Change of Plans

Michael concludes that they are behind schedule and they have twenty-four hours to dig a tunnel. However, when it begins to rain, he tells that they must change the plans and break-out during the night since the tunnel will collapse. McGrady asks Michael to go with him, but he is in doubt whether he should escape with criminals like Lechero, T-Bag, Bellick and the mysterious Whistler. Michael believes he is paying for his sins in Sona. Later he confesses that he is tired of causes and consequences and invites McGrady to join the break-out team. Gretchen delivers the bomb planted in her car to Sucre. Sofia is kidnapped by Gretchen's men and she tortures her to get the coordinates from Whistler. Bellick tries to plot a betrayal with Mahone, but he refuses. Michael calls the costumer service of the emergency generator's manufacturer and discovers that they have just thirty seconds lag to reach the fence in the darkness. T-Bag overhears the conversation between Michael and Whistler when he tells that surviving is not giving-up. Sucre sabotages the jeeps but he is detained since there are issues in the records of Jorge Rivera. Whistler gives only half coordinates for the safety of Sofia, LJ, Michael and Lincoln. Lincoln hijacks a bus and crashes it against Sona's transformer initiating the blackout. Lechero, T-Bag and Bellick betray the rest of fugitives telling that they will be the first to leave.

This engaging episode is one of the best of the Third Season, with many twists. Ballick and T-Bag are indeed despicable scumbags (I believe this is a pleonasm) and among the worse villains of cinema history. Michael is having another crisis of conscience since many innocent people has died since the beginning of his plan. My vote is nine.
