Episode Recap: "Bang and Burn"

OK, color me a little bit confused. When I asked Jodi Lyn O'Keefe about the "fall finale" — which at the time was to air in mid-December, a few episodes from now — she mentioned the helicopter stunts. Then, thanks to the strike and Fox's rejiggered schedule, this week's episode was dubbed the "fall finale." And yet there the helicopters are...? This is something for me to figure out, but I had to share my puzzlement. [Editor's note: I have since been told that Jodi was mistaken when recounting the episode.] On with the recap!

I feel like so much has happened in the past three hours, after some middling, poky episodes. All of a sudden, Gretchen and the Company have some quasimilitary force at their disposal? Complete with a steely bunker for strategic plotting and unrolling maps?

I liked the sequence where Michael labored to get word to Lincoln at the same time Lincoln was trying to get word to Michael about Whistler's secret agenda. Good tension. Imagine if swaggering Sammy didn't bother to tell Lechero who was on the phone.

All of a sudden there's a tunnel beneath decrepit Sona, accessible by state-of-the-art keypads, both of which Lechero knows the code for? He never thought to round up his squad of goons to dig through the rubble? Or is the point that even if they did get outside, they didn't have a compromised section of fence to race for?

Lincoln and Sucre recording the gunshots — is that for something later? Or is that another clue that this episode was some sort of mishmash of "Bang and Burn" and the actual "fall finale"? I know, I'm getting caught up in that again. Sorry.

I sense that Dominic Purcell's want for Linc to get hot and heavy with Sofia may be a step closer to fruition now that Whistler's lady feels all betrayed and such by "Gary Miller." What does this guy know, what is he capable of doing, with the stakes so high for "the General" and his Company to bust him out? Seeing as how it almost worked (and that it would have were Michael not locked up in Sona), why wasn't "bang and burn" Plan A from the get-go?

Then there is Mahone. I can't tell if he was able to save his bacon as he eventually reached some sort of lucidity at the end there. Did Lang see him coming around, or did she toss the drugs as a form of giving up on him? Again, I can't tell.

This was the last new episode for a while, gang, until Jan. 14. Good cliff-hanger.

Prison Break: Good Fences

So we found out what was in the box, and yep, kids -- someone had been watching too many Brad Pitt movies and pulled a "Se7en."
Guess it's official: Sarah Wayne Callies will not be returning to "Prison Break." Hell, she couldn't even come by for 20 minutes so they could make a model of her head. Could it have been any more fake? According to TV Guide's Michael Ausiello, it apparently wasn't all due to the former actress-previously-known-as-Sara-Tancredi's new baby.
The real shame is not killing off a major character. Hell, that keeps things spicey. I mean, c'mon -- we're in season three here... but c'mon, Linc. How could you not tell Michael? Maybe you could have baked him a cake and wrote something on it. After all, Sona residents can receive mail.
Scofield is still sweaty. It could be the shirt or the fact that he has a prison break to plan and Whistler keeps hounding him about his stupid bird book.Meanwhile, all is not well in the land of Lechero. There's a blackout. Thankfully, Schofield is an engineer -- and the one that caused it. Would any engineer know how to dig and fix the electricity? I'm no rocket scientist, but apparently Schofield is.
Speaking of not well, Mahone is looking like his same freakish self -- but this week, he's having of hallucinations of Haywire (!). Apparently whatever killed Haywire actually did make him stronger, at least in Mahone's mind. Thankfully T-Bag's new afterschool job as drug dealer is helping turn Mahone back into his same self-confident, psychotic self. How he and Michael will team up and get out of there is beyond me. Maybe Michael will throw Mahone to the now-electrified fences.
Aside from Haywire, we had another great return: Sucre is back from the land of totally-annoying. Thank goodness; I was starting to wish him serious ill will. After finding out about Sara's head, he decided to pull his out of his ass and start helping Linc. He's already got himself a grave-digging gig and has begun the fence hole for the great escape, part two. Welcome back, brother!
A few other thoughts...
• Will Lechero and Basketball Jones be in on the escape? If not, don't waste my time with their characters.
• Who pays Lechero's cell phone bill -- and how does it get paid?
• Michael couldn't take his shirt off, even to dig??
• I think Whistler was fake digging. The guy didn't break a sweat!
• Speaking of Whistler, how is this guy involved with the Company? It can't be as simple as he says.
• Is T-Bag's good arm bionic? I want to see that guy wrestle the one-armed man from "The Fugitive."
• Poor Bellick. That's all I can say about that.
So what will be Schofield's motivation now? Rescue his nephew? Get back at the people who took his love? Get more tattoos? Stay tuned. -- Rachel Cericola

Dr. Sara Tancredi on “Prison Break”

