Back in December, the fall episodes concluded with Prison Break Season 4 Episode 16. Lincoln and Michael’s mom made an appearance, and it appears she’s there to cause problems for her sons.

Everybody gets pictures of people they care about. The colonel wants to properly motivate them to make sure he gets his hands on Scylla. He’s found out that Michael has joined the search for Scylla, so he’s given an order to have Michael eliminated if he’s spotted. The guy shooting at Michael proves he’s not joking.

Since they can’t afford to buy a car and can’t fly, Sarah suggests calling Lincoln.

Mahone has managed to locate some locks in Little Havana and down by the water. They will be headed there. Then Michael calls Lincoln and warns him that he’s going to do everything in his power to stop him. Oh, and mom’s alive. See you in Miami. They’re going to be hitching a ride on a truck.

Mahone and Lincoln have reached one of the locks and enter the building. Lincoln finds a picture of his mom. Someone knew he was coming. Maybe his mother has Scylla.

Michael doesn’t want to believe that his mother is a company agent. She must have been introduced to a company shrink after her operation.

The colonel is driving with some guy, who asks their driver to pull over. He has to get out to make way for his ride. As for the colonel, he’s stuck in the car, and it’s time for him to be blown up.

T-bag goes into a church and says he wants to go into the sanctuary. His soul is black, stained with the blood of the innocent, though, so he is not allowed to pass.

Lincoln says he considers his mom to be just someone in the way of his freedom.

The trucker giving Sarah and Michael gets pulled over by a cop. He busts inside the back of the truck and looks around but doesn’t see anything. He’ll need the driver to follow him back to Phoenix, so the driver calls him crazy. Then he shoots the driver dead.

Sarah and Michael will have to find an escape out of there. Maybe they can get through the side door.

The boys’ mom, Christina, has gotten word that the general is not exactly dead. He’s been taken back to the company headquarters by helicopter. The guy who attempted to blow him up but failed needs to be killed, so she has the driver shoot him.

Lincoln realizes that the photo has been doctored. They plan to head to the location a few miles north that corresponds to the license plate. He believes his mom may be one of the good guys now. He’ll be heading off alone.

The general calls Christina. She’ll have to excuse him if he sounds a bit abrasive. It’s been a while since anyone’s tried to kill him. He wants to know where she is.

Lincoln arrives at the rendezvous point. His mom is glad he got her message. If she doesn’t want to talk about Scylla, though, he claims he’s not interested in talking. He knows the truth. She works for the same people who have been trying to kill him. She claims that if a woman, a mother ran the company, it would be a lot better. What if the general were eliminated? Nobody would come after them then. Now he’s got another offer of freedom.

Michael and Sarah have managed to bust their way out of the truck. The guy trying to kidnap them will have to try again.

Self wouldn’t have a problem killing Lincoln’s mom. For some reason, Mahone would prefer not to kill her, though, if possible.

They head into the church to investigate a cruelty to animal charge. Are there chickens on the premises? They insist on going to the sanctuary. When they turn their backs, the guy pulls out a gun, but he’s promptly stopped. There are no chickens, but they have plenty of guns. The tables turn when another guy comes in and pulls out a gun on them. Then they turn again when Self starts firing, killing one of the guys.

Michael knocks the guy down who’s after them. The general didn’t send him. Before they can get an answer who sent him, he dies.

Lincoln hasn’t listened to his mom, who told him to stay away. She instructs the sniper to go ahead and take his clean shot.

Fox has scheduled the series finale of Prison Break for Friday May 15. The two hour final episode, Rate of Exchange/Killing Your Number, will air from 8-10.

Merely cancelling the show wasn’t good enough. In a not overly surprising move, Fox will now be moving the show’s final episodes to the Friday at 8/7c time slot when it returns on April 17. That will allow the show currently in that time period, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, to finish off what are likely to be its final episodes.

This has been expected for some time due to the struggling ratings, and Fox confirmed it today. Prison Break will air its final four episodes (possibly more) starting Friday April 17 at 8/7c (yes, Friday). The good news is that we can hopefully expect a worthwhile conclusion since it’s planned out well in advance.

