Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Prison Break catchup with 5×3, the prisoner’s dilemma. I felt that things really picked up this episode and I found myself out of my seat on more than one occasion. Let’s start with the first of two big shocks…they only went and killed Paul Kellerman off! I did not see that coming. I didn’t think he was Posiden but at least he confirmed that before being shot. I liked how he considered his killer to be similar to himself; a government worker who didn’t ask too many questions and did terrible things as a result. When a show comes back like this and a character gets killed off who was in the original, I always wonder how it is pitched. Just when you think your character gets a happy ending…bam your dead!

The second shock came when T-Bag of all people saw who the two trigger happy goons were seemingly working for. It turned out to be none other than Sarah’s husband (who they had previously shot)! Is he Posiden? He is definitely dodgy, so does this mean that he married Sarah purposely? It can’t just be a coincidence but it is all very strange. I just wish T-Bag would be more careful when following people. I’ve feared for this man’s life for way too long for him to die now. Will he tell Sarah though? And if he does will she believe him? It will annoy me if she doesn’t because why on earth would he make that up. I just want to find out why on earth T-Bag was bought a robot hand. There better not be a bomb in it!

Meanwhile in prison, Michael’s second escape attempt was much more successful than his first. It was obvious that the extremist leader was going to screw them over but it didn’t make it any less annoying when it happened. I even wanted Michael to let him out as he promised him he would. I hoped he would turn on him later but just keep his initial promise. He had to have a steady hand though: it would have drove me mad trying to unhook those hinges with a spoon on a stick. It is irritating me just thinking about it.

Luckily Lincoln saved the day by being a total action hero bad ass. The question of how we ended up in this situation did cross my mind, but seeing him on top of that car aiming a giant gun just really made me smile. Their reunion was emotional and Michael has a lot of explaining to do…and he better do it on-screen to. I wonder if the his American cell mate (whose name escapes me) will stick around? The others will probably go home, but then again they all need to get out of the country first. They should rename it Yemen Break. We seem to be moving into the second act of the season now and as always with this show, I can’t wait to see what happens next.
