Episode 409 "Greatness Achieved"Airdate: 2008-11-03After Gretchen killed Blauner, the Gate worker who caught T-Bag as a fraud in the previous episode, things are starting to look shady at Gate as an investigation began. A federal agent asked T-Bag tricky questions, but since T-Bag is sly, he got himself out of that mess. Sooner or later, however, T-Bag knew that his cover would be blown if they continued to dig deeper. So he thought up a brilliant plan, he would take the fraud he was caught with, and frame it on Blauner. Since he knew the company didn’t want to risk being audited by IRS agents, it sorted itself out.
Back at the warehouse, when everyone else was away, Mahone decided it was about time for him and Wyatt to have a little one-on-one time. He wanted revenge for what Wyatt did to his son, and his way of revenge - slow and excruciating torment. Later, after he had his fun, Mahone brought Wyatt to a pier, and pushed him in, holding a block of cement. Seemed a little cartoony to me, but I liked it. [Mahone attempted to get a hold of Wyatt before he actually got a hold of him but Self stopped him telling him this story about how he lost his wife & baby in childbirth. Mahone waited as Sara talked to Wyatt. Wyatt tried to sway her by telling her that he knew people who could help her & Michael but she had to trust him. He told her simply if she did, it would all be over, but she walked away. Sara's conversation with Wyatt gave Don Self just what he needed to make sure the call to the General could be made! Mahone went to work torturing Wyatt! He pulled out a 5" needle & stuck in in Wyatt's fingertip causing extreme pain & hot flashes. Because he knew Wyatt's body would begin to shut down from the pain & thus not feel it after a while, he hooked him up to a car battery & heart monitor so he could shock him when his heart rate dropped... I LOVE MAHONE!!!!!!! After Wyatt couldn't take it any longer, he finally decided to make the call to Pam telling her he was sorry for killing her son. Then Mahone took him out to the pier with a cinderblock chained to his hands & pushed him in the water. I was actually hoping he would shoot him in the head so he could fall in from the impact of hte gunshot, but oh well... Wyatt's gone & that's all that matters!]
Don Self put together a fake recording of Wyatt, telling the General that everyone had been killed. He did this by putting together bits and pieces of when Wyatt was talking earlier, it was quite ingenious. The General bought it when he was called, but he still wants Scylla moved. After the General got the call Gretchen showed up with a gun raised. With his mind tricks, the General convinced Gretchen that she was still his girl, and then the two shared a nice smooch. (I think I threw up a little in my mouth.) So now we are led to believe that Gretchen is back in the company as the General’s number two girl. [I'm with Dave... that scene was beyond sickening. It was like seeing the old wrinkle guy from Star Wars, you know the Senator, kiss somebody... eck! Gretchen is a wise one, so I know she didn't fall for this... I truly believe this is a part of her plan... I'm telling ya'll, I LOVE Gretchen this season! I am waiting for the moment she gets to punch Lisa in the mouth. I do NOT like her at all.]
So in Gate’s basement, the problem is a giant pipe that runs through the room. There’s no way above or below, so the only way is through. They were able to stop the water from flowing, but only for an hour, so they could cut through. They were going to place a second pipe in between the the first one, so they could simply crawl through. Michael had another one of his mysterious problems, this time it got worse. He got really dizzy, and had to have Sucre cover for him. [Michael seems really sick now. He pretended to bend down to the floor to get something when he gets this massive headache/dizzy spell... remember how that thing up the nose killed Lindsey in MI:III & how her head twitched & her eyes went all crossed? Well that's how he was looking! I was scared for him. So was Sucre!]
Well the job was almost done, all they had to do was push the pipe through, but it was too heavy, Lincoln and Bellick jumped in to guide it to the other side. At the very last second, the support beam collapsed, and Bellick sacrificed himself to make sure the team got the job done! Wow, Prison Break has gone a long way from its first introduction of Bellick, the bully prison guard that kills inmates cats, to a crying wimp, to a hero! What an explosive come back for Prison Break after it’s short hiatus! [I was so pround of Bellick. I have never been a fan of his but this season, he came through more than once. He went out on a limb for Lincoln before and this time proved he was truly a team player. It was a sad scene watching Linc look at Bellick all glassy eyed, then watching the water rush in as Bellick closed his eyes =( He will be missed but I'm glad he went out like a soldier & not a punk! And I'm glad the gang will be back next week!]
