Every week I say how much I hate this show out loud because the suspense totally kills me. Like wondering what was going to happen with the cell, and then at the end with them taking down that guard, it was freaking awesome. That was my cue to say how much I love this show.

And T-Bag and C-Note playing poker together was hysterical. I thought when T-Bag said who was going to suspect that they were working together, one of C-Note's former gang friends was going to be in the game and out them, so I was surprised to not see any there.

Link to next weeks promo. Geez, FOX, still giving every single surprise in the promos I see.

yeah to be honest I don't even care how that part of the story line even sort of plays out..

The show would work ust as well for me if the story line was that his brother was a total criminal and they just want to break out and make a run for it being they are family. The whole side story of tinfoil whoever doing whatever is a sort of a lame. I just don't think it is very well done IMO, at least not as well done or a tight a story as the prison break out part.

I still think this show end with them thrown in a mexican jail some how as a set up for season two. :P

Yeah - I was at that too.

People can say what they want about how unrealistic things are but the show entertains me enough.

Saw the previews for next week's episode and gotta say, I CANNOT WAIT!

Well they needed $500 to get the cell. He bought in with $100 and was up $300 so that puts him at $400. The guy he was playing said he was tired of losing his money and that it was the last hand. Had he folded, he wouldn't have had enough money to get the cell. Since that was the whole point of the game, folding was not an option. The only thing that was unclear was how much was in the pot before the guy raised with $70. It would have needed to have been at least $30 of Kitchen guy money in the pot to have them hit the $500.

Actually he bought in for $50. The other $50 was for T-Bag.

pure speculation on my part..but...just what i was thinking...
why would he (nick) be acting so guilty and conflicted around the lawyer chick though?

I could really care less about the story line outside the prison. The things going on in the prison is good enough to keep to going.

Well, he needed $500 for the deposit, right? I figured that was why.

Great episode. But I really want them to get back to the escape plan.

I don't know ...maybe he doesn't know exactly who he's talking to? .. maybe they want him "scared" for some reason...

I finally got to watch last Monday's ep, I should make a habit of it. Seeing it on Sunday with the next ep 24 hours away is cool.

This was one of the best episodes in a long time, too.
