Prison Break Season 4 Episode 14

Self got his hands on Scylla by tricking everybody, but in Prison Break Season 4 Episode 13, he found out that he was tricked, too, as he was unable to sell Scylla without the missing piece that Scofield’s got stashed away.

Michael’s still refusing to go to the hospital no matter how hard Sara tries to convince him.

Scofield calls Self, who promptly fires a smoke canister in through the window. They try to escape, but shots fire. Self says to come out with Scylla, or he’ll gas them out. Scofield’s not budging, so in come the 30 canisters Self warned him about. They’re wondering where Lincoln is. Probably right behind Self looking to punch someone.

Now that he’s got a gun to his head, the traitor has an offer. He’s got a buyer and is willing to split the money. He says the buyer is an ex-company guy with a bone to pick. Michael wants to meet, and he agrees to setup a meeting.

Mahone’s elsewhere, meeting with Agent Lang. He asks if she knows anyone in the Bureau who might be able to help.

Michael doesn’t want to sell Scylla because he fears that, if they do, the company will burn, but another company will just be built right on top of the old one.

Sucre has hitched a ride in the trunk with Self and Gretchen.

Michael tells Lincoln that, however this may play out, he has no regrets.

Gretchen and Self believe they’ve found where Scofield stashed the missing piece of Scylla. Gretchen talks to her daughter and tells her that the mean man will go away soon, but Self has other plans. He tells T-Bag to kill both of them if he doesn’t hear from him in two hours. After that, T-Bag gets a visit from a bible salesman, who he promptly hits and ties up.

Lang brings Mark, another agent, with her to meet with Mahone. They believe he’s got the Attorney General’s ear. Mark agrees to help, with the right proof.

Lisa comes to pay a visit to her father. She’s resigning because she knows who he really is now. That’s okay because he wanted a son anyway.

T-Bag continues to beat up the bible salesman. He insists they just blend in well.

Sucre and Sara go inside the hotel and get Gretchen’s room number with a little bribery. The bribery’s not enough to hold off the hotel guy from giving Self and Gretchen a heads up, though. Gretchen heads out to kick a bum in the stairwell, who happens to be Sucre covered up and waiting to get into a brawl. Then Scofield sends a smoke canister inside the room to smoke out Self. Gretchen wins the brawl with Sucre until Sara throws her down the stairs. Self’s outside now, and Michael manages to grab something from him. As he runs away from the enusing gun fight, Scofield’s nose begins bleeding profusely, and he collapses.

Self comes up to him and grabs his bag back. Gretchen stops by and picks him up. The guy shooting at her grabs Michael and puts him in the back of their van.

Thanks to his high tech surveillance equipment, Self was right about where the missing piece of Scylla is, and he goes to the warehouse to grab it.

When Michael wakes up, he’s tied down and listening to some medical talk.

Without Scylla, Mahone doesn’t think he can get anywhere.

Before long, Michael’s being operated on. A bunch of faces surround him, but we finally see a recognizeable one: the general.

Self calls T-Bag. He instructs him to kill the company operative. Or the bible salesman, who can easily get past St. Peter if he really is a bible salesman. With some convincing from Rita and some scripture from the bible salesman, T-Bag ignores this directive. He frees the guy and tells him to go be free. His compassion is his undoing, since once he’s untied, his captive turns the tables and knocks him out.

Burrows arrives and tells the general he wants to see his brother.

Gretchen and Self are meeting with the conduit again. This time Scylla is complete. With confirmation that the buyer’s on the way, Self shoots the conduit and the other guy there. He says he doesn’t want this guy to get a cut for just making introductions.

Lang tells Mahone that, even without Scylla, the Attorney General’s willing to hear him out, but he’s still not sure he can trust the guy she’s sending him to Washington with. Then Mahone realizes he’s been set up and there really is no meeting.

The general agrees to provide Michael’s operation at a cost: the safe return of Scylla.

