She didn't get the gun from Bellick. Linc had it tucked into his belt and she grabbed it when she went to hug him goodbye.

She ended up with his knife, not his gun

I've been having a little trouble with the timeline myself...

The end of last week's ep had C-Note waiting to see if the porch lights would get turned on at 7 PM, indicating that it was finally night of the first day after the break. Or, on the other hand, it's possible that Michael, Lincoln, Abruzzi, C-Note, and Sucre spend the night in that abandoned factory/mill/whatever on the first night after the break and they just never showed it.

Also, since last week's ep supposedly ended in the evening, I'm guessing that Michael, Lincoln, and Nika were driving all night or had stopped somewhere, with Bellick just waiting to make his move.

I guess I'm just having a problem with it because the events as they've shown them, especially those regarding Michael and Lincoln, are played as if they're happening with no break in-between, and since we haven't seen nightfall or anything yet, it's making it seem like this is all happening in one day, which isn't really possible given some of the other storylines.

Either way, as far as the Washington DC from Chicago thing goes, he did most likely have a head start, since the whole thing was a setup from the start, and I imagine that Mahone would have access to a plane that could take him direct from Chicago to the DC area.

I think the answers obvious. This show also takes place in the 24 universe.

I think he was leaving from New York. They made Ref to their "Jersey Guys" and a transport ship (which I would assume would have to leave from New York) Since You can't get over seas from Chicago. (But I forget where they were going)

NY to DC is 5-6 hrs by car

So I would assume that a plane could get from Chicago to DC in less than that.

By the way, anybody who's seen Heat knew that Abruzzi was dead when he left his wife to get revenge before turning over a new leaf.

The silliest part this week was the college girl falling for Tweener (unless she is playing him for some reason). I'm not gonna deny that seemingly sharp girls will fall for dumbasses all the time as they will sometimes have some qualities the girls will be attracted to. Tweener has nothing. He is creepy in the way he comes on to her, sounds and acts like an idiot, and seems to only have the wigger personality. And according to my wife, is average in the looks department. Not really much for a girl to fall for.

Why does it take the FBI running a blood analysis to figure out the car crash was staged? Wouldn't the fact that there werent, I dunno....2 charred bodies inside tip them off that Michael and Linc weren't in it?

I like this show, but seriously......show us a little respect.

Can't go on a hunch. They have to test the evidence. Like the guy said, they don't assume they are dead until they have tested it.

Missed the first 20 minutes of Monday's episode

I missed the first 20 minutes of Monday's episode bc of the president's address to the nation. Can anyone tell me where I can download the episode? I thought fox.com was allowing full episodes streaming, but I can't seem to find it anymore. And iTunes music store is down for the relaunch. Or can someone post a detailed description of the first 20 minutes up to the part where Michael and Lincoln were tied up by the prison guard.

Thanks.

You missed a kick-ass car chase. That's about it.

Question-- how did Fichtner figure out that Scofield had used Fibonacci to manipulate Stormare?
I guess Michael had it all on his hard drive. That's where the newspaper article that was on the board came from.
So let me see if I have this straight: Michael finds an article about Fibonacci, circles Fibonacci's name, scans the article with the circled name, and saves it to his hard drive? OK ...

Well, that college girl is not much to look at either. So it's even.

I thought the same thing. I expected to see Judging Amy waiting by a car while uber G-man took off after Abruzzi. Hard to avoid the connection too when Fichtner was Van Zant. "What am I doing? I'm talking to an empty telephone."

I am actually embarrassed that I watch this show. There's something fun and silly about watching 24, but this one's really, really bad, and I just feel dumber after watching it.

After watching this show all of last season, there's no way I'm quitting this show now. But I have to agree with most of you that the quality of the show's writing has gone down even from last season.

Tweener's face is ai'ight, but he did have quite a nice body in that towel scene.

Not that I think that matters to most women. But she seems like she is looking to go Girls Gone Wild and she probably is looking for a bad boy to bring it out of her.

Or, he has the article on his hard drive, the FBI finds the hard drive, prints the article, and an agent circles the name.

But her acting / the writing was so bad that that wasn't the vibe we were all getting, until she was downing a bottle of tekillya.
