The penultimate episode of thePrison Breakrevival featured the impossible: Mr.
Always Has a Plan got outplanned.
I mean, the kid is weirdly obsessed with Greek heroes, but cmon!

The result was a mixed bag, feeling both rushed and exactly what weve been waiting for.
Plus, T-Bag is back, and theres a T-Bag Jr.!
While the episode may end somewhere in upstate New York, the eighth episode begins somewhere in the Mediterranean.
First Greece, now France this has been a pretty solid vacay.
I own you Scofield, the villain declares.
I know everything about you.
Not the best way to motivate your employee.
(If hes taking suggestions, EW wins me over with free fruit in the lunch room.)
Enter Whip, a.k.a.
David Martin, who Michael believes can be easily manipulated since he has no family.
And that is what they call planting a seed, kids.
Back in the present, the fellas have made it ashore in Marseille.
Knowing this, Michael is in a rush to get back home.
Hes baiting you, Michael, Lincoln tells his brother, who responds, It worked.
He cant get there quickly enough; it seems Sara is trapped in the closet.Cue the R. Kelly soundtrack.
Lame Jacob is quick to criticize the size of the mast.
Calm down, man, its only a Lego treasure map.
Remember the knucklehead Lincoln was running from in the premiere because he owed him $100,000?
It was Luca Abruzzi, the son of Fox River 8 member and feared mobster John Abruzzi.
Luca eventually agrees, which is perfect timing since news of the guys being wanted has reached Marseille.
Jacob has called in his two lieutenants, Van Gogh and A&W, for a brainstorm session.
He wants to kill me, he reveals.
Thinks I stole his life.
I mean, hes not wrong.
Joining the team is Theroux, a.k.a the hacker who previously lied to Sara to cover for Jacob.
Hes been trying to decode the message Michael sent to Blue Hawaii.
As the boys head to catch their ride, Michael begins to move his pieces into motion.
Hes taken some for less, so it seems like a fair trade.
Security footage shows that the sting was a ruse.
Luca pledges to kill Lincoln, and he already has a plan for how to find him.
So, are we officially saying that anybody can just have a plan now?
Does Michael give his power to anyone he comes into contact with?
And now, he tells his partner hes done after this job.
Because the show is calledPrison Break!
Sheba, Michael, and Lincoln arrive at Saras dark-looking house.
This leads to a montage of Jacob discovering them in the mail and dumping the secret messages.
Add littering to the litany of charges against him.
Id like to see their chore chart.
Michael sends a text to Sara/Jacob, asking to meet tomorrow, and the response confirms shes alive.
And the endgame begins, announces Michael in an all-time classic go-to-commercial line.
Back from commercial, the endgame is truly beginning in Syracuse.
Jacob is barking orders to Van Gogh and A&W from a car near the agreed-upon meeting place.
Watching from high above, Michael sends Lincoln to follow.
Lincoln is reclined back in the passenger seat.
The duo eventually track Jacobs car to an alley.
This is a message, posits Michael, assuming MJ left it for him.
Its encoded in him.
Hes got my DNA.
Well then, better keep the kid away from the tattoo parlor.
Michaels insistence increases when he discovers that a nearby lake is designed just like the map.
Im trying to figure out if youve lost your mind or not, half-jokes Lincoln.
Sheba wont be allowed to come on this mission, as Lincoln kisses her when she tries to argue.
Considering Ive been predicting this for the whole season, this is a romance I could get behind.
Now, just two remain: The brothers are heading to save Sara and MJ.
God, Ive been thinking, because a hard bargains been presented to me, he passionately says.
If theres blood on my hands, know this, world: Itll be for love.
Damn, that disgusting criminal just tugged at my heartstrings.
Upon returning to shore, Whip is approached by none other than T-Bag.
kindly dont kill Whip; we all just started to like him.
The confrontation quickly escalates as the two psychos have their hands on each others necks.
T-Bag has a lot of info on Whip/David Martin, including some insight into why Michael recruited him.
Did you learn it, or was it ingrained in you?
It was ingrained in you, son.
You got it from me!
All right, that was a good twist.
So is Whips new nickname W-Bag?
Because that doesnt quite have the same ring to it.
Michael and Lincoln have made it to where Jacob is keeping Sara and MJ.
When Jacob heads out, Michael approaches the house, with his brother staying back as the lookout.
Michael goes in, even as Lincoln warns him that Jacob might be back.
But its not Jacob its Luca.
Meanwhile, inside, Michaels reunion with MJ takes a possibly deadly turn as well.
What did you think?
Were you surprised by the T-Bag and Whip reveal?
Who got shot at the end?
