You know, just when I think Prison Break can’t make anymore twists, turns, or veers, it goes in the completely opposite direction.  Last nights two hours were no exception.  (THANK YOU FOX for giving us our Prison Break fix!!!) 

Alright, I knew their escape plan was going to be foiled.  But I thought this was going to be because Michael had challenged Whistler to fight.  I should have known that Michael would never willingly put himself in a position to have to kill someone.  But then we found out that Michael was just using it as a ruse to get the other prisoners to gather in the courtyard.  So, they then try to escape and it failed, just like what I’d been reading said.  When they had to climb back up the makeshift ladder and back into the prison, I wasn’t too surprised.  I was then able to guess that the failed escape attempt (the ladder falling out the window) saved them from having to fight.  So, yippe yeah, right?  First attempt, failed, checked off.

Next, though, the head guy, LeChero (or however you spell it) wanting to go with Michael when he escapes.  I didn’t guess it, but it’s not totally unexpected.  Michael had everybody and their dog wanting to go with him when he got out of Fox River.  The twist, though, that I never saw coming, is that Whistler is orchestrating it all!!!  He got Susan B. Anthony (or as we now know, Gretchen) to get to Lincoln, by kidnapping LJ.  He got the brothers to get him out of hiding.  He’s been doing the whole thing.  We always knew that someone was Susan B. Anthony’s boss, but hello???  Whistler?  I always thought it was "The Company".  So maybe Whistler works for "The Company", but I’m just baffled.  How are the writers (if they decide to continue writing) going to be able to explain this???

We’ll have to find out.
