I'm leading a hunt for 8 escaped prisoners that's gaining national attention and yep, I'm gonna go to my ex-wife's house in broad daylight and dig up that body I buried a few years ago. Yep, that's what I'm gonna do. Uh huh.
Damn convenient she lives nearby, too. Damn I can pick 'em, huh?
If they can't even give a coherent storyline, can't they be more consistent about providing eye candy every episode?

What was the deal with the nitro glycerin? If I understand it correctly, we're supposed to believe the Scofield hid it in Utah before heading to Prison? As if he already knew the he'd be going to Utah after breaking out? Or did I completely miss something?

Yep, that's what I'm gonna do. Uh huh.I thought it's been pretty well established that this guy is not completely sane anymore, takes a medication of some sort for his mind, and is under 18 tons of stress. I'll buy it; the show's done worse.
This show is losing it for me, really. The storyline is just going down hill. But, I keep watching. I like all the characters and their development, it's just the overall story. I keep thinking to myself that this show probably would have been a lot better as a miniseries. But then Fox couldn't rake in as much viewers that way.

Wentworth Miller is consistently in every episode, so they are doing a good job on that count imho. :up:

Come on people! This is better than any sitcom!
My favorite scene was when Lincoln and his son just watched the cashier walking slowly back to the store, with Linc quietly pleading for her to keep walking, when he should have just spun out of there the second she pulled her hand out of the window. And how bout that father-son sex talk? :D

That's a mixed bag... he's mutilated his body with a huge tattoo so even when he needs some info from a place other than an arm, it's not all that wonderful an eye candy moment. ;)

They went to the Jack Bauer school of hard knocks. They never sleep or use the bathroom either.
I've started rooting for them to all get caught.
Then they can be taken to a new prison with FBI Agent Mahone as the ineffective warden and we can have a new "Scofields's Heroes" to watch.

Yes, you completely missed something.
Scofield knew before going to prison that "DB Cooper" was there. DB Cooper disappeard with the money in Utah. So going to Utah to get the money after getting out was part of the plan from the beginning.

Pretty sure this is the case. The ex-wife mentioned to Michael at one point that she walked into the house one day and Mahone kicked her out. I think he still lives there (which would make sense so that he can still "watch over" the body) and the ex-wife has moved to a location that is conveniently close to where Michael happened to be when he decided to try to turn the tables on Mahone. :rolleyes:

first off thanks to my 3.1 machine, I full enjoyed no dropouts :)
I freely admit to not watching every second of ever show so have some questions:
Where is mahone's permanent office? I see his name on the door so it's not just some field place they are holed up in.
How did mike get back to (wherever mahone's wife is) from utah? It's plain that linc/son are headed south and mike has to get back to NM to meet in that hotel, so i'm a bit confused where mike is now.
how can a prison CO not at least do a strip search of the tbag to gain clues? They do that in prison, why not now?
And someone said the nitro was in utah. what would his intended purpose be if he had retreived it there? Assume it must be to get across the border somehow. But utah is kinda out of the way from mexico

Mahone lives in Oak Park, IL according to his info Michael found on the web -- that's where the body is.
Ex-Wife lives in Colorado, near Utah where Michael is. No time travel (well, maybe a little :) involved.

What prison CO was there in this episode? Both Bellick and the other guy are FORMER C.O's. They have both lost their jobs. I know what you are saying, though, if they searched him they would find the key.

Bellick and the other guy only zip tie T-bags hands? The guy is a violent predator. Then not to search him for the key.
Linc needs to work on his disguises...
Sara figured out the clues, but, not the fact that the dead chicks accounts are flagged?
Guess she isn't going to her Dad's funeral?
Michael got under Mahone's skin with that call:)

So only when the waitress girl recognizes Linc do they realize they need to ditch the car? The car belonged to the lady who's garage they dug up right? I would have figured it would have been reported stolen and they would have tried to get rid of it long before they did. Linc mentioned there weren't a lot of cars to jack in the desert, but why not grab one when they were in the town where he got LJ? Not like that car wasn't conspicuous.
Another thing that gets me is that they seem to be recognized only when it suits the plot. I know, I know, it's a tv show, but it would be more believable to me if you saw them constantly trying to hide themselves, but Linc seems to spend half his time with his mug "out there for everyone to see", and T-Bag is flirting with the florist with not so much as a pair of sunglasses on, Michael and Sucre are buying cars in bulk from a used car lot... yet when they decide they need to get LJ and Linc caught, everyone they see suddenly recognizes them.

I think he was at his own house. I think the wife moved out.
Earlier in the season he was standing by where he buried the body when some FBI buddies picked him up for work. I don't think he was at his wife's house then.

You definitely missed what was going on. Michael almost got caught in Blanding, Utah, trying to recover the nitro capsules that he had stashed there. He barely got away and then saw the press conference on TV where he realized that Mahone had a lot more information on him than he realized. There was also a quote in there about knowing your enemy. Michael then went to the library in Moab, Utah and looked up info on Mahone and found out about Oscar Shales and found out that his ex-wife lives in Durango, CO. Sure, it's convenient, but Durango is only an hour or so from Moab.
The digging of the body occurred back at Mahone's house in Chicago, where he lived with his wife before he kicked her out.
I actually thought this episode was one of the better ones recently, because there appeared to be an actual point to what everyone was doing and it appears we're going to get some major plot development very soon.
One thing that did bother me though was the fact that Michael wasn't recognized by the ex-wife. If you used to be married to an FBI agent, and suddenly he's been all over the national news in the past few days chasing a bunch of escaped convicts, don't you think you'd be at least a little familiar with the pictures of all those convicts?

