Not Everything Is Like It Seems

Warning: Spoilers
General Krantz tells Lincoln that the price of Michael's surgery is the safe return of Scylla. Lincoln tortures T-Bag to find the location where Self and Gretchen will deal with the buyer; after losing two teeth, T-Bag tells that the meeting will be in Arlington Pier at 3:00 PM. Lincoln and Sucre head to the place, but Rita calls Gretchen and tells that the Company abducted T-Bag. When they arrive, Self and Gretchen have already gone. Sara stays with Michael and she does not recognize the equipment and the procedure in the surgery room, but the doctor informs that it is a state-of-art technique. In a blink of eyes, Michael meets Charles in Fox River, and he asks for his forgiveness. Charles advises that things are not like they seem to be, and Michael tries to find the true meaning of his words and the word Bargain on the wall. Meanwhile Mahone asks to go to the bathroom and the reluctant Wheeler finally stops the car. Mahone steals a pipe and jumps from Wheeler's car after shattering the window. He is chased by Agent Lang and Wheeler, and Lang covers his escape in the end. The Company tracks Gretchen's call in her cellular, but when Lincoln and Sucre arrive, the buyer escapes with Scylla and they capture Self and Gretchen. Michael deciphers that Scylla is not a black book with the past of The Company, but a secret of power and The Company is actually protecting the future. Lincoln discovers that his mother also worked for The Company and splits with Michael in the name of the "family business".

"Prison Break" is literally going under in this Season. The shows are no longer engaging like they were in the past, and the plot has no where to go and not everything is like it seems anymore. The possibility of Lincoln working with Gretchen, Self and T-Bag is too much for me. My deception with this Fourth Season is increasing after each episode, and I hope the author Paul Scheuring does give the same fate of "Lost" to this series. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): Not Available

This episode features, once again, the never-ending cat-and-mouse game which involves the characters going after Scylla but never get their hands on it. Sucre And Linc, now working for the company, tracked Don and Gretchen before they could sell Scylla but the buyer himself screw them over and we are back to square one. Who now has Scylla? We never know but there's a hint that it's a woman who's calling the shot. Sucre departs to find his own path, I think that's the best decision he's made in a while. Scofield goes under surgery and meets Charles (a character we last saw in S1), in a dream sequence and help him discover the truth purpose of Scylla. The dialogue exchange was really good. Mahone predictably manages to escape police custody. I didn't think his escape was necessary as I think it's a good send off for the character but the writers have other things for him in mind I guess, can't wait to find out.

I have been binge-watching the series from the start and have to say this is one of my favourites in a while when Michael "meets" Westmoreland whom passed away several series before.

I am sure in the artistic world this "meet" has meaning but to me it is great entertainment and a rest from the norm.

The show has slid from its peak with top agents being killed with single shots while stars of the show carry on regardless unless they are being written out at the start or end of a season.
