How this happened, why T-Bag decided to trust a villain he’s never even met, or how he got The General’s cell-phone number are questions you’ll just have to answer yourself. But it’s very difficult to believe in this new set-up, particularly once a clean-shaven T-Bag reveals he’s in cahoots with The General and is keeping him informed of developments. Half the episode is taken up with Team Linc, trying to trace the mysterious Carruth before Scylla is lost to them forever. Roger Knowlton (John Getz), who has some surprising news for Michael regarding his long-dead mother and The Company’s true motives. Here, he faces psychological turmoil from enigmatic shrink Dr. Add to that the question: why would The General entrust Scylla’s safe return to the people responsible for stealing, selling and losing it in the first place!Įlsewhere, Michael wakes up after his brain op, like Patrick McGoohan from The Prisoner, transported to the Prison Break version of The Village (a remote cabin, 60 miles from the nearest town). All of them are liars with shaky morals and questionable ethics, so quite why they’d agree to help The Company is anyone’s guess. Inexplicably, The General thinks that Linc should lead a team to track down Scylla’s thief, Scott Carruth (Titus Welliver) a group that includes the two people who made the botched exchange in the first place (Gretchen and Don) and regular third-wheel T-Bag. Yeah, he hasn’t learned anything from past events, and thus proves he’s as dumb as he looks… Linc is now working for The General, having agreed to retrieve Scylla as payment for The Company’s life-saving operation to remove his brother Michael’s brain tumour, on the understanding they’ll all be left alone when Scylla is back safe and sound. “The Sunshine State” scores points for narrative momentum, now that it’s decided on its new direction, but loses them entirely for concocting such a ridiculous, improbable gambit… Cynics might say that’s been the case since Michael Scofield scaled Fox River’s wall back in season 1.
Season 4 Episode 16: “The Sunshine State”Broadcast on Sky One, Tuesday December 23rd, 2008 As premiered on Season 1-3 Boxset:īy rights, the mid-season finale should have been “Selfless”, as Prison Break has awkwardly plodded on past that ideal twist-ending, trying to sculpt a half-baked reason to justify its existence. uk – Prison Break Season 4 review by Dan Owen Dan Owen reviews
