In Prison Break Season 3 episode 3, Michael and Link tried to pull a fast one and rescue LJ and Sara, but they were unable to get them in time. Susan B. Anthony warned Link not to interfere again and left him something in the garage as a warning. So for episode 4 Good Fences, we’re now left with one question: what’s in the box?
Lincoln goes to visit Michael, who asks him to reach out to the prison’s gravedigger. Link starts to feel sorry for all the people who have been hurt because of him. Link has a flashback to what was in the box. It’s Sara’s head. Sure to piss off Michael if he finds out. No attempt here to even try to keep hope alive for her and Scofield.
When he goes to visit Susan, she says the company did handwriting analysis on the book he gave her, and she wants the actual one since she knows he wrote what was in the other one.
Michael asks McGrady for a favor (he wants his cross), and instead of just cooperating without questions, he says this time he wants to know why. He then goes to a slowly losing it Mahone and asks him for a favor, a felt tip pen, and he tells him to get his act together. Bellick then goes up to Mahone and wants to help.
Sophia confronts Whistler about him breaking out and tells him she wants to help. She insists on getting involved no matter what he says.
When the electricity goes out, Lechero goes to Scofield for a fix (no electricity means no phone, and no phone means big trouble). Since the electricity is outside the walls, Michael tells him he can’t fix it, and Lechero responds that he’s going to have to. Michael pretends to be concerned about the danger involved. He asks for a specific cell, claiming he wants it because it’s the first one to get sunlight in the morning.
Sucre wants to leave the country to get a job. Lincoln asks him to stick around to be a translator. Sucre doesn’t want to miss his bus, but just as they’re talking, Sophia shows up looking to help.
Whistler tells Michael he knows who he is. He says Bellick’s not in but Mahone is, or at least he thinks he is.
Bellick runs and tells Lechero that Scofield’s planning on breaking out. He tells him about how he trusted Michael in Fox River, which allowed him to break out of there. He informs him of something Scofield buried where they’re digging, and Lechero makes him unbury whatever it was. He shows him it’s just duct tape, or at least that’s his story anyway. Then he goes to turn the switch on and has a flashback to why the power’s off. He took the cross and jammed it in there to make believe they lost power. Removing the cross made the power go back on. He has to wait for an opening while Lechero’s there watching him, but he manages to get the power back on.
T-Bag’s up to his old tricks. He kills one of Lechero’s men, pretending it’s a drug overdose. Lechero tells him there’s now an opening on his crew.
Mahone’s slowly going more and more insane without his drugs. He’s hearing and seeing Haywire, one of my favorite characters from season 1.
Lincoln and Susan buy off the gravedigger, or so they think. They bring him $15,000, and he demands more. Susan’s response? She shoots him, saying he’ll just sell them out to the cops.
The power being back on is enough to get Lechero to trust Scofield again. Bellick, however, is in trouble. It’s time to start torturing him.
Scofield gets his new cell and thinks all is going well, but Mahone stops by and threatens him. He tells him he’s going with him and isn’t his errand boy.
Lincoln stops by the prison again. As could be expected, he tells Michael Sara’s fine. The good thing to come out of it is that Sucre feels bad about Sara’s death, so he comes back to help. He takes the gravedigger’s place. They spray a chemical used to kill the odors of bodies, which also eats through steel, such as fences.
