The Enemy of My Enemy Is My Friend
claudio_carvalho21 October 2008
Michael and Lincoln escape with Kellerman, who crosses a road block using his badge, and they fly to Blackfoot, Montana, to meet Terrence Steadman. In Fox River, Bellick is having a hard time especially with Banks and his gang. In Ness City, Kansas, T-Bag meets Susan and her children; when she tries to kill him, he ties the whole family to chairs. In Mound City, Nebraska, Dede is missing her mother and C-Note is trying to contact her. Mahone is alive in a hospital in Albuquerque; when Mahone tells that he is out, Bill Kim hits his son with a car to intimidate him. Mahone leaves the hospital and calls him telling that he is back. Kellerman, Michael and Lincoln abduct Steadman and Kellerman kills the two bodyguards. However, they realize that Steadman is actually a John Doe, since his existence has been erased by the Company. Michael decides to call the press to turn himself in with tragic consequences.

In "John Doe", Bellick tastes all the corrupted system in Fox River that he used on his favor. C-Note is in check-mate with the situation of Kacee. T-Bag will probably revenge against Susan and her family. Mahone is now an unpredictable time-bomb ready to explode. The attitude of Terrence Steadman was predictable. My vote is nine.

Title (Brazil): "João Ninguém" ("John Doe")

I expect it to get boring..but it still gets interesting. GREAT STUFF.. I want more

You ended the last episode with kellerman acting as if he will save them. Prison break then goes to a interval with the audience thinking if he is trustable. This episode gets more and more closer, but then gives the viewers more entertainment and adventure to look forward to. If you are a prison break fan like me, honestly you don't want it to end so soon, a few more episodes. This episode focuses on 4 main stories, The first is the actual Micheal, Kellerman and Lincoln. This keeps you hooked on with some great action and adventure. The Second is the Jailer and his day in prison, being forced to be a b i t c h, which is so entertaining to watch. The third is T Bag and the family, makes you wonder if he will do something nasty, hope not. The fourth is C Note and his dilemma. Anyway this episode was enjoyable. As usual another great episode.

One more to the run
laodaliscarubia3 February 2016
T Bag stays in the house of the woman who sent him to prison and kidnap the whole family in their own place. He wants to be a "happy family" like they used to be. Michael and Lincoln decide to follow Kellerman on the run. Mahome surprisingly is alive and doesn't doubt on telling Kim that the one who had shot him was one of them, Kellerman. He's OK but is very hurt and decides to leave the mission of Scotfield's hunt. Kim wouldn't accept a No as an answer so he sends him a message... His son is (accidentaly?) victim of a car crash... Of course because of this, Mahome gets back into the "job". In the other side is Kellerman who wants to find the only prove that they need, Terrence Stegman. They 3 go to his hidden house and kidnap him. Their idea is to take him to the authorities back in Washington DC. But... Terrence is not an easy man and doesn't want to be exposed. Also, he has a tense relation with Lincoln. Michael doesn't want to go to Washington and wants the press to look for them in their hotel. So he makes a call giving the notice of their place... Terrence wouldn't wait for the press to arrive and in a fast movement he kills himself. Michael is shocked but Lincoln and Kellerman won't stay any longer in that hotel room where the police will arrive in a few seconds... Another time, they have to run... How will they prove Lincoln's innocence? It seems we all have to wait...

Interesting but not exciting enough
Mike-on-TV23 January 2007
Warning: Spoilers
It has been a while since Prison Break went on hiatus. So long in fact that I have no idea where we left off, so let's all recap together, Sarah is in the wind. Sucre got away. C-Note has gone mad and gotten his wife, Kacee arrested. T-Bag has gone madder and is tracking down his would-be victim from the past. Bellick is in jail. Linc & Michael have been saved by Kellerman and Mahone has been shot. OK good.

Tonight begins the reconstruction of the original plan that Michael had started. Kellerman is able to convince the brothers that he has flipped and is working against President Reynolds. There is no question about that when Kellerman kills two agents who were guarding Terrence Steadman. Now he and the duo of escapees shack up in a motel with Kellerman and wait it out. That becomes a bigger problem then we would think.

Michael begins to stress about being so close to releasing the truth to the world and makes that ever so important decision to turn himself in to the news papers. But Steadman is able to snatch a gun and takes the selfish way out, all over the pretty painting. He is now just a John Doe and it is one of the final nails in the coffin for the escaped cons because Steadman being alive is of course the one thing that could prove Linc didn't kill him. Confused? Good! So good luck getting out of this one guys. Anyways a long way away we have T-Bag re-acquainting himself with Susan Hollander and her family. Lets hope family antics don't turn this show into a comedy because the fact that getting the $5 Million was the first thing on his list of to-do's before getting even with Susan seems a little odd to me. If you're a crazy who has a bizarre vendetta then why are plotting to steal bundles of cash first? But that's not the only storyline gone arouse. C-Note does not have a leg to stand on. He was able to get his wife and kid away from the police scramble that he put his homies through but now there is know where to go and the kid is asking why her mother was picked up by the cops. Nice hole you're in bud.

Its nice to have the show back. I got hooked on 24 this season and now I'm in that mode where every episode should be an hour of the whole season. But that's OK because Prison Break does move quickly. One of my problems though, is that almost every commercial break has a cliffhanger that is more than likely a gun being pointed at someone. I think that we need a little more resolution so we can really care about the other situations going on. But they are still doing a good job.

Season of Stupidity especially - 3
jitmehra11 October 2017
So again here, they do the dumbest thing possible. If it weren't fiction I would seriously doubt Michael's intentions to save himself and his brother thanks to the stupid things he does. So The brothers have the best thing they could hope for - Terence Stead man, alive and kicking, passport to their innocence, freedom everything and a Secret Service Agent now turned against the President helping them. It's like God's blessing them with everything they could ask for, but no, they have to do something stupid. So Michael here is not able to bear that he is not the in charge. And despite Keller man explained to to him how important is Steadman alive for them, how he has the answers to all of Caroline's secrets that eventually will set them free, how Steadman is useless otherwise and how Michael and Lincoln are totally screwed without his help, Michael good s on to act all macho, As if he is suffering from some disorder where he has to prove he is the leader. He goes ahead and calls a media house telling them his address and hoping to turn himself in. Surprisingly they are not prepared for Steadman trying to escape after this call. The old man manages to snatch the gun from Lincoln, the guy who's supposed to be so tough. Michael emotionally blackmails him about how so many ppl are dead because of him and asks him to turn himself in. Like such moral lectures work in the real world. Once satisfied , they don't bother to even try to get the gun from him. And tortured by Michael' s blackmailing Steadman kills himself. Height of nonsense. You would ruin something so perfect that was given to you only if you purposely wanted to screw everything. So much for male machoism and men trying to take all decisions.