Reaper Season 2 Premieres March 17

After a hiatus following being treated with the same uncertainty The WB used to treat all of its shows with, Reaper will be back for season 2 on Tuesday March 17 at 9. The show will follow 90210, which I suppose makes about as much sense as we’re going to get considering this is The CW we’re talking about here. The second season will be an abridged 13 episodes.

Heroes Season 3 Episode 11

The eclipse started in Heroes Season 3 Episode 10, as all the heroes have so far found themselves powerless. Claire’s been shot, Daphne’s barely able to walk, and Nathan’s been captured by gun toting maniacs. Now it’s time for part two.

Peter wants to try to be a hero, even without his powers.

Contrary to the original plan, Claire has been brought to the hospital, where her mom pretends that it just happened, something the people at the hospital aren’t buying. Her whole system is infected like she’s never been sick, and as HRG warned, the cops will be coming.

Sylar and Elle have found their own not clothed way of getting over their power loss. The picnic ends when HRG shows up, starts firing, and kicks the door down. He hits Elle, but they manage to flee.

Claire’s mom calls HRG. He says she should tell them what he would tell them. She knows this means to lie.

Without her abilities, Daphne has cerebral palsy and needs to use leg braces. She believes that Arthur Petrelli is punishing them and the loss of their abilities is because of him. She also continues to insist she’s a villain.

Hiro and Ando are looking for answers, which they hope to find in back issues of the comic books. Unlike most people with the mind of a 10 year old, he’s got a credit card, which he happily uses about as responsibly as most other people do.

Peter and the Haitian find and knock down the Haitian’s brother, who tells them the only way to stop him is to kill him.

Frack (one of the comic store guys) thinks their powers will come back when the eclipse ends.

Nathan apologizes to a fellow captive for not having stood up for her when he had power and influence.

As Claire’s giving what sounds like a farewell speech, the machines she’s hooked up to start going crazy.

Much to her disappointment, Sylar makes sure he gets separated from Elle. Then he attacks HRG. Following a fight, HRG slits Sylar’s throat.

A dead Claire isn’t doing any better than Sylar is, but as her mom lifts the sheet off her head, she begins to recover.

With the eclipse over, the other heroes are regaining their powers as well. Daphne’s out of her leg braces, and Parkman’s able to read minds again. He wants to convince her again that she’s a good person.

Peter’s managed to free his brother but now finds himself in the middle of a gunfight. Though his men are defeated, the Haitian’s brother still has a god complex. With his abilities back, the Haitian manages to stop him, without resorting to having to shoot him.

When he goes to visit Maya, Suresh finds he’s back to being a mutant again.

Hiro doesn’t want to grow up. He doesn’t see why he should either. The comic books are doing just fine reading comic books and eating junk food. Sam (the other comic store guy) manages to convince him that he gives people hope that an ordinary person can be extraordinary. While reading through the comic books with a magnifying glass, they notice Hiro and Claire together in one of them, and they suggest he take Claire there to get his memory back.

Claire’s healed, physically anyway. Her father not being there for her as usual is a problem. During their discussion, Elle and Sylar come back. HRG wants Sylar to know that the Petrellis are just trying to turn him into a weapon and are not his real parents. Just as Sylar begins to cut HRG’s head off, Hiro shows up to stop the bad man. He takes Elle and Sylar elsewhere, then grabs Claire so he can save the cheerleader.

According to Sam, he heard a legend from a guy at a convention who heard from a dude who heard from another dude that one more 9th Wonder story exists. Isaac gave this to a bike messenger.

Nathan tells Peter that he respects him for always making his own decisions, whether they turn out okay or not. Now he’s headed to Pinehearst, as he believes that abilities will help stop the world’s genocide. The abilities may not be a good way, but they’re better than the alternative.

Suresh is ready to get back to work, since he doesn’t have anywhere else to go anyway.

Sylar says that nobody ever really changes, and that both he and Elle are just damaged goods. With that said, he drills into her head.

Hiro’s gone back to the past with Claire. The only other time they met was when she was a baby.

Prison Break Season 4 Episode 13

They managed to get their hands on Scylla during Prison Break Season 4 Episode 12, which has been the whole mission this season… only to lose it again to a double crossing Agent Self.

