Sorry this is late but it's been another busy day... From now on, I think I'll have to start on these after the show goes off! Oh, by the way, Dave didn't post a recap yet so you have to deal with my very first recap LOL! Mine will probably be a little more detailed, so please forgive the length! Hope you enjoy! You will soon realize why this epi is called "Selfless"!!! Here goes:




Last week:

We left off with the guys breaking through that wall & Michael getting on the other side glass to finally get his hands on Scylla. Just as he was about to grab it, a silent alarms triggers & signals the General. He gathers his men & head down to where Scylla is kept... Gretchen & T-Bag trick Trishanne into believing they were meeting a buyer. She calls Self & they head over to the house, only to be kidnapped by Feng... Gretchen & T-Bag prepare to snatch Scylla from the guys when they come back through the closet... Gretchen gave Self something to give to Michael but I'm still not sure what it was...



This week:

Michael examines the computer with Scylla while the General makes his way to where he is. Meanwhie, TBag gets antsy about snatching Scylla from the guys. He thinks it's taking way too long but Gretchen is calm.


Just as Michael reminisces, Krantz & his goons rush from the elevator, guns ready. They surround Michael, unaware that Sucre, Mahone & Lincoln are there with guns of their own. The General begins his taunting as Michael tells him that he wanted him to come down there so he could get his card from him. Michael takes the card from him & opens the computer to reveal 6 slots for the cards to fit. The General tells Michael that he's 6 cards short when Michael pulls out the other 5 five, to Krantz's surprise! Sucre is so silly: he says "Suck it, General!" LOL I love it!



Trishanne wimpers like a baby telling Self what a horrible partner he is and what a coward he is, but it's all a distraction so Self can get out of the handcuffs and disband Feng & his band of merry men! They get loose but as Feng threatens to kill Self, Trishanne shows she's bad with a gun and shoots him! Self sends her off to get Gretchen & TBag at Gate while he cleans up.



Gretchen & T are talking to Mr. White his "Cole's" office. While he gets suspicious of Cole's answer to his question, he notices that dang gun Gretchen has stashed behind the desk. He makes an excuse to leave so he can call the police and Gretchen realizes he knows. She runs out with her MP5 pointing right for him. She & TBag force everyone is White's office then yells "NOW WHAT?" at Gretchen! I swear I balled over laughing everytime I saw that!




The General asks Mikey how he got all 5 cards. Michael returns the taunts that Krantz threw at him earlier and places the cards, which are actually keys to open the computer. Michael is able to retrieve Scylla from inside! Lincoln says "I guess right now you wished you'd framed someone else, huh, General?" Michael places Scylla in his backpack & the guys load into the elevator that the General has to activate. Because they know they'd never get out alive, they force him to join them. They all go into his office, leaving the guard to call for back up... can't figure out why they didn't take the guard hostage, too... Anyway, Michael calls Sara telling her they got Scylla & asks how things are on her end. She says she needs 5 more minutes then smiles a sneaky smirky. I've gotta tell, I LOVED Sara in this epi!!! Mahone asks if the desk where Michael is seated is the desk he gave the order to Wyatt to kill his little boy.



Trishanne makes her way to Gate where she sees the people being held hostage. Gretchen & TBag continue to argue. The General's guards rush around, shutting down the entire building in an attempt to rescue the General.



Jonathon (the General, of course) continues his taunting. He tells Linc to reach in a drawer & get a photo. Linc reminisces about the conversation he had with his dad about why he left his family. The General tells him that his father was not a data analysis and that there was a lot he didn't know about his dad or his mom! Linc grabbed him & swore to him he'd kill if he said another word.



Self's boss enters his office and reminds him of the plan and mission at stake. Meanwhile the guards stand at Krantz's door... Michael gets another headache & blurry vision. The General starts trying to bribe the guys. He offers money to Sucre for college for his little baby to Mahone for he & Pam to start another family. He offers airline tickets to Michael for he & Sara to leave.



A waiter at the luncheon where Lisa is wastes food in her lap. She rushes to the restroom to clean it off as Sara grabs her from behind, covers her mouth & puts a gun to the back of her head!!! GO SARA!!!!!!



The General attempts to leave his office telling the guys that if they kill him they have no leverage! Just then, the phone rings... it's Lisa on the other end to tell HER DAD that Sara is holding her at gunpoint! Sounds like they have leverage to me!!!!!!! She begs him to give them what they want so Sara won't kill her! OMG!!!!!!!!!! No wonder she dislikes Gretchen so much... their about the same age LOL!!!



