whistler's fixed Michael with a look like, Oh? Really?
Out in the prison courtyard, the guards have delivered a few crates of produce. We see Sucre's latest delivery tucked none-too-discreetly in one of them. Sammy rolls on over and picks it up in one smooth move. We then cut to Bellick entering his cell, where he's dismayed to find a chicken foot resting on his pillow. He turns around -- there's Octavio, there to tell him, "You should have listened." Bellick asks disbelievingly, "You're going to throw down a chicken foot over a puddle of puke?" No, Octavio's going to throw it down because he can't stand the idea that nobody respects his authori-tah. As his Milli Vanilli braids swing in the breeze -- why, oh why, must so many of the gangsters in this prison have such bad hair? -- Octavio repeats that Bellick should have mopped.
Inside Lechero's lair, T-Bag makes to grab something out of a bowl in front of Sammy, and Sammy doesn't even look up from his cards as he admonishes, "Stumpy, wait your turn, man." T-Bag seethes. Sammy gives him a look like, I am just waiting for an excuse, and T-Bag reluctantly backs down...just in time for a panicky Bellick to come in, babbling about the chicken foot. Sammy coolly dismisses Bellick's issue with, "The fight goes on as planned after we eat lunch." In his little office, Lechero hears the whole thing. He comes out to remind Sammy that ultimately, Lechero still gets to decide who fights and who doesn't, adding, "It's not your place." "Well, maybe it should be," Sammy replies. We cut to T-Bag, who is not happy about this.
Then we cut to a quick scene in which the general is being apprised of Susan B.'s movements. Whistler gives the impassive Michael A Look and says, "You'd better be right."
Meanwhile, on the outside...Sucre walks into Linc's hotel room. There's a tense moment, Linc asks what happened, and then Sucre grins. He chortles, "It worked...she came up to me just like you said, and offered a bunch of cash to talk behind your back." Linc reiterates that they're sticking to "the plan," whatever that may be, and Sucre nods his assent. The two guys high-five, and Linc heads out to see Susan B. So...the two of them think they're going to do an end-run around Susan B.? Who here thinks she's on to them already?
