Prison Break Season 4 Episode 9

Michael made a deal with the devil in Prison Break Season 4 Episode 8, agreeing to bring T-Bag and Gretchen in with him. Roland, meanwhile, sold them out in a failed attempt to make some quick cash.

Lincoln is trying to force Wyatt into pretending he killed them, but Wyatt doesn’t break. They’ll more likely knock him unconscious than get him to talk.

The general believes that Scylla needs to be moved to a location they don’t know about, since that’s the most secure location. He wants to make sure that they can’t walk down the streets of LA without people noticing them. Because that worked so well for the Fox River boys.

Self has a new idea. He sends Sara in to be good cop and talk to Wyatt. Wyatt’s not afraid of death, though. While they stay behind and try to get something out of Wyatt, the rest of them have a partially formed plan how to proceed, which stops halfway until they get the rest of the pages from Gretchen.

T-Bag’s boss plans to look into the so-called resignation he received. Gretchen tells him not to worry because they’ll never find the body.

Mahone’s not quite as patient as Sara and Self are. He wants revenge right away. Self promises him that when the time is right he won’t stand in his way.

Heading through the tunnel, they hear a noise that they don’t know what it is. What they do know is that they’re probably right underneath the company’s headquarters. So the logical course of action is to proceed toward that unknown noise and right at the enemy. It turns out the noise they heard is a conduit pipe to the LA water supply, which means 30,000 gallons of water are rushing through there every second. They want to dig, but the cement just leads to granite. There’s no way under or over the pipe, but perhaps they can go through it.

Wyatt’s done just enough talking for Self to be able to scramble the words into exactly what they need. Now that that’s over with, Mahone gets some one-on-one time with Wyatt.

Just as the general believes everything’s all done, Gretchen shows up ready for target practice. The general dismisses everybody else from his office, and he’s unconcerned about Gretchen or the weapon she’s brandishing.

Michael tells them about the manual override to shut down the water. He figures the city will respond in about an hour, giving them 60 minutes to do 90 minutes of work. As he’s getting ready to start, Michael collapses.

The general keeps on talking until he gets Gretchen to hand over her gun, then he tells her she’s his girl, and then kisses her, whatever that’s about.

Mahone doesn’t want his time with Wyatt to go by quickly. He’s sadistic enough to know just the right way to torture people, and he’ll use this knowledge to his advantage.

Scofield’s on the sidelines for the time being, but Sucre’s got his back. Michael instructs him on how to take his place and continue the work of getting through to the other side.

Mahone has just one favor to ask of Wyatt, after which he will stop torturing him. He gets him to call his wife and apologize. Once that’s done, he puts a cement block on his arms, takes him to the water, and gives him a shove.

T-Bag decides to turn Andrew Blauner’s (his now dead co-worker) own plot against him. He gets his own sales records and pretends they’re Andrew’s, point out all the irregularities, and suggests he must have been money laundering. He tells his boss that they don’t want any investigations since it will mean IRS backlash, so he tells him to tell the detective investigating the matter a story about irregularities in his expenses to explain his disappearance.

Two of the guys have to grab the beam so that they can guide it through the conduit. Bellick and Lincoln are the lucky two volunteers. When the water starts rushing back and they think all is lost, Bellick isn’t ready to just give up. Brad hops down and grabs the broken beam, lifting it up. The only way for him to do this is to trap himself inside in the process. He’s okay with this, and just as the beam is secured in place, he sees the water come rushing at him.

The general is informed that Scylla can be moved right away, and he likes the idea because, despite the fact that he thinks Scofield and Burrows are dead, he doesn’t like that they came as close as they did.

King of the Hill Cancelled

Fox will be cancelling King of the Hill after its current 13th season finishes. Co-creator Greg Daniels has moved on to The Office, while the other co-creator Mike Judge will be working on another animated series The Goode Family for ABC.

For its part, Fox will be launching two new animated series for midseason: The Cleveland Show (a Family Guy spinoff) and Sit Down, Shut Up. Presumably, the network will try to keep the Sunday night animated block alive.

Melrose Place Remake?

Given that the new 90210 has been a big success (by The CW standards anyway), this should come as no surprise. Variety reports that Melrose Place, which was a spinoff of the original 90210, is being considered for a remake as well.

Discussions are currently in the early stages, and details are few, although it does not appear Darren Star (creator of the original) would be involved in the remake.

Heroes Season 3 Episode 7

The group of heroes and villains went to see Arthur Petrelli in Heroes Season 3 Episode 6, culminating in his son Peter visiting him and having his powers stolen.

Arthur tells Peter his abilities are gone forever. Oh, and he didn’t really die of a heart attack. Arthur says he wants to work together, but Peter wants to make him pay.

Claire and her mom get home from their ordeal, only Claire doesn’t seem to be impacted by it. They walk in and find Lyle on the ground, and they see they’ve got a visitor, Elle. After they dump water on her to avoid being harmed by the electricity flowing from her body, she claims she’s there because she needs help and has nowhere else to go.

