Previously this season on Prison Break: Michael learned that the One World Conspiracy threw him into prison just so he could break out again with some guy named Whistler. To motivate him, the One World Conspiracy kidnapped Dr. Sara and L.J., and assigned a PTSD-addled mercenary as their minder. We're introduced to her as "Susan B. Anthony," but her real name may be Gretchen. The unpredictable Susan B. is Linc's contact on the outside, and when he nearly succeeds in breaking out her hostages, she retaliates by beheading Dr. Sara. Eventually, Linc breaks the news to Michael, and Michael manages to multitask, working his displays of grief into his first escape attempt. Note how I wrote "attempt." The One World Conspiracy gets impatient, so they just decide to send in a lot of helicopters and guns, thereby raising the question, "If you could do this all along, what made you think it was a good idea to make a petulant genius with a huge hate-on for you do the job?" and the ancillary question, "If this is indicative of the brains behind the One World Conspiracy, how have they managed to stay number one? Is there a Number Two World Conspiracy that tries harder? Can we see them?" These, along with other questions like, "So who is the president of the United States at this point?" "How has T-Bag managed to stay alive?" and "Was it really necessary to make Mahone chase the dragon?", remain unanswered. Anyway, in the final pre-break episode, Michael manages to ruin Whistler's chances for escape but somehow the whole thing gets pinned on him, thanks to his whole breaking-out-of-prison reputation. And before Michael can even protest, "Do you see any helicopters in these tattoos?" (Answer: No. Because we haven't seen any tattoo action this season either) he's frog-marched out of Sona's courtyard.

And now...Michael is still being marched out of the courtyard. The inmates have all rushed to the windows so they might watch him go. Whistler is still shirtless. I note this with approval, by the way.

Anyway, Michael eventually makes his way into the guards' office and the new guy in charge wants some alone time with him. General Zavala introduces himself as the successor to Il Douche, and orders Michael to sit. He does offer him some water, which is hospitable. As Michael sits, he says, "With all due respect, General, I had nothing to do with what happened here today." He does not add, "My escape attempts are typically less flashy and far more dependent on a complex web of perilous contingencies." Zavala responds, "I always conduct a thorough investigation, and there are too many unanswered questions here. It is my job to find those answers." Oooh, I hope his unanswered questions are the same as my unanswered questions!
