Another good episode.. so looks like everybody is gonna end up in Panama by the end of the series.
Strange the way Mr Kim told Mahone that TBag was captured in Mexico yet he was in Panama? On top of that Mahone seemed to figure out the last tattoo fairly easily?

2 more episodes to go? And the last one is called Sona, so I guess we'll know what thats all about then.

TBag was captured in Mexico and was shipped to Panama as bait. Right before he picks up the tramp you see him passing by an agent with a gun in his waistband.

Picking up the tramp was brilliant as well, "So then, actually, no, you dont speak english."

What was the number about.

Was it a date? 17th June

The Panama lady said he was late.

Even if it was a date I doubt he foresaw all the twists and delays before he tattooed it to his arm!!!

Creamy Goodness

617 was the combination to the lock on the boat. it could also have something to do with the date as well as mahone figured out.

I thought that guy was the pimp? I was tired.

Could anybody explain why the hell Michael had to tattoo the name of his dead mother on his arm? Of all the "clues" used to help Mahone track him down, this has to be the dumbest! This even defies "Prison Break Logic"! It was pretty damn obvious it was going to be a boat too! This show's stupidity really can annoy me at times!

Thats what I thought too.. He was just letting tbag now he was there...

If thats the case, then it still doesnt explain how they said he was captured?

Quite enjoyed this one, even if it was just for the different flava of music we had this week - really jaunty versions of the normal score.

I did keep expecting C-Note to get a bullet in the head when he kept going on about how everything was okay to his family. Guess he forgot to tell them the part where they have to move from their homes, change identies and never see anyone they know and love again, huh? C-Note really takes care of his loved ones...

Liked Mahone being an utter lunatic and meeting his boss' boss again.

There were also some silly moments:
* Why didn't T-Bag put a "Busy" sign on his hotel room door when he left? That way the cleaning maid would not have entered so quickly and discovered the body. He's losing his cool!

* Did Michael actually managed to fit all his steps entirely into the Greek alphabet just so the last one could be the "Omega" step? Or was Mahone conjecturing? And given how often his plans went wrong, I'd hope some tatoos were something like "Gamma-II" with different contingencies.

* As above: Why the hell would Michael, a genius, need a tatoo to remember his Mum's name? Ridiculous! Maybe it'd have suited him better to have a heart with "Mum" in it. It'd actually have been more difficult for Mahoen to make that connection potentially.

I thought the same about the mother's name but he needed to put the 617 combination code on his tats. Now if he put it on a boat with popeye, well that would be just as stupid. It had to be on an image relating to his mother/boat.

Ah, the twist didn't annoy me that much. I guess it wasn't that obvious but "Christina Rose" just screamed "name of a boat" to me. If his mothers name was Bernie Margaret Schofield it mightn't of been as suitable on the side of a boat.

The tattoo of his Ma's name and the 617 code has to be the most absurd plotting device used throughout the shows run so far. How about remembering your dead mothers name Michael and getting the code or a key from the lady who told you where the boat would be. That wouldn't be too difficult for a genius now would it?

Didnt we see in the promo for this eppisode, the agents with guns about to arrest mahone?

yup, we sure did.

loved the moaning noise that t-bag made when he was choking 'suzi-q', it kinda went a bit like 'ahammannanananan....ahhhhh' but in a t-bag way

Why does Belick need Sucure by his side once he knew the whereabouts of TBag, it wouldn't be that hard for Belick to trace down the taxi rank. Is it just for the use of Sucure's spanish? Seems very un-Belick like to me that he would keep Sucure by his side like that.

Really powerful scene between Linc and Michael when they had that big barney. You could see how pissed off Michael was with Linc about how heartless he was over all the people who had suffered over their actions:
"Everything just rolls off you doesn't it?".
No way could T-Bag be caught as easily as that, he's way too clever.
Mahone was spose to be arrested in this ep, yes, dunno what happened there. I thought he was going to get rid of the guy in the car park for sure.
I am getting a bit tired of the clues on the tattoo at this stage, it was quite clever at the start but now it's being overused.
Yes, it is silly that Michael would have his own mother's name on the tattoo, but it was just an excuse for the writers to use it yet again I think.
Also:Mr. Kim's boss finally speaks!

Good ep, looks like C-Note is finally home and dry. I was wondering about T-Bag as well. He must have been captured because it would be too much of a coincidence for him to end up in Panama, even by Prison Break standards.

Interesting to see a bit of humanity in Mahone this week when he virtually congratulated agent Wheeler for reporting his mad behaviour and warning him to stay on the straight and narrow. Mahone will be dead by the end of the season: he may as well be walking around with a countdown timer over his head.

Wonder what will happen to Sarah now? It doesn't look like Mike and Linc will get back to the States in time to bust her out by the end of the season. Should be a good end-of-season cliffhanger as Mike, Linc, Bellick, Sucre, T-Bag and Mahone all go head-to-head in Panama for the five million bucks. Bring it on!

this episode, likes others have said, REALLY frustrated me in its stupidity. What happened to the genius Micheal from season 1? The ChristINa Rose tattoo was so absurd, and Mike getting all ethical at this stage in the game and going after TBag was the cherry on the cake? What does Mike hope to achieve anyway? Is he going to kill TBag... oh but that would go against his new "i'm all ethical" side.

I was expecting Mr. Kim to get a bullet in the head when he was in the boat, Lethal Weapon style! You should always check to see if you are standing on plastic.
