Great episode! I can't wait for the next one! I want to know what is on that Flash disk.Didn't you think T-bag was going to kill himself? the way he looked at the axe was really odd since it also made you think he was going to kill the kids and their mother.

They sure packed a lot into this episode. Plenty of progression for all four storylines going on right now.

First off, the main storyline. It was nice to see Pope back, even if it's just for this one episode. Also, it was nice to finally see Kim get some of what he deserve. Here's hoping he gets pwned some more. I too am anxious to see what is on the audio tape. It obviously involves Caroline and has something to do with the conspiracy, but the specifics will be interesting.

To be perfectly honest, I was very surprised that T-Bag let the family go after Susan rejected him. He seemed to have legitimately pure intentions, which is something that I'm sure a good number of us weren't sure of during the progression of his storyline.

The biggest "LOL irony" moment for me came when Sucre's car broke down, then he hitched a ride with the same guy that was driving to work to hunt him down. Then again, by TV standards, it's a fairly routine plot twist.

I'm not sure exactly how C-Note plans on finding Michael, but I guess he had to find some way to help his daughter and get his wife released. Teaming up with Mahone seemed like a pretty good way to do that, although it means that his days are definitely numbered. It also seemed that Mahone felt a bit of sympathy for him because his son was in a similar situation.

Damn, I can't believe next week is already the 40th episode of the series.

I don't know why,but I have a feeling that Mahone will either kill Bellick and C-Note or lead them to their deaths.Look what happened to Tweener,John and Haywire.

I agree, there was a lot to digest in this episode.

Honestly feeling sympathy for T-Bag? Who would've thought? Sure, he's not going about it the right way, but what do you expect for someone that's never had a normal family life? I'm glad he let Susan and the kids go, but now what's he going to do?

Desperate times call for desperate measures. C-Note has, unfortunately, exhausted all of his options in trying to take care of his daughter on his own. He decides to give himself up to Mahone in order to help his family. Naturally, he now has to track down Michael. Which he has no way of doing...

'Cept for that website Mike mentioned to Sucre back when they were digging up the garage (which C-Note walked in on).

As for Michael and the 'gang,' they had their own desperation in bringing in ex-Warden Henry Pope to get the 'evidence' from the cigar club. And they almost got him killed by Kim. For some reason, though, I think Pope thinks it was worth it, especially after deciding to back out of his deal with Michael.

Now... what's on that disk drive?

"Bad Blood": 4/5.

[Peter Paltridge]

C-Note's plotline: so sad. Sucre's plotline: so glad. Highs and lows this time around.

I hope that flash drive is durable. Any time you've got a piece of electronics as evidence it never ends well. It'll get run over by a car, fall in the river, get swallowed by Bellick--whatever can happen to that drive WILL happen.

T-Bag was almost as sad as C-Note tonight. The truth is that no one will probably ever love that crazy guy, unless they were just as crazy.

[Bird Boy]

I hope that flash drive is durable.

I've had the same model since Thanksgiving and it's a pretty durable little guy. It won't survive being run over, but general toss around and whatnot it can withstand pretty easy.

What I had to laugh at was that I'm pretty sure that particular model of flash drive wasn't available until middle of last year, which would mean it wouldn't have existed in Prison Break's timeline, unless they're in the the future. :p

Still a great episode. The reveal of Scofield to Pope at the doorway was pitch perfect. Loved every minute of their interaction. Kind of bummed Linc didn't interact with the Pope at all...

I was really happy to see Henry Pope again. He was a bright spot of season one and the way Michael had to turn on him during the escape was rough on both of them and the Pope showing that hurt while still being angry was a big moment in the episode. He showed what kind of man he was when he helped Michael and Sara even after Michael gave him all the power. I was so afraid Kim and the other agent were going to get him as no one is really safe in this show, but thank goodness they had Lincoln and Kellerman watching from the roof and Michael sped around. I loved watching Linc beat on Kim. I was a little surprised they left Kellerman behind, but I suppose it's not a complete surprise. Now what is on that memory stick?!!

It was a very TV coincidence that led Sucre to be picked up by someone coming in to work to look for him, but it did pump up the intensity once the other guard showed him the picture! I was happy to see Camille Guaty as Maricruz. With "The Nine" I was concerned about whether or not it would be her. That show seems dead in the water, but the production still could have not matched up.

Theodore Bagwell really does care. I've had a feeling that however poorly he was going about it that his heart was in the right place. It's weird feeling real sympathy for a character that has been so evil and uncaring for seemingly much of his adult life. While it doesn't mean she will love him or anything, I think Susan must know that it was Teddy who made the call to save them.

Out of all the 'minor' escapees, C-Note is the one who seemed to have the best intentions. He's just a father who wants the best for his family and while no saint, is a pretty honorable man. He just made a deal with the devil's servant though and I'm afraid about how it might work out.



Naturally, he now has to track down Michael. Which he has no way of doing...

'Cept for that website Mike mentioned to Sucre back when they were digging up the garage (which C-Note walked in on).Exactly, what seemed like a minor piece of 'previously on Prison Break' turned out to be the key to C-Note not being dead. It took me a while to remember that after I finished the episode, but then it all of a sudden dawned on me!
