You can always expect plenty of action on this show. The writers and directors used on Prison Break have done a very nice job with making sure viewers don’t get bored for too long while watching Michael and company pull off the ridiculous and the absurd every week.

This week, the guys are reeling from the realization that Scylla isn’t just one card, but six. Agent Don Self is shocked to learn of this, but he makes sure Michael and his group know that they need to keep at the task at hand or they’ll find their way back inside Fox River.

With one day to find the next card, all eyes are on Roland, who is played by James Hiroyuki Liao. Roland managed to get a lot of data from the PDA which was in the home he and the gang managed to sneak Roland’s device into and they managed to get emails and appointment data from the PDA onto the device. Unfortunately, Roland’s device ran out of hard drive space to grab everything, but he’s able to get some clues as to where the next Scylla meeting is. But it’s not quite enough. The guys need to get into a local data center in order to retrieve two critical emails.

The way that went down was a little crazy. It’s nice that the security guard noticed his badge was missing, but he should have been smart enough to keep it on his person and call in other security guards as soon as he grabbed Sara. Telling her to stay in one place and expecting her to obey was laughable.

But everything seemed to work out for the most part. Michael and company managed to get to the meeting point, though they had some issues when the program was shut down, but saved at the last minute by a call Agent Don Self made to a senator. That call put him on the outs with the director, but it’s good to see he’s willing to fight for these guys and is still determined to put the company out of business.

Sucre and Brad Bellick had an interesting, albeit short discussion while doing a stakeout. Bellick’s ready to give up and run for the border, while Sucre’s determined to see this thing through, all because of his daughter. Perhaps it’s just me, but the last time he got close to her, Sucre got set up. Despite his love for his daughter, I’d be hard pressed to trust the mother at this point in time.

There was a lot going on here beside the typical mission Michael, Lincoln, etc are on. T-Bag’s getting back into the swing of things, trying to net himself some quick cash, though that doesn’t seem likely judging by the teaser for next week’s episode. The scenes with Wyatt and Sara’s father went on far too long. Boring, tedious, and simply not necessary, a few of these scenes could have been cut out and left for the DVD box set.
