Prison Break 4X15: Going Under
🕑 Added 2025-08-14 22:52:57 +0000 UTCOMG. This is wild. Up until this episode, this had been my favorite season. Now, with the whole, 'Scylla is not what we thought it was' plot point, I'm not so sure. I don't know how I feel about this. Is creating the ultimate solar energy something that they would kill hundreds of people over? I'm not sure I buy this direction.
So Michael heads into this super weird, experimental surgery. While they are operating on him, he's having these visions of being back in Fox River. He's looking at his 'murder board' and having flashbacks and figures out that Scylla is not actually the Company's little black book. It's information about how they can harness the sun's complete energy. Okay.
Self and Gretchen are waiting for the buyer who doesn't show up. But, T Bag, back in Company possession, tells Lincoln where to find them. He and Sucre race to the docks, but they just missed them. The Company helps them track Self and Gretchen to some warehouse where they have made contact again with the buyer.
While the buyer is testing the product, we see that what's on Scylla is things like: Nuclear, Medical, Solar, and a bunch of other subcategories. However, Lincoln and Sucre and in the building and Sucre makes a noise alerting them. A shoot out ensues and the buyer makes off with the product without paying. Self gets shot, and Gretchen runs out of bullets. But, when Lincoln is about to shoot her, she tells him that if he does, he'll never find out who the buyer was.
When Michael wakes up, he tells Sara about his weird vision. Then, Lincoln shows up to tell him the truth. That he traded Michael's surgery for returning Scylla to the Company. Michael is not happy. But, it seems like he's stuck here at the Company until Lincoln delivers. Michael tries to talk him out of it, but Lincoln informs him that their mom (just like dad) was a member of the Company so he's just following in the family business. Sigh.
And then we've got Mahone. He's been in the car for about 3 hours and complains of having to use the bathroom. After some discussion, they agree. Asshole FBI guy is convinced he's going to run for it, so he's surprised when Mahone comes back out. However, he stole a piece of pipe and used it to break the window and jump out. Thankfully, Felicia helps him escape. I was so sad when I thought she wan't going to, but so happy when she did. Don't know where he's going to end up, but on the run is preferable to being with that asshole.
As much as I've been loving this season, I'm sort of skeptical now. I don't know if I like this new direction. But, we do have to fill another season and a half, so I guess they've got to do something, right?