The General is convinced that Sara, having been a doctor, wouldn't harm Lisa. Michael shows him a list of all the people they know who have died at the hands of the Company & says his daughter's life is worth no more than the people on that list. He assures him that Sara, after having gone through all she's gone through, she will kill Lisa if she has to. Lincoln demands that the General tell them how he was planning to move Scylla.



As Gretchen & TBag are STILL arguing like Bobby & Whitney, Trishanne sneaks in to free the hostages. Mr. White decides he wants to run out before the others & Gretchen sees him, fires off her machine gun & kills him. She and TBag escape while in a gun battle with Trishanne. Funny thing about this is, Trishanne had a handgun & the other two had frickin' machine guns... Hmm, who do you think was gonna win that fight anyway? Nevertheless, Trishanne held her own!



The guys taunt the General as they walk him out of the building to the armored truck that was waiting to move Scylla. Sara makes Lisa tell her bodyguard who's knocking at the door to tell him that she's fine. She tries to convince Sara that she's so innocent & Michael & Lincoln are the bad guys, but Sara basically tells her to get a life because she's going to do what she has to do to stop her & her father's trecherous company.



Here we go again: Gretchen & TBag... yep they are STILL at it, arguing in the garage. She wipes down her gun, throws it in the dumpster & tells "Cole" to do the same. Just as he dumps his gun, she pulls another one on him saying he's the only one who can identify her & link her to the crimes. Just then, Trishanne peels around the corner & TBag gets away from Gretchen as she flees as well... Trishanne captures TBag.



As the guys walk the General to the armored truck, he tells Lincoln that their father was a Company executioner - like Gretchen & Wyatt - and the men he trained will be coming after them! Lincoln gets so furious that he pulls a gun on Krantz as he walks away but he doesn't shoot him.



Lisa's bodyguard begin to worry so they go back to the restroom to check on her; they find her sitting in a stall tied up; Sara's already gone. As she walks past the waiter who wasted the food on Lisa, she tips him!



As the General calls Lisa to verify she's ok & orders her to a safe location, the guys take the armored truck to the airport. Michael calls self to let him know they have Scylla & will meet him at the rendezvous point. Of course they are being followed by Company dudes, so Mike & Linc split from Mahone & Sucre. The Company, to ensure Scylla does not leave the airport, have all flights delayed and have their men follow the brothers through the terminal. Michael sends a text to Mahone simply saying "NOW". When Mahone gets the message, he calls someone to tell them that they need to check something out.



Just as the Company's henchmen catch up to Mike & Linc and take the backpack, airport security show up and ask the goon to come with them. As Michael & Lincoln run away, they security take the man to a room and ask him to empty the bag. He insists they have the wrong person & that he only has a laptop & external hard drive. The security guard take out the laptop and a book entitled "All's Well that Ends Well and other Comedies"!!! OMG! They dooped him! Why people underestimate Scofield is beyond me! Mahone & Sucre have Scylla!



Trishanne & TBag talk. He asks her if she would have believed that he was a businessman if she didn't know who he really was. He begins to quote a line from Gate as he feels really stupid about all he's done!



Michael delivers Scyall to Self. He congratulates the guys on a job well done & tell them that their convoy would be there in about 30 minutes to take them to be processed. He hands Michael a folder containing their transfer papers. Sara tells Self that Michael needs medical treatment & he says he'll send an ambulance with the convoy and that Michael would get the best care available.



The General sat in his office confused. One of his guys asks what he wants to do and all he could reply with was: "I don't know."



The guys and Sara talk about all they've been through and how much better things will be now that this is all over.



Self meets up with Trishanne, shows Scylla to her & asks her if there was anyone else that may have been involved and if there were any other buyers.



An hour passed as the guys, & Sara wait for Self's people to arrive. Sara asks Michael to call him to find out what's going on but when Michael calls, the phone just rings. Suddenly an error message comes on: "The number you have reached is not in service at this time and there is no new number." Michael looks around in disbelief.



Trishanne asks Self if she can take a good look at Scylla. Self tells her she did a good job. He turns, says, I'm sorry & shoots her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Michael grabs the envelope with their "transfer papers"... it's a bunch of blank pages!!! They KNOW Self has screwed them. He slides the envelope away from him & says "Self. Self" then gets that Season 3 "Sona" look in his eyes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