That ran through my mind, too. Maybe the ex-wife is so sick of agent Mahone that she avoids any news involving him........

Linc *really* needs to work on his disguises. Feel free to mix in a wig or a hat sometime, dude. Those over-sized aviators don't really hide the shaved head very well. And agreed, they needed to ditch that car some time ago.
As for Michael's rather circuitous route, he went from Utah to Colorado, and them presumably on to New Mexico before crossing the border. As map of the US would show you, Utah, Colorado, NM, and Arizona (where Linc and RJ were) are the "four corner" states, so it's certainly doable. And, now that I check Google maps, Durango, CO (where the ex-wife is) is in the SW corner of Colorado, close to both Utah and NM. As the Church Lady would say "Well, isn't that conveeeeenient". :) Tooele, UT is in the northern part of Utah, but SR191 would take him almost directly to Durango in about 6 hours (assuming he keeps to a rather pedestrian, not-attention-getting speed of 65 or so).

And don't forget that at the beginning of this episode Michael was in Blanding, UT and then in Moab, UT. Those are both in the southeastern portion of UT very close to the CO border and Durango. Since C-Note had had enough time to get all the way back to Chicago, and T-Bag had made it to Kansas, I don't think it's at all far fetched to think that Michael could have made it from Northern Utah to Southern UT between episodes.
What happened to Sucre? I guess he and Michael each bought cars at then end of last episode and split up, but shouldn't we have at least seen a scene of him driving?

Yeah - I got distracted while posting earlier, so your earlier response was posted while I had my reply box open, and I missed it. Good point about Blanding/Moab - that makes what Michael did even more plausible.
As for Sucre - I had forgotten how we left off the previous week's episode (so I was really confused at the start of this week's when Michael was just in the middle of somewhere new), but I imagine we'll see more of him next week. IIRC, since Marisol (or whatever her name is) broke off her wedding he was going to go after her again. Sucker. :) If he has to get all the way back to NYC then I can see why he didn't appear this week. That's a pretty long drive.

i didnt get what the nitro capsules was for?
Hmmm....
A url that provides the home addresses of FBI agents
A fugitive is able to forge FBI credentials - and they were good enough to get him in the house of an agent's ex-wife
And that ex-wife, who is VERY hip to Agency procedure and protocol, accepts the credentials even though the badge is missing
I know this show has never professed to be much more than a comic book, but they really are taking some pretty huge liberties, don't y'all think?

Mahoney's ex-wife: I didn't think twice about it, but he bought a ton of fertilizer and lye and was all secretive about it. Oh, and he also brought home a barrel of acid that he kept in the shed and told me to never go in there. One night I heard some horrible hacking noises, and the next morning, when I saw him washing red paint off the axe in the sink, he told me not to say a word. I think he had been doing some painting or something, because there was a lot of paint splattered on his clothes. When I offered to do a wash, he said not to bother and that he was going to burn them in the furnace downstairs. He was acting very strange and paranoid, but I just figured that it was gas from the mexican dinner we had had the night before. It was around this time that he stopped blinking entirely. Oh, did I mention that I also used to work for the FBI?

Well, to be fair, Linc was accused of killing the (at the time) VP's brother. His picture would have been ALL over the news. He would be, by FAR, the most recognized of the escapees.
If Schofield calls the cops with an anoymous tip RIGHT NOW (expecting that the FBI-ie would be digging up his yard.) and that would cripple the search for a while.

It worked for Don Johnson, paaaaaaallllll.

and it took Michael about a sentence to change the ex-wife's attitude toward him when he first knocked. I thought she was going to give him a lap dance before the end of the interview...
and fwiw, I thought she was pretty hot, considering she was supposed to be about 35-40.

That goes along with my point, though. Linc has not been what I would call "on the down low" either. As DreadPirateRob mentioned above, he's been walking around in broad daylight with just a pair of sunglasses to disguise his bald head (which by the way, the design of those sunglasses would make me look at someone EVEN MORE, not ignore them), and admittedly he has been recognized on a couple of occasions (along with the others), but now all of a sudden when it fits the story, he gets recognized by seemingly every single person who's path he crosses.

I don't think that has been revealed yet. Linc mentioned to LJ that Michael's plan was very dangerous, but that's about all we have at this point.
I know you can't make up stuff on the fly, but I would think Michael would be looking to change his plan anyway now, since he knows Mahone has information about his original plan. As a matter of fact, I would have started changing things back when Mahone showed up right behind them at the cemetery. It was obvious at that point that Mahone was pretty smart... so why not change things up a little bit, on the off chance they have some information on what you're planning?

Why didn't Michael call the cops to dig up Mahone's house? Or suggest to Mahone's ex-wife the coincidental timing between Mahone's "gardening" and the disappearance of Shales? Tying Mahone up in an investigation, even only a few days, is valuable time.

Because he was attempting to use the information he had on Mahone to improve his own position. We know it's not going to work, because Mahone has to answer to "The Company" and because he thinks he knows where Michael will be on June 3rd. However, from Michael's perspective, it's definitely worth a try, and at this point he clearly still thinks it might work.
If he has Mahone arrested and therefore pulled off the case, someone else will simply take his place, someone who may be better at tracking Michael and who may not have a weakness. However, if Mahone stays on the case but conveniently lets Michael slip through his grasp, it just goes as an unsolved case and Michael and co. get away.

I don't believe it. Why would they say they were in Willcox if they weren't??? ;)
I just watched this episode. This show is losing it... there aren't enough nailbiting moments anymore, IMO, and for a show that falls apart on closer scrutiny, that gives me too much time to get annoyed by the plot holes. :)
But I second whoever wrote that it was nice to see T-Bag get beat up some. I really hope he gets thrown back in jail soon...
