Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Prison Break catchup with 5×6 Phaecia (we’re getting close to the end now!). Having escaped the prison and killed the terrorist leader, the group were now on the run from his angry followers and they were out for blood. The one eyed dude in particular was out for blood and this episode made me hate him even more. Surely this is the last we see of him and if so, he had one of the most fitting deaths of all time. The guy only had one eye to start with and I actually cheered when the screwdriver got jammed into the other. That didn’t seem to kill him straight away, but combine that with being stranded in the desert and you have to think he’s going to die. It was a shame that we lost Omar in episode six too. He was a bit of a wild card so he raised the tension of any scene he was in as you never knew who’s side he was on…well, he was on his own side mostly.

We also had the random smuggling of fireworks to entertain kids in the desert. A bit random but it did lead to them using them as a homing beacon for Michael to follow. Convenient? Yes, but also clever and it didn’t mean that Michael was out of the woods (or the desert should we say) just yet. I’m sure he’ll survive but I’m not sure how unless some random person reveals them-self to have some medical knowledge to help him. We also saw Michael send out a mysterious message this episode and I tried very hard to recognise the voice. It turns out to be no one we knew (I was hoping for Mahone) and was instead an Elvis impersonator. Surely there is some hidden link we don’t know about? Hopefully that dude can keep his mouth shut though as Poseiden’s goons had already found him.

The next episode gave us the reunion that fans watching when it first came out would have been waiting years for. That’s right, we finally saw Michael and Sucre back together after all this time apart.

No, in all seriousness it was very touching to see Sarah and Michael back on screen together and him reveal that he still loves her (and it is clear that of course she still loves him). She found them pretty fast but I’m willing to let that slide as it was a very nice moment we had waited the entire season for with them re-bonding over there son.

But with all these reunions we did still have to say goodbye to a character. Ja, who until this episode I just knew as the guy who loved Queen and may or may not have had Freddie Mercury’s ashes, decided to stay in the desert. It was as happy an ending as you can hope for for a character on this show so I was pleased for him. I’m just glad he didn’t die and there is always a chance for him to return down the line. At least he is more likely to stay clean from drugs and booze out there.

I KNEW Sarah’s husband was dodgy, but for some reason started to doubt myself after his previous explanation being seemingly accepted. But he didn’t just work for Poseiden, he was Posieden! It wasn’t the biggest twist in the world, but it wasn’t completely obvious that he was going to be the big bad. He does seem to genuinely love Sarah and Mike so I don’t think that they are in danger unless Sarah pushes him to it. I was surprised that her friend who had Mike made it out of the episode alive: this show is not kind to that level of characters.

A pair of great episodes and there are only two left! Oh hell I’m pumped!
