Storyline

Michael is able to obtain some of the supplies he needs: a pair of chemicals that when combined produce a powerful corrosive. What he lacks, however, is a cell-mate he can trust to let him do his work. Haywire has become obsessed with Michael's tattoos and comes dangerously close to realizing their meaning, so Michael uses this to his advantage to provoke a confrontation and get his room-mate removed. At the same time, Sucre learns that his rival, Hector, has been feeding a line to Maricruz to get her away from her fiancé and into his bed. Sucre realizes that he needs to get back with Michael so he can get out as quickly as possible before he loses her forever. Veronica enlists the help of a specialist in death-penalty cases who agrees to re-examine Lincoln's case, but even he isn't hopeful. Meanwhile, the people who want to see Lincoln executed as quickly as possible do some snooping around Veronica's home and learn of the connection between Lincoln and Michael.

A Maze on the Skin

Michael foresees the menace of Haywire to his plan: his distrustful cell-mate does not sleep and is obsessed with his tattoos. Meanwhile he obtains two chemicals to corrode the sewer in the infirmary. Sucre discovers that Hector plans to "steal" Maricruz from him and tells Michael that he is in the scheme for escaping. Veronica tells Lincoln that she is his new lawyer and seeks help with some specialists in cases of death-penalty while Paul Kellerman snoops her home and finds the connection between Michael and Lincoln.

In "Cute Poison", Michael gets rid off Haywire and Sucre is back to his cell. However, there is a bigger scheme running outside Fox River State Penitentiary by The Powers That Be. Veronica is getting involved and threatened by the shadowed Paul Kellerman. My vote is eight.
