While Linc and his new colleagues are in hot pursuit of Scylla in Miami, Michael is at a remote mountain cabin in California, where he learns something new about the Company. He's also guided through childhood memories by a Company psychiatrist (John Getz). Meanwhile, Sara is waiting for news of Michael in a luxury hotel, and she's not enjoying the luxury. Christina: Kathleen Quinlan.

Thanks for the new thread, Jen. Can't wait to see the episode and see why Sarah isn't enjoying the luxuries of the hotel

Well, that is after I catch up on all the other episodes but still love the promo vid too.

I wanted to watch this a second time before posting my recap.

I felt bad for Michael. Thankfully he doesn't trust the company nor want to join them. You can't fault the Company for trying to recruit him though they should know better by now. He was clearly rocked by the possibility that his mother is still alive. Loved the flashbacks of him as a child and when he used Draino (or whatever chemical that was) and the water heater to make the explosion.

Mahone's return and comic relief were wonderful. He tipped the scales back into Linc's favor and was there to keep Linc from finishing off Gretchen. I liked how he said he came back because Linc helped him so he owes him.

I really liked Self in this episode though I wish he were gone for good. The whole you're a whore, your mom was a whore, your dad turned tricks at the gas station speech to Gretchen has to be one of the funniest moments in PB history. So over the top and so something he would say at the wrong time no less.

T-Bag showing remorse again? Not only for Gretchen but for Emily too. Thought that was strange on the heels of his betrayal on Sara and Linc's phone call.

Seems the General has deals with everyone. Though you know he's not going to keep any of them. So why the hell does Linc (or Mahone, Gretchen, Self, T-Bag) think he'll give them freedom with the return of Sylla? Once they get their hands on it couldn't they just go public and let things settle that way? We know there is corruption all through the government but isn't one of the Companies fears that Sylla would go public?

I wish they were final in what they wanted to do with Gretchen. I don't like they left the door open for her return. It seems impossible that she could survive a gun shot to the stomach before medical help got there. But they hinted that she would wind up in jail. Surely the General will have her killed if she's there. Why chance her escaping, plotting, or talking?

Though we didn't have many MiSa scenes I really enjoyed Sara in this episode. It was useless but I didn't fault her for trying to plead with the General in helping with Michael's rehab. She was frustrated with Linc on the phone. I loved that she admitted she didn't have a plan but she wasn't going to sit around and wait for Linc to do something. Loved her scene with Lisa. She not only looked wary but a little afraid too. Absolutely loved when she rammed her jeep into the ATV. Just enough to knock it off the road but not put the jeep out of use.

I don't know what to think about Mama Scofield being alive. I love Kathleen Quinlan so it's going to be hard not to like her character for that reason alone. I guess wait until we hear her side. Everything we've heard is the brothers memories and what the Company wants us to believe.

I re-watched this episode this past week, when it aired on TV.

It was good seeing it again.

I didn't like that Sara had to go and offer her services to the general, in regards in getting access to Michael. And i bet she hated it.
She was just not comfortable at that hotel, not knowing what happened to Michael.

I liked it when Lisa gave her the directions to the place where he was being held, and she crashed into the cart. Even though Michael had plans to escape as it is.

So looks like they will be on the run, after the hiatus. Which is good for us M/S fans. More one on one time. Which has been lacked IMO

I didn't like her having to go to the General and offering her services in helping with Michael's rehab either. You could see she was trying not to choke on the words and hold back from jumping over his table and strangling him.
