Hello, Pope; buh-bye, Paul.

Wow! Exciting happenings on PB this week. Michael and Sara convince Henry Pope to go to the cigar club to take out the contents of her father's humidor. Lincoln and Paul have an interesting conversation while waiting for M&S to return with Pope. This may be the only actual conversation I've ever seen Linc carry on; it doesn't involve Lincoln making any threats or grunting at all. Pope goes into the club to get the information Gov. Tancredi left there (and Michael and Sara have a very sweet conversation debating the merits of filet mignon vs. burritos while Pope is gone). As Pope leaves the club, he is confronted by The Smirking Man. Michael, down the street in the car, realizes what's happening and speeds up to hit Agent Kim with their trusty Jeep Wagoneer (knocks the smirk off his face for a brief moment). Lincoln The Rhino returns as he attempts scalpel-less cosmetic surgery on Agent Kim; Michael is finally able to summon Linc back to the car, Sara locks Paul out of the vehicle and they take off.

T-Bag takes the Hollanders to his childhood home-of-horrors and, through flashbacks, we see that his father sexually abused him. He asks Susan whether she can ever begin to love him; and she admits that she can't. He locks them in the cellar and gives serious consideration to how he will proceed. For once in his pitiable life, he makes the right decision, leaving the house and calling the police once he's at a safe distance, to alert the police that Susan and the kids are locked in. Can I add at this point, I am so torn by T-Bag's continuation on this show. The utterly brilliant Robert Knepper continues to amaze me. I am at once repulsed and fascinated by T-Bag and this week, finally illustrating that he truly loves Susan Hollander and her children, by doing the right thing in letting them go, was written so well by TPTB.

C-Note gives it his best shot to look after Dede on his own but finally realizes that she is just too sick for him to look after on his own. His good sense and loyalty to his family finally bring him to his senses, and he makes a deal with Mahone that, if Kacee is realeased from prison and his daughter receives medical care, he will help Mahone find Michael Scofield. I have read varying opinions on his actions; honestly, I think it's the first really honourable thing he's done since he left Iraq.

And Sucre! Papi is finally back with his baby's mami. "I got three words for you, baby...", no, not "I love you", "we gotta go!" LOL Cute. Good to see Sucre back with the love of his life, even if she did almost marry his cousin. Girl was confused; it happens.

Some pics of Michael being all intense:
