Let's begin with the first real news,
the season finale press release from April 25. We learn that "familiar faces return to help Michael with his last shot at getting Scylla in the proper hands and dismantling The Company once and for all". Those familiar faces include Sucre, C-Note & Kellerman! Yep, that's right, Kellerman. His appearance is said to be in Epi 22, "Killing Your Number". Felicia Lang, Mahone's old FBI cohort & Sofia, Linc's girl (used-to-be Whistler's girl) are also said to appear. We know that Sucre & C-Note feel they owe Michael & Lincoln for including them in the escape plan from S1. We also know that the Company sent their goons to kill Kellerman in S2, but what happened in the back of that van? Was it the Company goons that really showed up or did someone else, from possibly Aldo Burrows' group, bail Kellerman out? Either way, he's back & I'm guessing he's seeking revenge on the General for turning his back on him after all his years of service, which means he's on Michael & Lincoln's side!
Moving on: next we find that
Sara's pregnant! Oh what a tangled web we've weaved! The Man tells us that Sara has a son, whom we'll see as the episode flashes forward four years in the last scenes. We'll also find out what happens to these guys as well: Sucre, Mahone, Lincoln, C-Note, T-Bag, Sofia, LJ, Self, Kellerman. Notice there's no mention of Michael! Well, stay tuned!
Jodi Lyn O'Keefe returns to the show for the 2 hour DVD special to be released in July 2009. She chimes in to let us know
what happens with Gretchen: Gretchen was taken into custody and imprisoned, but didn't manage to break out. The whole point to seeing Gretchen in prison is b/c someone else will be there & to see how this interaction will commence (this takes place during the time gap). Gretchen is pretty hard in prison but keeps to herself b/c her main goal is to get out & be with Emily. The other inmates know she's not to be messed with, so they leave her alone!
Now, who could possibly end up in prison with Gretchen & why would this interaction be of any interest to the viewers? Well, keep reading & you might figure it all out!
Here are a few
photos from the series finale (see them all here) that leave us wondering about what to expect!
We already know that Lincoln was shot by Christina last week in Epi 4.20, "Cowboys & Indians". We also know that Mahone & Michael were together when he got the phone call from mommy from hell, so how does Mahone get to Lincoln & what the heck is gonna happen to Sara in the hands of General Krantz? Sucre & C-Note are discussing something: could it be how to save Lincoln or Sara, how to help Michael keep up with Scylla or better yet how to save him or something else? Does Michael get to Lincoln (the bloody hands)?
Ok,
now it starts to get interesting! The Man tells us that T-Bag's fate is said to be in the hands of all the others. They have the choice of whether to have him exonerated or not! Hmm... we'll examine this in detail later! For now, let's talk about why, when asked again about the 4 year flash forward, does the man mention "Michael", Lincoln, Sara, Sucre & Mahone? Is there a reason Michael's name is mentioned with quotations? If you haven't been reading the spoilers, I don't want to say too much about this. These details have a lot to do with the 2 hour DVD special & the time gap between 2005 & the four year flash forward to present day. So unfortunately, I have to cut it here & move on =( I should, however, interject with this: You will NOT need to see eps 23 and 24 (2 hour movie - "Old Ball & Chain" and "Free") to understand the end [of the series] which airs this Friday. There will only be one small question at the end of ep 22 that will be answered in eps 23 and 24. Can you guess what that question will be? I can, but you gotta watch the finale to find out! Oh, Michael will find out about the pregnancy Friday, only Sara isn't the one who tells him! Don't look for Maricruz to return in the finale. While Sucre is still with her, we'll only get to see him and his daughter. Oh and that part up there where we talked about Michael being faced with saving Linc or Sara - well, Mahone helps him come up with a plan to attempt to save both of them so we'll get to see how that unfolds. Also, we learn that someone ends up back in Fox River! Could it be that the gang decide to not have T-Bag exonerated & he is the one who returns? I guess we'll have to wait to see!
Okie, so now things get a juicy! In
this scoop the question is raised about Michael's survival! Again, in case you haven't been reading the spoilers, we won't discuss Michael's survival here, but I can talk about these 10 points that were raised:
* Someone takes a bullet to the chest: Who could this be? We already know Linc's been shot so I doubt seriously he gets shot again! Could it be Michael? The question's been raised about his survival, but it can't possibly be him! The General's due for a bullet but so is Christina Rose!
* Someone has a very new girlfriend: A new GF? What the heck? Who has time for a GF in all this turmoil lol!
* A man dies
(actually we learn that two men die): Can't be Lincoln, right? Michael & Mahone had to save him! Perhaps it's the General; I did say it's about his time!
* A woman dies: OH PLEASE LET IT BE SARA LOL! But we know it can't be if the flash forward shows her with her son... oh well, wishful thinking! Perhaps it's Christina Rose! She needs to die again, too!
* Two women are held hostage: Hmm... two women held hostage? Who could this be? Not many women left except Sara & Christina. Sara's already a hostage & Christina is likened to be caught by Michael, Mahone or the other guys! Perhaps that's what Sucre & C-Note were discussing at the table!
* Someone ends up a vegetable, and we're not talking about the yummy, delicious kind: A vegetable, eh? Sounds interesting but I have no guesses - could be whomever takes the "bullet to the chest".
* Someone goes back to Fox River State Penitentiary: My money's on T-Bag!
* Someone ends up in the electric chair: Electric chair - YIKES! Could it be T-Bag? He's done lots of stuff to earn him that spot & if he's the one back in Fox River, it does seem likely!
* Two nemeses have very similar fates: Now what two nemeses could have similar fates? Christina & Padman - both dead or in prison? IDK, I'm guessing now!
* Sarah is very dangerous with a gun (see above): So Sara's the one with the gun! With this said, it's evident that she's the one shooting someone else in the chest & my guess is mommy from hell is the recipient!
There's a little more we can discuss but, again, if you're not keeping up with spoilers, I don't want to give up too much. You're gonna have to watch the finale, which I know you will! Then you gotta buy the 2 hour special DVD! I can't wait to talk about that, but I'll have to wait until series finale!
