When Lechero heads in, Magdalene's put the habit back on, and she's walking out very nervously. Lechero tries to comfort her -- a little bit late for that, if you ask me -- and that's how he discovers the real reason she's nervous: Magdalene's tried to pocket a little cash from the box in the drawer. T-Bag immediately rushes in and says, "Patron, I gave her the money. I was going to replace it myself at-at-at the end of the day, when I get my cut. I just didn't get a chance to tell you yet. She had no money to get home." Lechero asks Magdalene if this is true, and the lady lies like a champ. T-Bag leans in and presses, "With all due respect, surely you don't want your mistress traveling broke? She'd end up in a taxi with no way to pay the cab fare." Lechero asks, "You did this for me?" T-Bag babbles that he did and Lechero says quietly, "Teodoro...the one who does all the useful things for me. Huh? And now you do the thinking for me." T-Bag barely has time to protest before Lechero's laid him out on the floor. As Lechero orders, "Get a bucket. Wash my feet," we see him push Magdalene into the room in front of him, and T-Bag walks off in the opposite direction, retching from the blow to the stomach. Back in the shadows, Sammy watches silently.
We then cut to the front of Michael's cell, where he's still having a quiet meltdown. Whistler strides up, all business, and asks what they do now. The two then descend into another round of bickering and yeah, yeah, they don't know each other, they don't trust each other, they're at the mercy of the One World Conspiracy. Whistler finally says, "If you can't get me out of here, tell me now. Because time's running out." As he stomps off, Michael just looks all sad, instead of snapping, "If you've got a Plan B, feel free to bring it out at any time."
Linc finally takes a break from digging and collapses backward. Sofia irritably tosses him a bottle of water. Linc tells her, "You know, my brother and I wanted to come down here to Panama and start a dive shop, like the one we were at today. My boy was going to leave school and come down, help start the family business." Sofia figures they can go that once "this is all over." Linc mutters, "Too much bad stuff's happened." Yeah -- can you imagine the atmosphere around the dive shop? Michael would be all, "Linc, did you remember to fill those tanks?" and Linc would reply, "Didn't I tell you I did?" and then Michael would flash him the Blue Steel and go, "Yeah...you told me like you told me Sara was dead!" And then it would be so tense, all the potential customers would find excuses for leaving. Anyway, back in the episode that is actually taking place, Linc shows Sofia the equipment he bought (and is burying) and he says, "Our getaway vehicle." Smart! He then orders Sofia, "Next time you see Whistler, I want you to tell him what you saw. Tell him we're all in this together. We're part of a team. You understand?" Sofia is a little baffled at this change in attitude, but she'll go along with it. She also goes along with Linc's orders to walk through the woods as opposed to back down the shoreline. Next thing you know, they're practically on top of Sona. Linc says, "If all goes well, we'll see them tomorrow." And that is when I pause and laugh and laugh and laugh, because...hello, Linc. Where have you been for the past two seasons and change? "If all goes well," indeed.