Suresh has become a bit of a madman in his quest to remove Maya’s powers. Arthur’s got a much easier way to remove powers. That doesn’t prevent her from feeling Suresh is not playing with a full deck, though. He asks Arthur for help, not to remove his powers, but to reverse the negative side effects from them. They’re looking for his help to perfect their own formula that’s similar to his.

A still unconscious Angela tells Sylar that Peter needs his help. With that, he breaks free and escapes.

Elle doesn’t want to go to Pinehearst without knowing about it first. She stopped by to get HRG’s opinion. Claire’s not looking to convince her to not go there. Rather, Claire wants to go there with her.

Arthur wants to find out from Daphne why Parkman’s not there. He wants her to go back to him, not to convince him to take a deal, but to kill him. Parkman’s father seems to have a problem with this plan, so Arthur kills him.

As requested, Daphne visits Parkman, and she’s got a gun. He tells her to go ahead and shoot, then he goes into how the future will be. Despite her fear that they’re going to come after her, she decides not to go through with the plan. He knows now that his father is dead, though.

Suresh needs test subjects. First up is Peter, who tells him about the future and that he’s a monster then. That’s enough to convince Suresh it’s too late, but before he can inject Peter, Sylar shows up to free him. Peter escapes, but the very angry Suresh makes sure Sylar doesn’t. Arthur stops Suresh’s onslaught of Sylar because, despite how many people he’s harmed, he’s Arthur’s son, and someone he’s been waiting a long time for.

Claire and Elle decide to fly to Pinehearst. You know that warning about turning off all electronic devices? As Elle’s about to crash the plane because she can’t turn herself off, Claire grabs her hand to assist her.

Knox arrives to see that Daphne couldn’t complete her mission as he’d expected. Parkman gets into Knox’s head and makes him think they’re dead. Matt suggests getting help from Primatech.

Arthur asks for the return of his son, alive. Then he tries to convince Sylar that Peter is Angela’s favorite son and that Sylar frightens her.

Maya says she needs to make amends, and she hopes Mohinder does as well, asking him to get well as she leaves.

Peter hasn’t left. He didn’t want to leave Sylar alone because he wants him to go with him. I’ll take the throwing him out the window as a no. He falls right in front of Elle and Claire and tells them his ability’s gone, although he’s not dead having just fallen from the top of a building. Claire wants to get gone, but this is exactly what Elle came for.

Like Claire, Arthur’s wondering how Peter survived a fall of 7 stories without the ability to heal. Peter believes Sylar’s on his side and saved his life.

Daphne phones Arthur, who warns her that he’ll put her right back where he found her if she doesn’t come through.

Now it’s Nathan’s turn to find out that their father’s not among the deceased. Peter warns him that they need to do something to stop him or else.

Tracy’s familiar with Pinehearst, and despite the warning from Peter, Nathan will be going there anyway, so she will be tagging along as he goes to kick down some doors.

Hiro doesn’t want time travel any more. He hopes a spirit walk will be safer. After he eats a disgusting paste made of roots and hyena dung, he collapses.

Heroes Season 3 Episode 6

On Heroes Season 3 Episode 5, Adam escaped from Hiro, Maya found out Suresh is becoming a monster, Daphne was approached by Linderman to do some recruiting, and we met the man pulling the strings.

Now we take a look back at what actually happened between Hiro and Ando. Hiro got a fake sword and a blood pack and told Ando to play dead. It makes him look like a villain. Like Daphne. She gives him an assignment to go to Africa to capture the painter and bring him back alive.

Claire’s going to rescue her mother from Eric. Sandra’s going with her. Surely there are better mother/daughter bonding experiences. Meanwhile, Meredith is telling Eric she never loved him because he disgusts her. His mind control is preventing her from doing anything unless he wants her to do it.

Adam’s hanging out with Knox, and they go see Arthur Petrelli, who’s lying in bed with tubes in him. After he grabs hold of Adam and makes him disintegrate, he’s able to sit up, breathe on his own, and talk.

Daphne’s at the airport where Linderman meets her. She’s feeling guilty that she has turned Hiro evil. He talks her into proceeding with her next assignment, Parkman, who arrives with his turtle. Thanks to his trip to the future, Parkman already knows who she is, so she doesn’t have to do any convincing to get him to go somewhere with her.

Nathan brings Tracy to see Suresh. She shows him her powers and explains that a doctor gave them to her. Her main concern is having her power removed, but Suresh is particularly interested in this because giving people powers is exactly what he’s trying to do.

Daphne’s not hitting on Parkman. She’s just trying to give him an assignment. So he tells her the story about how he knows her, which makes her think he may be a bit of a stalker. While she does whatever it is she needs to do, he’ll wait there for her and not move.

Suresh gives Nathan and Tracy some shots. Then they collapse.

Daphne arrives to spring Sylar. He doesn’t want to leave and doesn’t trust her. She gives him a business card and flees. He wakes up Peter and tells him he doesn’t want to be a monster any more and that their mother is in trouble.

Ando and Hiro arrive in Africa. They’re not kidnapping an innocent man. They’re just “borrowing” him. When he goes to see the precog, Hiro finds a painting that’s still wet. In it, he’s getting hit over the head with a shovel.

