Episode 408 "The Price" promo & sneak peek coming soon!
Last week on Prison Break, the gang got the fourth piece of Scylla, while betting on some horses. Mahone got arrested by the police, and Michael doing what he does best, put together a plan to break Mahone out. T-Bag found an 8×10 sized closet, that is apparently important, then he got caught as a fraud. Then at the end, he had a run in with Gretchen.
This episode kicked right off with T-Bag tied to a chair. After carving his good arm up with a knife, Gretchen was in the mood to kill him if he didn’t work with her, so obviously he had no choice in the matter. ["...You're messing with the wrong bitch!" Did I mention how much I love Gretchen? She's one bad chica!]
At the warehouse, the boys found out that the next cardholder they are after was at Las Vegas, so that was their next move. Meanwhile Bellick got a quick call from the secretary at Gate, telling him that she knew where T-Bag was. So the plan was Roland, Lincoln, Sucre, and Sara were off to Las Vegas, while Michael, Mahone, and Bellick were off to find T-Bag. Roland took this time to go insane about Las Vegas. YA WOOHOO VEGAS, BABAY YEAAAH! ~ My interpretation of Roland [Something seemed suspcious about the Gate secretary's phone call. They should have been a bit more careful. Oh yeah, Roland is a nutjob LOL! He gets told shut up more & more each episode! I'm thinking someone's gonna' hit him sooner or later & it's either gonna' be Linc or Sucre!]
Meanwhile, the General ordered the hit on Don’s life… [You have to admire a guy that's as meticulous & calculating as Wyatt! Not saying I like him, but there's something intriguing about his cold demeanor! As soon as Padman (the General, as we're calling him these days0 says "make it look like an accident", Wyatt loads the trunk with his "kill him, make it look like an accident then cover it up" material!]
So Michael, Mahone, and Bellick fell right into a trap. T-Bag stopped them all at gunpoint, and ordered them all into a van to go to an undisclosed location. Mahone, being the rebellion that he is, decided that this is where he gets off, taking a death defying jump off the building, landing safely below. [Didn't I say to be careful? Geez! When Bellick called Michael, telling him to come talk to "this chick", they should have known something wasn't right! Leave it to Mahone's intuition to be uneasy about the whole thing, but it was too late. Glad he got away; he just got out of a jam last week!]
Back at Whistler’s place, T-Bag had everyone tied up. He demanded that Michael figure out what the pages of the bird book meant. He gave Michael a ton of pages from the book, and told him to put the puzzle pieces together. First, he had to find the corner pieces. [Typical Scofield: the problem solver... the one who's gotta' figure everything out. He's got a trick up his sleeve for old T!!]
While Michael was doing his thing, he checked his ankle real quick, showing us he still had his tracker tied to his foot. While T-Bag was away, Gretchen grabbed him, and told him about the trackers, and to make sure Michael didn’t know she was in on the whole thing. Meanwhile, Don met up with Mahone. Mahone found out where Michael and Bellick were being held, and he said he’d personally take care of it. [Mahone definitely went to take care of the problem at hand! But by the time he got there, they were already gone - they headed over to the Gate secretary's apartment... I really need to remember this girl's name *making mental note to look her name up* Michael, being the brilliance that he is, left behind an origami bird made out of one of the Bird Book pages. The clue on the page was "GATE";)]
Wyatt was just about to kill Don, when he found his house completely empty, he informed the General, but the General was preoccupied. Don was at his office, waiting to talk to him. Basically, Don told the General that if he winds up dead, there are documents that he sent to several people in the higher ups that if opened will lead straight to the General, so he said back off. [Of course the General didn't take that so kindly. He basically threatened Self but by the time Self finished his ranting, I think the General got the idea! I'm sure he's making other plans to handle Self.]
Michael finished his project, and found out the pages put together don’t make a map, but make a blue print. Maybe to remember the blue print, Michael should tattoo it onto his body. Anyways, it’s a blue print to Gate Corporation. So Michael and T-Bag left for Gate, which seemed very empty when they got there. They went straight for the 8×10 room, ripped open the floor, and opened a hatch. The hatch led to a trap set up by Michael and Mahone, who locked him in a room. Left to get caught by the police. [One of my favorites scenes - it was hilarious listening to T-Bag scream LOL! Michael was very cocky, much to the unsuspecting T's surprise! Being clobbered by Alex & pushed in that tiny room, locked up tight, was not a part of the plan!]
[I'm rearranging the original recap... follow along!]
Meanwhile, in Las Vegas:
Lincoln told Dr. Sara about Michael’s nosebleeds. He told her that their mother had the same thing at Michael’s age and that she died of an aneurysm. That doesn’t sound too good for Michael. [Sad, sad... I was very NOT happy to hear this news, especially the part about the brothers' mom having these nosebleeds reoccur then die when she was the same age Michael is now! This further allows the notion of this being the final season to sink in *BIG SIGH*]
So the plan was on. Sara was bait for the cardholder. She told him that one of her goals while in Vegas was to apparently snap a picture in a hotel room. Trying to get him to invite her to his room, but he blew her off. Then the bartender told her that the older man was going around hitting on men. So the gang decided that Sucre would be gay in order to get the card. Sucre was able to get up to the old man’s room pretty easily. There the group was able to get the fifth card, and we then learned that the cardholder just wanted Sucre to sleep with his wife, cause he can’t. So they got the fifth card easily... [I laughed so hard during this scene! Sucre's like "hell nah, dude" - that's my interpretation LOL! I must say he was damn cute in the nice shirt he wore during the casino scene but he was even cuter in the poolside scene =) The look on his face as Scuderi - who, by the way, plays Mike on 24 - moves over to sit next to him while he's undressing is absolutely priceless! The look on his face when he gets up to the old guy's suite is, as well, without value when he realizes it's the wife he's expected to "bang"! I love it... Sucre gets some and they get the 5th card copied! All in all, I'd say it was a good day! Until...]
Roland thought he’d try his luck with the slots. Apparently his magical device can make him win slots too. I gotta get my hands on one of these things. Can I find them on E-bay? Well it wasn’t long before the security guards came by, and confiscated his device, and kicked him out. [Roland does it again, but this time it wasn't his mouth that got him in trouble! I couldn't believe it actually done that crap. Security had already peeped him out when he first walked into the casino. He just couldn't lie low... he had to try his luck! Great - the "magical" steal anything device is gone! Now what?]
So now the team are in big trouble. Without the device, they can’t get the last card. He said he can rebuild it, but that would take months, which they don’t have. My guess? They might have to break into the casino to get the device back. Also, whats going to happen to Michael? I sure hope he turns out okay. [Speaking of Michael...]
...Gretchen gave Michael a call saying hello, and to make sure T-Bag gets out, or he’s not getting the second half of the bird book. [Looks like Gretchen was cautious in not giving Michael the entire book to decipher. With T-Bag under wraps, she had no choice but to show her face to get what she wants.]
Well we’ll just have to wait for the next episode to find out more.
[*Mental note conquered* The GATE secretary's name is Trishanne! Told you I'd get it ;)]
