8.8/10

Best episode of the season so far. The tension was unreal from start to finish, and I was on edge the whole way through. The build-up to the escape was incredible, but once they were actually on that yellow raft, I could feel my heart racing. Every second felt like it could go wrong, making this one of the most nerve-wracking escape sequences in the show.

Michael setting up T-Bag, Lechero, and Bellick was such a smart move. It gave him and the others a clean shot at escaping while keeping the chaos behind them. I felt bad for Lechero and Bellick, though—two of the best characters this season, and they just got left behind. Hopefully, this isn’t the last we see of them.

Sucre being detained the entire episode had me so stressed. He was such a crucial part of the plan, and they just kept dragging out his release. It was agonizing watching him get so close to being freed, only for something to delay it again. Thankfully, Luis’ dad came through and saved them from drowning, but just when you think Sucre might finally be safe, T-Bag has to go and snitch on him. Now that the authorities know his identity, I’m really worried for him.

The finale is shaping up to be terrifying. Sucre’s identity is exposed, Whistler is out of Michael’s control, and Susan is waiting for an exchange that Michael can’t make. I have no idea how this is going to play out, but I can already tell it’s going to be intense.
