Prison Break – 302 – Fire / Water
Hooray, another episode of Prison Break! I cannot stress enough, how happy I am that it is set in prison again! It was great to see Sucre back in the show, and that Maricruz is ok. Very sad that they had to break up, even if it is temporary. The supposed mourning woman from the first episode, turns out to be Whistler’s girlfriend, but that could be a lie too. It is clear that she cares for him though, and wants him out of prison.
We finally find out why Whistler has a bounty on his head, as he apparently killed the Mayor’s son! Whoever kills him, or brings him in, will get an easy court hearing and should be set free. The lady who has been in contact with Lincoln regarding LJ and Sara, calls herself Susan B., but once again you can only take it with a grain of salt. There is definitely a lot to be discovered about this woman.
The water crisis set intensity and urgency to the entire episode. This was raised higher when word of Whistler’s location down in the sewers spread amongst the inmates. This lead Mahone down to the sewers where he busted the wall in and grabbed Whistler, threatening to kill him, if he wouldn’t go along with him. Michael needs Whistler alive of course, so he has to resort to associating with the big boss Lechero.
Michael needs to be of some use to Lechero though, which is where he performs a good ol MacGyverism and fixes the water system, which douses out the fury of the inmates, as well as pleasing Lechero, which ultimately saves Whistler. So now Whistler is free to roam the prison normally, but I am sure he will run into trouble still from others. The coolest thing for me though was finding out he is an Aussie! I thought he might have been Aussie or English from the few words he said in the first episode.
Now that the Whistler dilemma is out of the way, hopefully we get to see Michael perform some of his magic, and begin devising a plan to escape. It should be interesting, as he has practically no information on this prison, compared to his carefully planned and studied plan from season 1.