Dr. Sara Tancredi (Sarah Wayne Callies) was decapitated and her head stuffed in a box. So what really happened? TVGuide interviewed Prison Break executive producer Matt Olmstead:
TVG: What was your understanding as to why she didn’t want to come back? It seems strange that she refused to return in any capacity. Doesn’t it seem strange to you?MO: It looked like a pretty good deal on the face of it. We definitely came up in money. Thirteen episodes would have allowed the character to have a proper exit. We were willing to push the start date back [to accommodate her maternity leave], which would have meant her coming in [around] Episode 10, but that wasn’t accepted. So then we offered to come up [to Canada] before she gave birth and film at her house. Pretty good money and she wouldn’t even have to leave her house. That wasn’t accepted. So it was a little curious to me and to others why she was taking such a hard stance. [Maybe] she felt that she was made certain assurances about being part of the show this season. And in fairness to her, those assurances were given, because she was such a valuable member of the show…. Also, she’s up [in Canada]. She’s comfortable. She’s starting a family. Maybe she didn’t want to have to fly down and have to do this stuff. Or maybe she felt like she wanted to be part of the show [full time], not just half the season. Perhaps she felt a little jilted. Our [original] plan was to definitely keep her for [all of] Season 3, but after a couple of times of getting it kicked back from the network, we had to come up with a new idea and that necessitated her character being killed.
Sarah Wayne Callies response via her spokesperson:
“As hard as we all tried, the Prison Break powers that be and I were unable to find a way to meet both the needs of the story and the needs of my family. We parted wishing each other well. I had a wonderful time working with the creative team and have a world of respect for all of them; they took great care of Dr. Sara. I’m also enormously grateful to the fans. They’ve been so gracious and supportive, and I hope they continue to enjoy the show.”
So any of you “Prison Break” fans think you have the answer?
Why did Sarah leave the show?
Does anybody care?
But more importantly, Is Wentworth Miller Gay?

TATTOO

Michael had specific sections of the prison tattooed onto his upper body. His chest features an image of a demon slaying an angel and contains blueprints of the prison's underground tunnels and passageways. His back has the angel killing the demon and hides an overhead view of the layout of the prison. His left arm has images of the demons, and the right has images of angels, as well as numerous clues and reminders.

Prison Break Season 3 Preview

PRISON BREAK

A "breakout" success in its premiere season, garnering Golden Globe nominations for Best Television Series-Drama and Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series-Drama (Wentworth Miller), as well as winning the People's Choice Award for Favorite New TV Drama, PRISON BREAK returns for its exciting second season where the escaped convicts learn that breaking out of prison was the easy part.

Convinced that his wayward brother LINCOLN BURROWS (Dominic Purcell) was wrongly convicted of the sensational murder of the Vice President's brother, which landed him on death row, a desperate MICHAEL SCOFIELD (Wentworth Miller) staged a daring bank robbery in order to get himself incarcerated with Lincoln. Michael, an engineer with access to the prison's structural design, masterminded an elaborate plan to free Lincoln by pulling off the ultimate PRISON BREAK.

Aided by an intricate tattoo of the prison's blueprints covering his upper body, Michael aligned himself with his lovelorn cellmate FERNANDO SUCRE (Amaury Nolasco), former mob boss JOHN ABRUZZI (Peter Stormare), homicidal pedophile THEODORE "T-BAG" BAGWELL (Robert Knepper), the well-connected BENJAMIN "C-NOTE" FRANKLIN (Rockmond Dunbar) and old-timer CHARLES WESTMORELAND (Muse Watson), a man Michael believed to be the infamous skyjacker D.B. Cooper.

On the outside, Michael's only ally was his defense attorney and Lincoln's former girlfriend VERONICA DONOVAN (Robin Tunney), who protected Lincoln's targeted teenage son LJ (Marshall Allman). Veronica's quest for the truth led straight to the White House, to power-hungry Vice President CAROLINE REYNOLDS (Patricia Wettig), who assumed the mantle of the Presidency in a deadly coup - and whose brother, in secret, is very much alive.

Overcoming many setbacks, Michael, Lincoln and six other inmates, including pickpocket TWEENER (Lane Garrison) and the mentally unstable HAYWIRE (Silas Weir Mitchell), ultimately escaped from Fox River. The prison break had its consequences, however. Michael was forced to betray his father figure, Warden HENRY POPE (Stacy Keach); prison doctor SARA TANCREDI (Sarah Wayne Callies), who was instrumental in the escape plan and had romantic feelings for Michael, relapsed with drugs and overdosed; LJ was arrested for murder; and Westmoreland died of injuries sustained in the escape, but not before revealing that he was indeed D.B. Cooper - and providing a clue to where he had hidden over $5 million in cash.

Outside the prison walls, the escape truly begins as the convicts race for their lives - and the hidden cash - while trying to avoid capture by the authorities.

The pursuers are led by FBI agent ALEXANDER MAHONE (William Fichtner), who is haunted by his own demons; vengeful prison guard Captain BRAD BELLICK (Wade Williams), who, driven by his own personal vendetta, will also stop at nothing until the escapees are captured or killed; and Secret Service Agent PAUL KELLERMAN (Paul Adelstein), who, under President Reynolds' orders, will do anything to keep the truth about the conspiracy very much a secret.

PRISON BREAK is an Adelstein-Parouse Production in association with 20th Century Fox Television. Paul T. Scheuring, Matt Olmstead, Kevin Hooks, Marty Adelstein, Dawn Parouse, Neal Moritz and Brett Ratner ("X-Men: The Last Stand") are executive producers. Zack Estrin is co-executive producer.