Mahone knows that Self’s government and can do as he pleases. Michael suggests calling Homeland Security and seeing how much they know. Self is beating them to the punch. He calls up and pretends he’s been shot by Scofield and Burrows. Then he fires shots and hangs up.

Michael calls and asks to speak to Self’s supervisor. Herb Stanton answers. Michael responds by hanging up.

The general’s not any happier, even if he is less sober. When he’s asked what his plan is, he just kills the guy who asked. Nobody else seems to have any further questions.

Michael takes something out of his pocket and hides it. It appears to be a computer chip. Then he collapses.

Lincoln spoke to LJ yesterday and told him it was almost over. He plans to keep his word.

Stanton calls Michael and asks him to come back to the warehouse. He apparently doesn’t know that Self set them up, and his new terms are to either turn themselves in or be hunted down like animals. Dumb terms.

Sucre wants to flee to Mexico, but Michael still insists that they take down the company and finish what they started. They figure that Self planned to unload Scylla with Gretchen’s assistance.

The news has picked up the story at Gate, and police have sketches of T-Bag and Gretchen.

Burrows calls Gretchen to tell her Self double crossed them. She claims she’s looking for Self, too. Then she gets a call from her sister, who tells her that her daughter’s been in an accident. Not falling for it, she wants to speak to whoever’s go the gun to her head. It’s Self, who tells her to come home.

Senator Dallow tells Stanton it’s madness because nobody knows, leaving himself and a couple of agents responsible for capturing the band of ex-cons. The US Marshalls are now on the case and want to know about this situation that nobody knows about.

Gretchen walks in on a captive Rita, promising everything will be alright. Self agrees everything will be okay, as long as she helps him find a new buyer for Scylla. Perhaps having her daughter hostage will help persuade her.

Realizing too late they’ve been setup by the feds as they wait for Gretchen, Lincoln has been captured by homeland security.

Self tells Michael that he likes him because he’s a smart guy. He’s just not smart enough. With that said, he’s got some advice, though: get his pals and start running.

While Gretchen takes Self to someone who may be able to help with a buy, T-Bag will stay behind to watch over her sister and daughter. Not the most stable character to leave them with, and not one who’s at all happy with her either. Her sister’s not too believing of the assurances she receives from her and starts swinging.

It turns out Self has a new identity and an escape out of the country ready to go. Lincoln gets an apology and a new offer. Either help them nail Self, or rot in prison. Sounds a lot like the old deal they got from Self. Senator Dallow gets Michael on the phone and pitches him this deal, telling him to come in so they can end this.

He agrees to hear the Senator out, but he’s got a plan just in case they, too, try to screw him. Sara tells him that, although she doesn’t like how he’s acting lately, nothing will come between them.

Gretchen tells Self that, when this is all over, he’s going to be just as alone as he is now. So he calls T-Bag and asks him to take out his gun and point it at Rita’s head. Gretchen will get Self on the plane by the end of the day or else.

Mahone comes to meet Sucre and Sara where Michael sent them, in a parking lot, which they realize doesn’t make sense. Michael didn’t really want them to look out for him. Rather, he wanted to look out for them, sending them to a bus that will take them out of the city. Sara believes that, if the deal is legit, there’s no need for them to run.

The punishment for conducting this operation without Congressional approval is 15 years in jail. If they get caught. Michael pushes for a deal where the others can run free while he and his brother testify, and when that attempt doesn’t fly, he knows there was no deal. As Michael’s being threatened at gunpoint with a countdown to five, shots are fired from behind them, taking out their immediate threat.

Only the shooter’s no ally, and he leads them off by gunpoint to bring them to the general. Good thing Sucre’s back, and with some more shots fired, they’re now back in control. Dallow blames Stanton and says it wasn’t his doing and tells them that, once they dispose of a folder in the briefcase on a table, none of this ever happened. Michael decides to let him go back to his wife and not kill him.

The conduit who’s working with Self will do business with him on Scylla. Once it’s complete. It seems there’s a piece missing. Time to go back to the people he just screwed over. Scofield tells him to come and get it.
