Its amazing that PRISON BREAK requires more logical leaps of faith than the show on NBC where PEOPLE GET SUPERPOWERS!!!!!!!!!!!

Damn, you guys are way too critical. We all know at this point that we need to suspend some belief when watching. I thought the episode was great and I love watching this show every week.

I think this show is part of a great practical joke by the writers' guild where each week, a different writer is drawn from a hat and assigned to write an episode. Each person tries to make his or her episode so ridiculous that the next guy can't possibly top it.

I think the problem is that in the prison, they could do rediculous stuff, but because we've never been in prison, we dont realize quite how rediculous it was.
Now that they are in the real world, some place we know a thing or two about, we realize how stupid things can be.

T-Bag standing with the screwdriver behind the lady in the garage with a smile on his face while Michael was talking was also funny.

If convicts had been watching the first season, they probably would have laughed their asses off.

I'd love to know what they're actually going to do with that money once they have it. Does Michael have the name of a really, really good money launderer that he can pull out of his ass tattoo? Spending that money would create an easy to follow trail right to them, which might not be the wisest thing in the history of the world if you have an evil corporation after your ass.

They cut the power to the lady's house, then rang the doorbell, which worked.

I think the show would have been much better served without this money line subplot, or they should have let westmoreland live, and he and only the two bros are the only ones to chase the money. Then the Bothers flee to Mexico, Westmoreland vists his dying daughter etc.. then the bros get caught up returning for Burrows son and Michael's doctor lady.
I would have much rather seen these other guys assimilate back into society and see if they can keep the deep cover. I was fully expecting T-bag to visit his old lady and seek some payback vengence, and we could have used a few eps on the whole Mob thing, there was plenty to mine there.
Having them all chase the money and wind up in this garage together, is absolutely ludicrous, and it does not pass the Jack Bauer sniff test, the show in which all shows must measure leaps of faith.
oh and don't get me started on the Superman FBI Agent, this guys is everywhere instantly.

Next week:
Haywire rides his bicycle to Utah in one day towing a bloody, but still-living Abruzzi on roller skates. Both join the remaining escapees and demand thier cut, though Haywire demands to be paid in soft serve ice cream.
