Hello everyone and welcome the penultimate Prison Break catch up post and I can’t believe that there is only one episode left. It seems to have gone so quickly! It will feel weird not having any more of this show to watch. We were left on a classically shocking cliffhanger as a missile was launched at the cargo ship the gang were hiding on… I know, I know, but at this point I’m just willing to accept it. They all managed to escape but what about the rest of the crew? Did the army (or whoever it was) take them with them? Or were they just left there to die?

A part of the story that was very clever in mis-leading viewers was the idea planted earlier in the episode where Mike (not Mike Jr, never Mike Jr) was hiding a map within a picture for his friend. When it happened I thought it was cool and a great little nod to how he really was like his father, but even I had to question the strained logic (as did Lincoln) about how he left another map in another picture of where he was being for his dad to follow. But no! It was all a ruse as Jacob made it himself and made it look like the kid did it, allowing Michael’s indulgence in his son’s likeness to him to cost him.

Progeny was definitely the running theme of this episode as alongside Michael and Mike’s relationship, two characters were revealed to be sons of established Prison Break characters. The first was the gangster who Lincoln owed money to: he was in fact the son of former crime lord and season 1 Fox River escapee John Abrusi. Now he was sadly killed off before I started up my blog and began my reviews, but for those who I watched with, they knew how I adored that man. I just loved his character and couldn’t believe it when he died. I almost stopped watching! It was a great nod to him and it was nice to see the show not forget the characters that really kick started the show in the first season.

The second reveal definitely surprised me and even now leaves me slightly confused on exactly how I feel about it. Whip is T-Bag’s son!?!? Huh!? They did give some explanation and back story about why Michael chose him and how he reminded him of the few good traits T-Bag actually had. It is still really weird though. And I still don’t get how T-Bag got the picture, did Michael send it himself? Did he pay for the hand too? At least it seemed like this was a son that T-Bag conceived willingly and he just never found the woman again. Better that than Whip being the product of something that he ended up in prison for. That would have made things very awkward.

One episode left. What’s going to happen? Not a bloody clue. But I can’t wait to find out.
