Lincoln proposes to crash the General's car to copy the last card using the trick he did in 2001, in Chicago, to rob a wallet. Michael tells Sara that Gretchen is alive and dealing with Agent Self a partnership together with T-Bag. Sara is disturbed with the new partner and recalls the torture she was submitted, whipped on her back. Roland sends an untraceable message to Wyatt asking how much he would pay for Michael and Lincoln. Mr. Feng visits T-Bag in his office in Gate, but Gretchen negotiates Scylla for US$ 125 million, offering US$ 25 million to T-Bag. Lincoln plans the accident with Sucre while Lincoln and Michael rob an ambulance in a federal yard. Gretchen gives a message to Self inviting Sara to meet her in a motel room. Sara is worried with Michael's health. Roland tells Wyatt where Michael and Lincoln are, and the killer shots Sucre. Michael presses Roland that denies being a rat. Self makes clear to Gretchen and T-Bag that they are scum. T-Bag plots with Trishanne against Gretchen. Gretechen proposes a cease-fire to Sara, and she asks about Michelle Taylor. Roland removes the GPS monitor and escapes to meet Wyatt, who shots his knees. Roland gives the address of the warehouse in Pier 31, San Pedro, but Michael, Lincoln, Bellick and Mahone arrive just in time and capture Wyatt. The general concludes that the attempt was against his card and orders to move Scylla.

The partnership of Michael's team with the cold sociopath Gretchen and the despicable T-Bag certainly will never work. In this episode, Sara discloses the reasons for her emotional disturbance with the recollection of her period of captivity and torture with Gretchen. Roland deserves his fate, and finally Mahone has captured Wyatt. My vote is nine.

Title (Brazil): Not Available

It's been awhile since I could've enjoyed a single episode of the show (the last one was 3x13), but this one finally was good, not perfect but really really good. Some dialogues and scenes were quite unnecessary, the whole storyline with Roland as traitor seemed a bit repetitive and predictable, but I don't really wanna focus on the bad stuff and so happy to be able to point out the good ones.

And the best thing was the characters and their development. They've been written amazingly.

Michael. It was great to see his human side once again. Despite the fact that Roland betrayed them, Michael stayed with the guy at his last moment and looked sincerely upset. The writers also showed pretty good what we've already knew about Scofield - absolute absence of sense of self-worth. He doesn't care that he has tumor and (I presume) will have more serious symptoms pretty soon, that he can eventually die from. He doesn't care and gets irritated when his loved ones do. Well done, writers, well done.

Alex. The way he started attacking Wyatt and couldn't stop truly got me. So much hate, so much anger, the desire to finally make this killer of his child pay. Bravo, William Fichtner, it was an outstanding acting! He and Robert Knepper are no doubt the best actors of PB that make even bad episodes better.

T-Bag. I'm not a big fan of this character this season, but in this episode he really worked for me. Trusting only himself and siding with both Gretchen and that secretary lady in order to double cross them all and get the best he can in the situation without risking his life that much was really cool to watch. Props to the writers for that.

Grethen. She was such a boring and unintresting character in season 3, but here, since the moment she started to do things only for herself (and I have no doubt she'll betray them all just to get the best benefit), she became so good as a character. I really love this psychopath, and her twisted way of thinking and settling things up with Sara in this episode was marvelous.

Sara. I'm glad the viewers finally got a chance to know how she escaped. I still don't think it was a good idea to ressurect her, but at least she was stunning in The Price. I truly enjoyed every side we've seen of her. She's a decent doctor which knows the job and always gets it done, no matter how traumatized she is. Definitely deserves respect and admiration. And it was a truly interesting and fitting the character idea to make death of that woman Sara's greatest motivation in her relationships with Gretchen. The guilt mixed with hate, I definitely like it, as much as I liked the writing for Sara to portray her as extremely strong and at the same time broken person.

Linc. I'm glad they decided to give him an opportunity to be the one suggesting the plan, risky but not a bad one. This character keeps growing on me more and more.

Not gonna say much about others as I've already written enough, just add that every character in this episode are in their places, that's a big relief for me.

I also liked the narrative. Not that we've learned something we hadn't already known by that moment, but at least story progressed. Now, since General is aware of the plan, things are gonna get much more intense. I'm finally intruiged at least a little, and this really makes me a bit happy as a viewer. Furthermore, I can't wait for the moment Alex gets his revenge, it's about time.

Roland being killed is also a bonus. He was kinda annoying. He could've been useful, though, and now things might get a bit harder for the rest of the team, but they'll figure something out, not that they have a choice anyway.

Overall, it was a decent episode, the best out of first 8 ones. I really missed this show being good. Not that it got that good, but at least it's better than it was in the beginning of s4, when I found it hard to watch a single episode.
