Yes, he took a deal so he could serve his time at Fox River. The ridiculous part isn't that he took a deal (though that's pretty funny -- why do that when you're clearly innocent?) -- it's that they had him back at Fox River in the time it took to transport our main characters through that tunnel.

Bellick's subplot was the only thing vaguely interesting in last night's episode for me. The rest of 'em...meh.

I agree. I was more interested in Bellick's storyline.

I'm not even sure what T-bag was doing. He came back to just play house with the family, or was he actually coming back to murder/rape/kill the wife and/or family? I'm confused.

I'm just waiting for the reveal that this wasn't really the President's brother, either.

Yep. I was actually being half serious. It wouldn't shock me at all for them to reintroduce that guy and put the President's brother subplot back into play.

There's 8 more weeks left and most likely a 3rd season as well. I get a sense the writers are really stretching it.

I did hear Patricia Wettig (President Reynolds) will be back at some point in the next 8 weeks. I heard she recorded some voice overs during some free time from Brothers and Sisters.

Were all the "TopBunk" references a shout-out to DVDTalk?

Also, I'm not buying that Fisty McRapesalot suddenly became Bellick's bitch.

The long break made it really hard for me to get back into this too. Mistake on Fox's part.

Saw the suicide a mile away.

Woman should've pulled out that huge gun and shot T-Bag when she had the chance...

But I do like the brothers teamed up with bad guy. He's a good character...

Glad the blond guy is in the FBI guy's trunk.

I had the same exact thought last night. The Nine's demise provides Prison Break writers with plot-twist gold.

Damn...I thought this was a great episode. But I will admit the Bellick angle was the most interesting by far.

I too seem to have less interest in this show, every single time it returns from a "break". Last night's episode (aside from Bellick's jail tales of course) was equal to paint drying. Really stupid paint.

Since it's been picked up for another season, what are the chances that Michael gets caught and sent back to Fox River, where he helps Bellick escape? (Man that was one big run on sentence)

The guy who played Terrence Steadman in season one (except for in the security cam video in episode 1.2). Counting the security video in 1.2, three different people have played Steadman.

But the guy in the security video was a dead hobo or something, not Steadman.

By the way, there was a huge discussion about how they'd never be able to prove Steadman's identity. How about comparing his DNA to the president? Durr...

So Westmoreland's cat didn't actually die? It was actually taken to live with the VP's brother at some point? Wow, I must have missed that episode.

Duck down, the cop at this roadblock will never be able to see your head in my lap through the driver's side window.

So why didn't he know who he was?

I really miss that show.

I assume if the President was ordered by a court to submit a DNA sample that somehow the results would come back proving they aren't related. The samples would be switched or something along those lines. Although it would have been nice if the writers would have mentioned this in the episode.

The plot has gotten so convoluted now yet I still watch.

Spoiler:
Sarah Wayne Callies who plays Dr. Sara Tancredi is pregnant in real life. I wonder if this will affect her character if there is a third season as has been talked about?

They should have resolved C-Note storyline in this episode instead. It's boring me to tears.

With the exception of Billick storyline, everything else was tedious.
BTW, where is Sucre and Haywire?

Not that is important but his last name is Kim.
