Short summary

In LA, General Krantz tells Wyatt that he wants Michael, Lincoln and Mahone dead. Agent Self forces Michael and his crew to wear monitor around their ankles, and their first assignment is to find the Scylla card. Mahone recalls that Whistler delivered the card to a card holder, and he noted that the driver probably would be a retired military. Using the information from the IRS, they find the identity of the driver. Meanwhile, T-Bag and Sancho head to San Diego in the desert. The hungry Sancho attacks T-Bag, who kills the Mexican while defending himself, and survives eating part of him. Later he gets a ride to San Diego with two bikers' sportsmen. Michael's team tracks the driver to the fortress of Spectroleum CEO Stuart Tuxhorn. The hacker Roland Glenn joins the team and gives a digital black hole device that copies any digital information when close to the source. Michael asks Sara to plant the device in the housekeeper's purse to bring the device inside the house and they succeed ...

The combination that T-Bag uses to enter the locker (36-24-36) found in Whistler's bird book is the same combination that is used to enter the safe in the game Flight of the Amazon Queen (1995) The same combination is also mentioned in the singing group the Commodores' hit song, "Brick House" as well as Sir Mix-A-Lot's "Baby Got Back."

Bellick suggestively mentions they are like DC Comic's Suicide Squad when he mentions they are a group of cons that's task is basically suicide and that they are basically expendable. Wentworth Miller (Michael Scofield) and Dominic Purcell (Lincoln Burrows) are in DC Comic's show The Flash were they are cons named Captain Cold and Heat Wave who also get a spin off called "The Legends of Tomorrow" where a group of rag-tags join together to finish an almost impossible mission in which they all could die.

Bellick gives a nod to the suicide squad when he mentions a group of cons being expendable and that the task ahead is suicide.

Last appearance of James Whistler.

Final appearance of LJ Burrows.

Last appearance of Bellick's mom, Mahone's son, and Maricruz's sister.

    In Los Angeles, Michael is tracking Whistler and Gretchen seeking revenge for the death of Sara. They go to the Roosevelt Hotel to buy a fifty million dollars card called Scylla. Whistler kills the sellers, copies the card but he is surprised by Michael. When Gretchen arrives, she discloses that Sara is alive. Later Gretchen meets General Jonathan Krantz in the Mojave Desert in California and he tells her that she has failed and asks his black agent Wyatt to kill her. Michael calls Lincoln in Panama and he tells that Sofia and LJ are all right, and Sona has burnt and Sucre, Bellick and T-Bag are not in the list of casualties. Sucre and Bellick meets Bellick's mother in the Arizona Desert near California. Michael reads his e-mail and Mahone sends a message asking Michael to meet him. He tells that Whistler and he are working against the company, Gretchen is dead and he explains the content of Scylla, indeed the company's little black book with all the information of the corrupt organization. When Whistler joins them, he tells that Sara is alive but he is murdered by Wyatt, who retrieves the card. T-Bag is with the prostitute in a hotel and hires two coyotes to cross him back to USA since he has a blood feud with Michael. However, he is double-crossed and left on the desert. General Krantz tells Wyatt that it is time to clean-up, and assigns him to kill Michael, Mahone and Lincoln. In Panama, Lincoln is attacked by a Company's agent, but he kills the guy and is arrested. Sucre visits his son in the hospital, but he is double-crossed by his sister-in-law and arrested with Bellick. Wyatt kills Pamela and Cameron and Mahone is arrested in his house. Michael calls Bruce looking for Sara but he is arrested by the police. Then the National Security Agent Don Self meets Michael and proposed his freedom if he works secretly for the government to take the Company down. Michael refuses in principle, and Bruce pays his and Lincoln's bails and they meet Sara. However, when Wyatt finds the safe house and shoots them, Michael calls Don and accepts the deal. He removes his tattoos and forms a team against the Company with Lincoln, Sara, Sucre, Bellick and Mahone.

    This fast paced first episode of the Fourth Season has many twists and ellipsis in the very beginning: Whistler and Gretchen are killed; Sona has burnt; Sucre. Bellick and T-Bag are out of jail. But the impossible happens: Sara is alive, and Michael now is teaming-up with Bellick and Mahone in the same side. I hope they are not double-crossed by Agent Don Self. Now there is another killer (Wyatt) chasing them. Let's see whether the number of new situations this Season works like the others did. My vote is eight.

