The rate in which Michael Scofield and company are acquiring the Scylla cards is impressive. One a week is great because it’s going to be very difficult to get the one the General is carrying. Speaking of the General, he made a somewhat rare appearance in “Safe and Sound”, trying to sure up the safety of those Scylla cards.

I almost didn’t think the guys were going to get into that office. By the sounds of it, it was going to be impossible, but it ended up being rather easy. Sure, Bellick and Sucre had to play janitor, but that didn’t prove too difficult to manage.

Over the past few weeks, Scofield has been shown with a bloody nose and it’s difficult not to mention it. His brother, Lincoln, saw it and asked him about it. I don’t recall Michael’s health ever really coming up, so I’m wondering what he had as a kid is afflicting him now.

One of the things I was looking forward to this week thanks to the teaser at the end of last week’s episode was Sara running to the docks and getting Mahone’s help. It was an exciting, albeit short chase scene between Wyatt and Sara, but I liked seeing Mahone revert to his cop instincts in his attempts to track down Wyatt. He’s closing in on him, and I’m rooting for Mahone.

While Agent Don Self told lie after lie to get Michael and company into the building, he took one step too far in getting some image enhancements done on the General. Now Self is on the General’s radar. Sure it was bound to happen, but it just seems an episode or two too early.

As for next week, well, I can’t wait to see what Gretchen does now that she’s out of her cell. The same goes for T-Bag and his issues as Cole Pfeiffer. He needs to deliver Scylla or he’s dead. And then he also has a deal with the secretary, which I knew would happen. There was something about her that told me she wasn’t just a simple, innocent secretary. She’s proven to be greedy, though I’m looking forward to seeing how all of this will play out.
