- Lincoln, Sucre, Sara and Roland follow a Scylla cardholder to Las Vegas, where Roland has his device commandeered after he gets caught gambling.
- Gretchen tortures T-Bag and asks about the Bird's Guide and Scylla. Meanwhile, the Agrishow executive Howard Scuderi travels with his wife and the fifth card to Las Vegas. General Krantz calls Wyatt and tells him that Don Self is the head of the snake that is threatening The Company, and he asks the killer to eliminate Self, simulating an accident. Trishanne calls Bellick and says that she has information about T-Bag, and requests the promised reward. Michael stays with Bellick and Mahone to chase T-Bag while the rest of the group travels to Las Vegas. Bellick calls Michael and tells him that Trishanne is requesting more money, and when he goes with Mahone to meet the receptionist, they are captured by T-Bag; however, Mahone escapes from the van. Michael is forced by T-Bag to work with the Bird's Guide, but the hidden Gretchen sees the GPS monitor around the ankle of Bellick. When Mahone arrives in the apartment tracking the equipment, he finds it empty and the monitors on the table; however Michael left an origami with a clue for him. Lincoln tells Sara that his mother had a brain tumor with an aneurysm and that she died when she was thirty one years old. He says that Michael is the same age and his nose is also bleeding. Gretchen kidnaps Andy, forces him to sign a resignation letter and kills him. Wyatt arrives in Self's house (but it is empty), while the agent pays a visit to General Krantz and tells him that if he disappears or dies, he has sent documentation to five lawyers implicating him. Lincoln and his group find that the fifth card is in Scuderi's apartment and Sara tries to seduce him to go to his room. However, the bartender tells that Scuderi is gay, and Sucre is assigned to "visit" him, having a surprising encounter. Meanwhile Michael finds an access hatch below the carpet of the locker and T-Bag has a surprise. Roland is recognized by the surveillance cameras and is arrested with the device by the security guards of the casino. Gretchen calls Self and talks to Michael.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
- We open with T-Bag tied to a chair in the middle of the apartment with a knife-weilding Gretchen pushing him for information. T-Bag initially puts up fight, but a few choice cuts on his arm and it's clear he's telling her anything she wants to know.
At the warehouse, the gang is going after its latest Scyllla card-holder, a gentleman in the agriculture business named Scuderi. We learn they very nearly got to him and the card before he unexpectedly chartered a plane to a certain city in southern Nevada. That's right: Vegas, baby!
The General gives Wyatt the go-ahead to kill Self, telling him to "make it look like an accident." T-Bag's secretary while he was posing as Supersalesman makes contact with Bellick, telling him over the phone that she will give him T-Bag's location in exchange for $2,000. The gang decides that Lincoln, Sarah, Sucre and Glenn will go to Vegas, while the rest will stay back and deal with T-Bag. (This is followed by Glenn yelling "Vegas, bitches!" apparently in an attempt to make the coolest city America less cool.)
Bellick calls Michael and Mahone, telling them the secretary is now asking for more money. When they arrive, a gun-wielding T-Bag pops out from behind a van and ties them all up. Michael, Bellick and the secretary are stuffed in the van, but Mahone manages to escape at the last minute. Back at the apartment T-Bag demands Michael write down everything he knows about the bird book and Scylla.
As we're shown Wyatt preparing some awesome-looking assassin supplies, Mahone contacts Self and tells him of Michael's predicament. We cut to the Vegas strip, where our foursome has arrived and Glenn has already drawn attention from casino security monitoring a surveillance camera.
By holding a gun to the secretary's head, T-Bag gets Michael to tell him he thinks the pages of the bird book form a blueprint. Gretchen is watching from around a corner and notices that Bellick is wearing a government-issue ankle bracelet. We're shown Mahone with a GPS device, apparently outside the apartment.
Back in Vegas, the gang is in hot pursuit of Scuderi who, thankfully for our script, is a high-stakes gambler. Lincoln picks this time to tell Sarah that Michael's recent nose bleeds concern him because their mother also suffered from nose bleeds and died of a brain aneurysm at age 31. And, he adds, Michael has just turned . . . 34. Ha-ha, of course I'm kidding. Lincoln tells Sarah that Michael has recently turned 31. (What are the chances?)
Mahone busts into the apartment and find everybody gone, with the ankle bracelets sitting on the table. He also finds that a page of the book which Michael has turned into an origami bird and cleverly hidden pretty much in the middle of the floor. T-Bag & Co. have moved to the secretary's apartment, where Michael begins to construct the blueprint and lies to T-Bag, telling him he's only interested in Scylla for the money.
Just as Wyatt is telling the General on the phone that Self's apartment is abandoned, Self arrives at the General's office. Back at Vegas, the gang misses a golden opportunity to download Scuderi's card when Glenn's data transmission device fails. T-Bag tells Gretchen Michael needs to go the GATE offices (where T-Bag had been working) to progress any further, and she shows him she has the nosy guy from the office gagged in bound in her trunk.
Lincoln and Sarah determine that since Glenn's device was designed to collect large amounts of data from devices like slot machines, they will not be able to use it in a casino. In an attempt to save his neck, Self tells the General he has sent incriminating documents to several lawyers and if he should happen to end up dead there will be tons of unwanted scrutiny on The Company.
Gretchen has the GATE busybody write out a resignation note and then chokes him to death in front of T-Bag, Michael and Bellick. T-Bag takes Michael to his GATE office where the two enters the closet. In Vegas, we find out Scuderi apparently likes dudes, and Sucre is tasked with using his masculine wilds to get close to the card-holder. After pulling up the carpet in the closet, Michael finds a hidden ladder in the floor.
Sucre's shirtless bait works perfectly and the two head up to Scuder's room where the card is being stored. After Michael and T-Bag proceed down the ladder, Mahone ends up meeting them in the lower level, helping Michael disarm T-Bag and stick him a locked room.
After several minutes of sexual innuendo, Sucre is finally able to download the Scylla card info. We then find out that Scuderi isn't gay, but rather lost his sexual function in the war and actually wants to pay Sucre $1,000 to have sex with his preposterously hot wife.
Just as the group is leaving the casino trouble-free, Glenn attempts to cheat the slots and has his device (which supposedly took months to make) taken from him by a someone from the gaming commission. Self arrives at GATE and tells Michael the secretary and Bellick are okay, and that he will keep T-Bag in custody until their mission is over.
Michael tells Self that the area under T-Bag's office leads to the Scylla decoding area under the General's office, and that if they are able to get the last card they will need about 24 hours to get there. As they plan a cover to acquire a full day of access to GATE, a cell phone planted nearby rings. It's Gretchen, who tells Self she is holding the rest of the bird book pages perhaps needed for more blueprints -- hostage if T-Bag isn't let go. The episode ends with Michael grabbing the cell and hearing Gretchens voice: "Hello, Michael."
