Doing for Their Country
claudio_carvalho28 September 2008
Warden Pope asks Captain Bellick to find the murderer of Bob at any cost. Meanwhile Michael needs to access a restricted storage room that is also a private recreation room of the C.O.s, and the only prisoner with free access is DB. He invites DB to join his team, but the old man refuses the invitation. Meanwhile a bomb explodes at Veronica's place and she goes with Nick to an isolated hideout that belonged to his father. Lincoln is threatened by a visitor that promises to kill his son. Kellerman and Hale kill LJ mother and stepfather and frame him, faking fingerprints in the murder weapon.

"The Old Head" is a tense but flawed episode. First, how could Veronica and Nick be presumed dead after the explosion of her apartment without their human remains? Second, why Lincoln did not mention the menace of his visitor to the warren after the notification of the death of LJ mother and stepparent? In a security prison, she certainly registered to have access to the visiting room. Last but not the least, the prisoner accused had all the elements necessary to incriminate T-Bag (inclusive the informer is the "mate" of T-Bag). Nevertheless the surprising twist in the end disclosing the identity of the conspirator gives a magnificent conclusion to this engaging episode. My vote is nine.

Title (Brazil): "Perseguição" (Persecution")

TENSED BUT PLOT HOlE
darkk-0243028 April 2020
Warning: Spoilers
It was great but certain plot holes stop being it from More satisfactory . 1.Why Vice President & her agent consider Veronica as Dead when no dead body was found? 2.How veronica & Nick are so less harmed or injured after being so close to door that was Blasted after opening? 3.Why Lincoln did not mention to Pope about the suspicious Visitor who threatened him they difinitely have CCTV footages or Entry Register. 4.The police officer who was investigating murder of Bob got easily fooled by T-BAG as the informant was T-BAGs cell mate plus given the Circumstances and attittude T-Bag should be the first suspicion

Little Character Development: 1.The death of LJ's Mom & stepdad was little underwhelming as we dont get any previous scenes of LJ with his Mom & Step dad about their relationship after the family feud in earlier episodes

Traumatizing

First of all, decent episode overall. Kept me hooked the whole time.

The episode left me traumatized however when the captain killed the cat. It was one of the saddest sights I've seen in a TV show.

Solid Episode

Warning: Spoilers
Episodes have improved greatly since T-Bags return, he adds humour and depth to the story. Although, I do not enjoy Prison Break from Veronica and her business partner very much. We start to see more of Lincoln's son, who I think may grow to be a bigger part in this series. Any bit with Michael and the escape crew discussing is a great scene.
