The New Boss

The corrupt Captain Bellick complains with John Abruzzi that his "perquisite" has not been deposit in his bank account. Abruzzi discovers that Philly Falzone, upset for not receiving news about Fibonacci, has stolen all the money that belongs also to him from his bank account using a letter of attorney and he loses his privileges in prison. Lincoln is mad with the situation of LJ, trying to contact him. Seth unsuccessfully asks for help to Michael and without any hope, he commits suicide. Dr. Sara Tancredi discovers that Michael was under psychological treatment and his shrink tells her that he is a creative genius with no sense of self-worth and also a rescuer. LJ succeeds in contacting Veronica and Nick, but his cell phone is bugged. Veronica lures the secret service agents asking Michael to travel to Lake Mercer, near Iowa, while he actually goes to New Glarus.

In this great episode, the personality of Michael is disclosed a little further with the investigation of Sara, and he feels uncomfortable with the suicide of Seth. The teenager LJ finally gets the necessary help and Veronica and Nick find that many people wanted Steadman dead. In prison, the escape plan moves backwards with Abruzzi losing his P.I. privileges and his partners stopping the services in the storage room. My vote is nine.