Sandra pretends she’s there to book a birthday party for her son, but Eric busts her and stops her from leaving. Claire goes in back to save Meredith, but she can’t exactly move of her own free will. Now Claire can’t move either.

When Hiro wakes up, Ando convinces him to time travel back to one minute before he got hit with the shovel. He arrives one minute earlier and is greeted with another painting of himself being hit over the head with a shovel. Just in time to see himself getting hit over the head with a shovel the first time, too.

Daphne wants to recruit Suresh as well, and she hears Tracy and Nathan in need of help. She figures he’s just as bad as the rest of them, so she leaves the business card and takes off.

Hiro’s got a new plan: hide and wait for the painter to come back.

Eric wants to play a game (and also to not be interrupted by Barbie). He wants Claire to choose between Meredith and Sandra. He makes her pull the trigger on Sandra, but only one chamber’s full. Now it’s Sandra’s turn. She gets Claire, who tells her to go ahead because she knows it’s not like she can hurt her anyway. She pulls three times before it fires. Claire recovers quickly, gets up, and knocks out the unsuspecting Eric.

Sylar and Peter pay a visit to Angela, and Sylar wants Peter to look inside her head to find out what’s wrong. He gets an image, which is on the business card Sylar got from Daphne. Peter wants to go research what’s happening, but Sylar wants him to stay. A battle of heroes ensues, with Peter getting his way.

Tracy tries to convince Suresh she understands him, but as she grabs his hand, she uses her freezing powers to knock him down and escape. He’s not done with them quite yet, though.

As Parkman’s about to give up on Daphne returning, she arrives and tells him that she’s supposed to recruit him, but she doesn’t want to because he’s not like all the evil people she’s recruited so far. He warns her she needs to stay away from them, too, because of what he saw in the future. She doesn’t trust that he can protect her, so she plans to do what she always does: keep moving too fast to get caught.

At nightfall, Hiro tries his sneak attack plan. He grabs the shovel and prepares to strike the precog, who tells him he passed the test of not relying too much on his powers and is now ready. He shows him the painting, which contains the Pinehearst logo.

The bad guys arrive to see Arthur, as does Peter, who’s surprised to see that his father’s alive. He gives his father a hug. Bad move. Now his father’s got his powers.

Prison Break Season 4 Episode 8

They managed to get the fifth card copied in Prison Break Season 4 Episode 7, but all news was not good news. Gretchen has stopped by with the pages from the bird book, and she wants them to free T-Bag, foiling the plans to send him back to prison. And their device for copying cards has been confiscated because Roland just couldn’t help but gamble with it.

Lincoln’s thinking about the accidental on purpose car wreck plan again, only with shots being fired this time.

Gretchen approaches Michael and Self. She wants to bring down the company, claiming her name’s on the same hit list as Michael’s. Her package deal is that she’s in if T-Bag is.

Michael tells Sara that he’s fine and that Lincoln’s just overprotective. Oh, and by the way, the woman that tortured her all those months is alive. However, he tells her that Gretchen and T-Bag will get exactly what’s coming to them as soon as they get the information they need.

T-Bag doesn’t trust Scofield and thinks Susan’s a fool for trusting him herself. He gets a visit from Fang, who reminds him he gave him three days to get Scylla. Gretchen reminds him how she helped him before when she was working for the company. He agrees to give her $125 million for Scylla.

Lincoln’s still on the car wreck theory. Sara will pump the general full of morphine. To make it not look suspicious, they need to control who the paramedics who show up on site are as well. They plan to grab the card and download it on a laptop.

Gretchen wants Self to give a message to Sara: meet her at a motel to “clear the air.” For some unknown reason, she’s not interested.

T-Bag wants to know what his cut is. Gretchen agrees to $25 million. She doubts Scofield and his crew will be around to collect, though. She lets him know that Scylla isn’t just the company’s little black book.

The general’s on the move, and everybody’s in place. Lincoln and Sucre are in the crash dummy car preparing for a head on collision. As they’re just about ready to go, Wyatt shows up and starts shooting. Perhaps Wyatt can trust the phone calls he’s getting from Roland after all.

Self tells Gretchen she doesn’t have any rank in this situation and better get out of the country once this is all over.

The secretary’s working with T-Bag, who tells her the payday for this is $1 million. She’ll work with him to make sure Gretchen doesn’t go back on her word.

Good thing they had an ambulance. Sara has managed to get the bullet out of Sucre.

Roland’s removed his ankle bracelet and disabled it. He grabs the car and his laptop and disappears. He meets up with Wyatt, who doesn’t have his money but does shoot him in the leg. Yeah, dumb idea to trust that this was a legitimate business transaction.

Despite her flashbacks, Sara goes to meet with Gretchen at the motel. Gretchen calls for a cease fire and offers her the chance to get revenge: 5 minutes to put as many scars on her back as possible. Sara just wants to know the name of the guard Gretchen left to die in her arms. The guard helped her escape, and Gretchen says she got what she deserved then. Sara promises to get even when this is over.

Roland tells where the brothers are, and then Wyatt shoots him anyway. The others come from behind and attack Wyatt and grab the laptop.

The general says this isn’t an attempt on his life… it’s an attempt on his card. He wants it moved.
