Another great episode of Prison Break tonight, one that managed to touch on every single running plot the show has right now.
C-Note was brought to where Mahone would inevitably take him, and far sooner than I know I'd expected. I suppose it's possible that his suicide attempt failed for some reason, and he might still be around, but that seems an unlikely stretch.
Paul Kellerman appears to be on a path to assassinating the president who spurned him. If he's successful, then the show's creators won't really need to worry anymore about sharing Patricia Wettig with Brothers & Sisters. On the other hand, in the world of the show, Linc and Michael will once again be completely screwed.
Speaking of Linc and Michael, a fun cloak and dagger plot for them tonight, which even had a reappearance of LJ. And finally LJ showed some of the smarts he rarely did in most his time on the show -- he's smart enough to know not to get caught up in his father's troubles again.
Mahone's incredible powers of deduction have now not only got him almost literally banging on the brothers' door, but he has now realized that Lincoln truly is innocent. Of course, he seems to be able to set aside any ethical conflict in the service of his job, but his interactions with C-Note tonight clearly showed the conflict is there. Is he going to behave differently if he catches up with the brothers again?
Bellick is back in action as the "junkyard" dog hunting down another convict, and as always, great fun in the role. Sucre's newfound domestic bliss isn't going to last for long.
And finally, there was T-Bag, murdering another man for his identity to slip off to Thailand. I'm not sure how I'd feel about checking my luggage on a flight like that, never mind a glorified duffel bag with that kind of cash in it. But how perfect was it that he and Bellick were on the same flight? Almost Lost-like, in the serendipity of the characters almost interacting.

Incredible episode. The bit with C-Note actually had me in tears. I guess having three girls does that to you.
And, paradoxally enough, now that the show's gotten that good again, I really hope there won't be a third season. I'd like it to go out at the top. Not like 24... where I fell asleep through the last episode. Shows how "exciting" the show has managed to remain...
