US, February 15, 2008 - The writers' strike may have cut this season of Prison Break short, but it didn't come at the expense of exciting storytelling. Most of you are probably concerned that this unintended early stop might result in an awkward or an unsatisfying ending. While it's pretty obvious that there is a lot more story to tell in the Panamanian prison setting, the episode does manage give enough closure to make it feel like it satisfactorily completes a chapter. As with the previous episode, there's a well edited montage of scenes to show where all the key players are at the end of the episode, and there's more than enough fascinating material to leave you wanting more content soon.
The central focus in this episode is on the long awaited "hostage" exchange between the brothers and Gretchen for LJ and Sofia in exchange for Whistler. It's always fun to see Scofield's plans unfold, and everything from the location and circumstances of the exchange are well thought out. As usual, there's always a few strings attached with any development on Prison Break, especially regarding Whistler. That character's interests and motivations were never really made clear. We learn a bit more about what he wants and whose side he's really on, but every answer we seem to learn about Whistler tends to lead to a slew of new questions.
By now, you probably know that not all of the escapees make it out of Sona, and we get to learn what happens to them inside. If the Sona environment felt like a slightly chaotic schoolyard before, by the end of this episode the prison situation changes drastically – and certainly not in a positive manner.
The writers cleverly made a nice Sara reference that leads to a new sense of purpose for Michael. Now that he's out, he needs a new challenge, and revenge is as good a motivator as any. We get the feeling that it's Scofield on his own, trying to bring down Gretchen, her cronies, and the Company. The help drive the direction of the future storyline even further, we finally do learn about what's in Whistler's briefcase, and it serves as a great lead-in for this forthcoming vengeance driven chapter.
Keep in mind that there's still one important piece that's important to the Company that remains in Sona – Whistler's bird book. While we know that it contains a set of coordinates, there's obviously more to it, and T-Bag's the one who's got it. This detail allows Sona and the inmates to remain tied into what's going on outside of the prison walls.
There are a few shocking revelations that definitely add to the significance of the episode. We witness a couple of unexpected turns for some of the key characters, and what should hopefully be a graceful happy exit for at least one character (like C-Note had in the previous season).
Taking into consideration the fact that the season was forced to end early, this finale plays out remarkably well. There's much more story to tell, but for now, at least one more chapter of the Lincoln and Scofield saga can be closed properly. Nevertheless, a fourth season of this series is highly anticipated, and hopefully will come soon.
