In Prison Break Season 3 episode 6, they continued to prepare for the breakout. Mahone accepted a plea agreement and got out of prison the old fashioned way. Lincoln finally had to tell Michael the truth about Sara, and we left off with him blaming Whistler and throwing down the chicken foot.

They are to return in 15 minutes for the chicken foot fight. This looks like the replacement distraction for the now cancelled soccer game.

Mahone’s on his way to meet with the special prosecutor, which is a “formality.” They promise him he’s got full immunity and that it will be over within the hour.

As I expected, the fight was just a setup. It’s a diversion to help them get out of there without being seen. Michael tells Whistler not to mention the name Sara again and says he’s going to kill whoever’s responsible for killing her.

Bellick asks whether it’s true about Sara and says he’s sorry and she was a good person.

Sucre’s sticking around, and this time he’s near the van where they’re holding LJ, preparing for the exchange.

As they’re breaking the bars off their windows, Whistler gets concerned that Mahone might rat them out. Mahone faces some complications, as some people are getting “cold feet.” He’s told he’s got no better choice unless someone else is offering a get out of Sona free card.

A few seconds after 3:13, the second guard is distracted by the glare they anticipated. As they’re trying to break out, though, they hear Sammy, who gets in and out fairly quickly, though he does hesitate. They hop out the window and climb down the rope ladder. Only problem is the weather’s not cooperating, and although Michael’s made it to the ground, Whistler’s still at the top when the clouds start to cover the glare.

They’re both forced to climb back up the ladder. The ladder gets stuck, so they stash it just as Sammy comes looking for them for the fight.

When they get into the yard, they tell Lechero it’s been a terrible mistake and that everything’s been settled. He doesn’t care and insists they settle it in a fight to the death. Finally, Whistler decides to punch Michael to get things started. The crowd’s unhappy with the quality of the fight, however, and one of the guys watching it throws something at Whistler to make things more interesting.

Sofia pulls a gun on Lincoln and tells him she can’t let him hand Whistler over.

Susan threatens LJ, but he’s not afraid because he knows she needs him. She says if it’s not over by today, she doesn’t need to bargain any more, though.

The second guard finally realizes his coworker is missing and radios down for a replacement. After some investigation, they find the rope ladder, which is now hanging out the window.

Then they sound the alarm and storm the prison. Now the fight’s over at least.

Susan calls Lincoln, who pretends they made it out safely.

They know one thing. The cell belongs to members of Lechero’s crew. So then they shoot one of his men at random. He follows this up by turning his attention to Lechero, blaming him for the escape attempt. He may have fooled the guards, but Scofield’s not fooling anyone inside the prison, as they know the only guy who would actually make an attempt like that.

Lang asks Mahone about the men he killed, and he suspects she’s setting him up.

Susan receives confirmation that the escape didn’t go down as planned. They pack up the van and take off. Lincoln tells Sucre not to let them leave. Sucre complies… and his car is hit at top speed. I won’t be surprised if he doesn’t survive the episode.

Lincoln drives up to the scene of the wreck. Susan and her buddy are injured. Lincoln shoots the driver and grabs her. The guy in the back has a gun to LJ, though. Susan tells Lincoln to go ahead and kill her, but he refuses to do so in order to save LJ. He asks for one more chance. She seems to accept and takes off, but they leave behind some body bags in their haste to leave. The good news is that Sucre is okay.

Sammy grabs Scofield and brings him in to see Lechero. Lechero asks a straightforward question: whether Michael’s trying to break out of the prison. Michael refuses to tell the truth, but because nobody trusts him any more, Lechero doesn’t kill Scofield. Instead, he tells him he’s breaking out, and he’s taking him along.

Mahone’s told he needs to wait until the next morning, but he demands that it needs to happen right now. He gets no cooperation.

Susan goes to the prison, where she meets with Whistler. He asks for four more days. We find out her real name is Gretchen.

In Prison Break season 3 episode 5, the escape plans started to take shape. While watching the guards, they got caught, which resulted in Scofield’s cell being taken away. Mahone, an ally for the time being, managed to come up with an alternative plan.

Tonight, we will get to see both episodes 6 and 7 in a special 2 hour block, so stick around for the live blog.

Scofield confronts the guy from last episode who said he knew Whistler. He says he swears he worked with him at a hotel in France. Mahone’s concerned Whistler’s got a stalker.

Michael tells his brother the new plan. The guard with the cup of coffee needs to be taken care of by putting something in his coffee to make sure he’s unconscious. Lincoln continues to lie about Sara being okay, but Michael’s not buying it. He refuses to go anywhere if he doesn’t see pictures of LJ and Sara by 2:30 that afternoon, a couple hours from then (and also about half an hour before the planned escape).

Susan tells LJ a story about how she was a hostage and tried to run, which led her to be recaptured and abused. She tells him if he doesn’t try to be a hero, he’ll be fine.

Mahone gets a visit from an old friend, FBI agent Lang. She offers him a deal, a move out of the prison and an 8 year sentence. She tells him to take the deal, or he’ll be in prison for the rest of his life. He’s not interested.

The new prisoner’s now dead, in a dispute settled outside the ring, which upsets Lechero. There is no shortage of possible suspects, as this guy’s pissing off a lot of people. Because he’s an asshat, Sammy pulls McGrady aside. He says he saw one person go into the stairwell, then he heard an argument. That person? Whistler, of course.

Scofield blames Mahone, then later blames Bellick as well. Both insist they didn’t do it. Lechero has a chat with Whistler, who makes a convincing argument that it doesn’t need to be resolved right away. Lechero says they have all the time in the world, and that he can stay in the chair until they do figure things out.

Sucre identifies who he believes is the correct guard they want to take out. Lincoln tries to give him a coffee that’ll knock him out, but it doesn’t work. So Sofia steps in and asks for a ride from Link, and the guard readily offers to help her.

T-Bag comes up with a plan. He tells Scofield to drop Sammy’s ring in the blood to set him up.

While on the way to where Sofia says she’s going, the guard stops and propositions her. She pretends she’s one of Lechero’s girls, which makes him give up, but it’s enough distraction to give her the opportunity to switch coffee cups with him.

Lincoln lets Susan know there’s a complication drugging the guard. She gets suspicious because she was under the impression they were breaking out at 9 at night, rather than in the middle of the afternoon. So she threatens to kill LJ, which gets the truth out of him.

Contrary to T-Bag’s plan, Michael instead decides he wants to setup Mahone, who shortly thereafter receives another offer of 4 years of minimum security prison. While Michael’s blaming Mahone, he’s being escorted out of the prison, apparently having accepted the deal.

Lechero seems to want to kill Whistler, and Scofield calls him a joke for killing someone for no reason. Lechero does stab someone, the guy standing next to Whistler, who’s been smoking cigars Augusto used to pay to Lechero as tribute.

Because of the dead body, Sucre gets another chance to spray down the fence, hopefully reducing the odds of electrocution.

Susan gives Lincoln the picture he asked for. Too bad it’s the same newspaper Sara was holding last time. With that, Lincoln finally tells Michael Sara’s dead, but they still need to break out so LJ doesn’t die. Scofield blames Whistler (or so he says) and throws down the chicken foot.
