TV Guide Review
Because of the then-impending writers’ strike, the show’s producers planned last fall to craft the 13th episode as a viable winter finale, with cliff-hangers, storylines that veer in new directions, the departure of at least one character and an open road for others. Says Dominic Purcell, who plays Michael’s brother, Lincoln, “There’s a resolution to certain characters, and [the episode] propels others into a longer journey.”


One such journey reaches a climax when Susan takes on a worthy adversary: Michael.
“When she comes face to face with him, she deals with Michael differently than she deals with everyone else,” O’Keefe says. “I think people are going to be very shocked by her relationship with Michael. She’s not really had to deal with anybody where she hasn’t gotten away with everything, but he’s on her level.” And Susan gets more than a little testy when things don’t go her way.
“Michael is her equal — or more so,” Purcell agrees. “Lincoln’s the volatile, instinctual, explosive guy, whereas Michael is much more inclined to use intellect to get what he wants. Susan has to play different cards with the brothers.”
While some plotlines get tied up, O’Keefe assures fans that Prison Break still has new roads to explore. “I know what Susan’s relationship with Whistler is. Let’s just say they go way back,” she teases.
Of course, that assumes Susan survives the episode. And on Prison Break, time has a way of running out.