Michael asks Sara to plant the device in the housekeeper's purse to bring the device inside the house and they succeed in copying the card. However, the maid leaves the device inside the house and they are forced to break in the place to retrieve the apparatus. T-Bag discovers the meaning of Whistler's code 36-24-36 in the Birds Guide. Michael and Sara conclude that Scylla is actually a six head monster from "The Odyssey" and therefore there are six cards. Gretchen is still alive.

    In this engaging second episode, a new member joins Michael's team, the hacker Roland Glenn. The cold blood killer Wyatt is the new menace to the group. The dangerous Gretchen alive and tortures by Wyatt is promising. T-Bag eats human flesh to survive and the joke with Mexican food is dark but very funny. My vote is eight.

    "Dr. Sara Tancredi. The only woman I ever loved." Oh come on! Even the least talented screenwriters out there realize that this is much too camp! Michael Scofield's monologue at the beginning, from which this is excerpted, marks as a fairly bad season opener already after 2 minutes. Sadly, nothing gets any better after that. The writers had some grand ideas again (caution: sarcasm), like killing two major roles of season 3 in the first 15 minutes or all convicts somehow escaping Sona because this "high security prison" just burns down. Furthermore, the return of Sara is made very bad, which makes it really difficult for me to like the fact that she's back again. But I'm not done yet: what's up with all the escaped convicts thinking that they can just go around like normal people, while in season 2 they had fake IDs and hiding places and stuff? Of course, each of them gets caught in the first half an hour and of course Michael's highest amount of jail time is 15 years, I'm sure this is a proper amount of time after escaping two penitentiaries and killing someone. I can't exactly say where this episode ends and #2 starts because it's a double episode, but until minute 46, nearly everything that happened was absolutely stupid. This is nothing less than the worst episode of the whole series.

    This Epi rocked....

    the intensity is huge...we feel the rage in Micheal for losing Sara !!! but like before Micheal again has himself in a impossible situation where in order for him to survive he has to help Whistler and Gretchan ...but there is a huge twist there!!!.... unlike before Micheal has some high-powered people HELPING Micheal for once..

    Enjoy it .. but there is one thing thats bugging me.... "can the show survive the name 'Prison break'?..i mean c'mon He has already broken out of 2 Prisons....if they need this to work...they might as well make him a alleged contractor for busting convicts out? HeHe!!!!! just say'in!!!"

    Only question: Just why in every single thrill-based series has to be some sort of uber-minded Einstein, who always has some uber-useful gadget, built apparently just for the current episode? Really, it seems like if screenwriters don't know how to make episode interesting, they came up with some invention, which would meant technological break-through. This device, able to read electronical processes within remote devices would trigger science revolution. And that guy who invented it, would be given Nobel prize. I could compare this to telepathy - it would be either impossible or miracle. I don't find this anymore interesting and thats the reason why the lowered rating.

    Lets start with the dialogue, it was awful, everything Michael and Sara said to each other seemed forced and off but that could have been alright if there wasn't some terrible decisions in the plot. First of all, when a character dies like Sara did in season 3 (Very messy handling of someone leaving the show) you don't expect them to comeback with some bullsh*t explanation like "I thought i saw her head in a box but I don't know it was dark" It was honestly like a soap, there was no need to revive Sara or even go on with the story with Michael's terrible "Need for revenge" nevermind killing off all of season 3's new characters in the first 15 minutes. That was just unnecessary and odd. How the hell did Sara manage to escape without LJ noticing who was apparently sitting next to her the whole time, and had to turn away as her head was being cut off? Nothing about the episode was good even though I knew after the end of season 2 It was just going to be a downhill slope it is starting to take the p*ss

    Acceptable episode and it gives a good opening for the new season, however there are some elements that indicate that this season is going to be far away from the quality of season 1... let's see!

    The action during the episode is nevertheless intensive. But, opposite to other seasons, it seems that the script is not fully thought throughout beforehand. Watching season 1 and 2 one had the feeling that everything is leading to a big point, however season 4 begins with much less sense of inner logic.

    A good side is that most of the main characters (Linc, Mikel, etc) are again in the move, so one can expect a lot of good moments coming.
