As for Alex's wife, his explanation of it was plausible enough for me.

Because HE is one of the five with the cards. I'm hoping Self has to go rogue himself, having to hide their operation's continuing. Now that he realizes what he is trying to do to the Company is THAT CLOSE to him, he will have to be less cavalier and more stealthy and trusting of the convicts.
So I think we can all agree that:
Michael rapaport sucks
The hitman scenes are pretty dull so far
Prison break kicks ass!!!!!!

I said that to my wife .. How convenient it was that the place he wanted them to drop off the package was the same place they were going. But if they were back at the warehouse, then that would be tremdeously stupid as it now puts yet another person (that knows where they are) in harm's way.

Rappaport. He always plays some douche bag character for the most part, and his role doesn't seem to ever change, nor his acting. He still amuses me for some reason.
Anyone else seem to think that this hour of TV goes by waaaay to quickly?

I agree that was the fastest 1 hour of TV last night. Some of the episodes last season at Sona dragged, but things have improved this season.

That said, I wasn't sure I'd watch this season. I enjoyed season 1, keep waiting for season 2 to get good, thought season 3 was some of the worst TV I'd ever seen and only watched out of boredom. But I'm really digging this season.

Yeah, Rapaport acts exactly the same in every role, but there is something amusing and likable about ol' Dick Ritchie, so I do kind of enjoy him here, even though a part of me is annoyed by him. Loved it at the end when his boss is all "When they bury you, I'll be the first one with a shovel!!!!" In his most menacing tone, and Rapaport says "Great, I'll see you then." -- his delivery was really funny.
As for Mahone and the envelope, I think that was supposed to be some OTHER construction-looking site. I blame the location scouts or something.
I must say that I wasn't expecting so much praise for this season when I entered this thread. I'll probably keep watching, but I find this the least compelling the show has ever been. Even the manhunt in season two started off with more tension than this. I don't know if it was the shift to LA or what, but everyone just seems too relaxed. It helps me to think of this as a different show, like a Mission: Impossible or something.
I can't believe I'm saying this, but I can't wait for Gretchen to come back.

What the HELL is up with these clear dry-erase boards? The gang was using one in this episode, and when you were looking at it from their perspective, you couldn't read a damn thing on it. What is the point of them?
I'm glad they got a new opening. After just the title card last week, I was afraid they'd done away with it.

And just how would that be different from half of the other nonsense this show constantly feeds us? If Michael can have his tattoos removed overnight, then it's perfectly reasonable that his boss could be a card holder. It makes perfect "Prison Break Sense".

They might move at pace faster and more ridiculous than 24 but to say the boss is part of the company is completely retarded. Then there is no point for the company to look for Michael and Linc. They would know about the team's location and are after the cards, which the company has no clue about.
And since you seem to be sarcasm-impaired, I'd just like to point out that I'm joking. Although I wouldn't put it past them to give it their best shot.

I'm with everyone who thought this episode moved along at a fast pace. I'm liking this season much better than last already.
And yeah, Rappaport is annoying, as always.
The hitman character is pretty badass.
Teabag is always fun to watch.
Lincoln with the ax had me rolling.