Lincoln agreed to let Michael have his operation done by company doctors in Prison Break Season 4 Episode 15, in exchange for agreeing to return Scylla to the company safely. While he was having the operation, the vivid dreams gave Michael the answers he was looking for as to what Scylla really is. Gretchen and Self, having lost Scylla to the buyer without being paid, now have a new set of allies they don’t trust. T-Bag’s in the mix as well.

Lincoln meets with a girl who it turns out set him up. By the time he figured it out, he was being shot at. It’s a good thing he stole her wallet.

Sara tells the general that she wants to help rehabilitate Michael. He declines and tells her to just wait a few days or so. Also, he wants to put an end to the exhausting cat and mouse and to utilize Michael to his full potential.

Self decides that Burrows’ plan is wasting time, and he wants to change the regime. T-Bag doesn’t have a problem with that.

Gretchen believes it’s an inside job, which doesn’t change anything but just makes it harder.

Self informs Lincoln that he’s no longer in charge. Lincoln doesn’t trust him, but just as he’s about to start pounding him, Mahone arrives. Lincoln informs Self he’ll either keep doing what he’s told, or he’ll have his brains blown out.

Michael’s having a chat with a company doctor who’s trying to convince him he knows everything about him.

The group believes that someone’s trying to get Scylla out of the country by boat undetected. Mahone and Self head to the marina looking for Tia. The guy working there pretends he doesn’t know anything until he finds out Homeland’s involved. He admits that he moved a boat further down the dock. The boat’s headed to Nassau, Bahamas, and it’s leaving as they speak. They stop the passengers and begin a luggage search. The guy who’s running away might be a good place to start. Except he’s just carrying some joints.

Sara’s waiting for a phone call at a pay phone. The phone rings. She picks it up. And some masked men hop out of a van and grab her. She meets up with Lisa, who tells her where Michael is, says she’s on her side (or at least not on the company’s side), and that she better hurry because Michael’s personality is being carved out in an effort to recruit him. She could be setting her up, but it’s not like Sara has much choice.

Following a search of the people getting on the boat, they’ve come up with nothing.

Sara calls Lincoln to let him know what’s going on. An eavesdropping T-Bag calls the general to tell him the news, but if he was hoping for some reward, the phone hanging up on him doesn’t make it look too promising. The general instructs the doctor to get Scofield ready for transit, even if it kills him.

The boys believe they’ve found their guy, but Gretchen doesn’t need to do much looking. She’s ahead of them and already arranged a meeting. He offers her $10 million to serve up whoever’s on his tail.

As the doctor’s about to inject Scofield, he hears a noise. Scofield has arranged a disturbance that allows him to grab a gun and get the doctor drugged.

Gretchen tells the boys that the buyer is Lawrence Wilcox, who got on a plane and flew to the Bahamas, then got on a boat.

Michael’s on foot, but his head start isn’t very big as he’s fleeing from gun toting maniacs, who catch up to him. Luckily, Sara’s driving by and runs them off the road.

As Gretchen’s allegedly bringing the boys to the buyer, some guys show up and pull their guns on them, and she pulls her gun on them as well. More interested in getting her life back than the money, though, she shoots the goons instead. She leaves one man standing, who tries to stall but eventually is forced to fire on her before being shot himself. Self wants them to kill her, but the others have some compassion and let her lay there and bleed.

Michael’s learned from his experience that his mother may be alive.

Lincoln answers the dead guy’s phone and warns the person on the other line that he’s coming after her. When she’s asked who was on the phone, she answers that it was her son.

That’s where we leave things for now. Prison Break will be returning in the spring (schedule as yet undetermined… presumably March or April) for what will most likely be the final episodes leading up to the series finale. While the show has not yet been officially cancelled, it does not appear there will be a season 5.

Prison Break Season 4 Episode 16 The Sunshine State airs Monday December 22 at 9/8c on Fox.
