I so did not think that we would ever get to a place where Lincoln and Mahone ended up on decent terms. But, I guess Lincoln, like me, sort of realized that the Company was fucking with Mahone just as much as the rest of them. Plus, when you're fighting so hard to keep your son alive, watching someone lose theirs to the hands of these assholes must be devastating.
So, when the FBI finds out that there are actually 5 more cards they need to find, they decide they are in over their heads and want to immediately shut down the project. Self tries to go to bat for the mission, but he's rebuffed. He gives the guys 24 hours to find the next card. However, his boss tries to shut him down again, so he tries to go over his head, but it still doesn't work out.
Meanwhile, the gang doesn't know any of this and are focused on trying to find the card. We decipher that there is a meeting happening about Scylla, so we plan to crash it and see if we can figure out who has the cards. Unfortunately, while, trying to get the emails that contain this info, Michael and the hacker get trapped in a server room and are running out of oxygen. Thankfully, Lincoln shows up like a bad ass, grabs an ax off a fire trunk and breaks them out.
Sucre and Bellick (who is insistent that Sucre run off to Mexico with him, he's so fucking annoying) are busying watching someone (I cannot remember who), when they realize the plug has been pulled. They try to escape but are surrounded. Sucre does managed to fire off a text to Michael that just says, 'RUN.'
Back at the warehouse, the rest of the gang loads themselves into the car, just as the FBI shows up. They try to ditch the tail and get to the meeting place, but eventually, they need to go on foot. Everyone expects Michael is caught (with Sara yet again, giving herself up, so Michael can get away).
Everyone gets handcuffed and tossed into a car. They are all told they are going back to jail. But, for whatever reason, they decide to let Sara go. Michael, got away long enough to video the meeting and finds all the members of Scylla together. That's enough to make the FBI allow them to continue their work for the time being.
Elsewhere, T Bag is using Whistler's stolen ID to live the high life (yet a-fucking-gain). He's got a nice place to live, booze, porn, and a bonus he's waiting on. I'm really, really hoping that when he goes to meet with the guy from GATE next episode, he ends up dead. There's something a little bit shady about that guy, right?
