Episode Report Card Sobell: B- | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT A Girl Named Disaster
By Sobell | Season 3 | Episode 9 | Aired on 01.13.2008
Meanwhile, Octavio's beating the crap out of Bellick. That lasts until Bellick manages to get his knuckles in Octavio's eyes, at which the acetone he soaked into the rag does a number on the other guy's vision. Once Octavio can't see straight, Bellick moves in and kills him with a punch to the face. Then, he raises his arms and gives a big, primal scream. T-Bag, watching, puts it all together. He quietly swoops by to let Bellick know that he knows.
On the outside...in one of the most ridiculous sequences yet, the handcuffed Susan B. manages to free herself and kill everyone in the jeep right outside L.J.'s old location, up to and including Zavala. She grabs Zavala's mobile phone, calls a number, and orders someone on the other end, "Pick me up. I'm at the shack. Bring towels." Then she dials another number and says coldly, "Hi, Lincoln." I don't think they're going to be chatting about how Michael's ineffable smugness wraps around him like a blanket.
And then back at Sona, we see Sammy meeting with Augusto at visitation. Augusto's all, "Did you open the package?" and Sammy replies casually that he plans to get around to it. Augusto tells him, "You need to make a choice. Lechero's days are numbered. You agree? Then you know what you need to do...now is the time to make a move." Sammy gives Augusto a long, measured look.
Inside Zavala's office, a new authority figure comes in and asks why the inmates are still there. Michael asks what happened to the general, and Colonel Second-String replies, "The general was found dead this morning off Highway 2." So does that mean the guys spent the night in the office? I have no idea what the sequence of events here was -- whether we're only one day out from the big helicopter episode or two or ten. The laws of space and time no longer apply. Day has become night. Mike Huckabee has embraced the works of Stephen Jay Gould. It all makes sense in Prison Break Land. Anyway, Whistler gives Michael a look like, I told you she was trouble. Michael passes on his condolences, and the two guys head back into the prison.
Within seconds, Michael's sidled over to Lechero and said, "If you still want to get out of here, I need your phone." After checking to make sure nobody sees him handing it over, Lechero tells Michael to take the call inside. He rings Linc, who is none too pleased about the most recent sequence of events, but eventually he confirms that L.J.'s still alive. After that terse conversation, Michael starts staring broodingly at Whistler.
