“Quiet Riot” is an episode much different from most of the Prison Break episodes. Typically, the episodes are full of plenty of action, but this episode had a much slower pace. And this isn’t necessarily a bad thing, mind you.
Last week’s episode let it be known that Michael would be having surgery very soon, but this obviously interferes with everyone else’s plans of getting to Scylla. I wasn’t surprised when Michael ultimately pulled out of the arrangements for surgery, though I did like his mention of calling in sick, when talking to Sara about the situation.

The team got valuable video footage of the Scylla complex, making their break-in look relatively routine. What I liked most about those break-in scenes was the fact that there was little to no noise. So much of this show is all about guns going off, tires screeching, characters yelling at one another, etc. It’s a very nice change for once. It was a very peaceful, albeit tense episode.
I wasn’t entirely sure how T-Bag was going to handle his receptionist, but he and Gretchen pulled a fast one on her and Don Self. They had to get the buyer to help out with their plan, but it seemed to go very well. They’re out of the way for now, but I hope neither of them gets killed just yet.
The intensity of the episode was great. I really enjoyed this episode. My biggest complaint is with Gretchen’s lame attempt at getting the general’s card. My gosh. It’s hard to believe that the general would actually fall for that. It makes Gretchen out to look rather dumb in my opinion. It’s not a move characteristic of the Gretchen we all know. Still, I like the way Prison Break is going.
