Goofs:

Factual errors: When Lincoln is dreaming about when his dad took him to see the Cubs play at Wrigley Field, his dad tells him to focus on his favorite player, a pitcher. In his dream, Lincoln recalls seeing the player's name on the back of the jersey. Cubs Home Uniforms did not have last names on the backs of their jerseys until 1992.

Quotes:

Captain Brad Bellick: So you go so sick of Scofield's smart mouth, that you decided to deep fry him, is that it?

The Exhumation and the Lost Blueprint

The execution of Lincoln is delayed for two weeks because Judge Kessler anonymously receives new evidences about the case while Lincoln glances to his father in the observation room. Judge Kessler orders the exhumation of the remains of Terrance Steadman based on two different records about a removed appendix. Lincoln asks the name of the man in the room to Warden Pope and he tells that he is the journalist William Prall, from the Headline Press. Michael plots another escape plan through the asylum using the blueprint tattooed on his body. He borrows a guard's uniform from Sucre's cousin that works in the laundry to check his plan, but her burns his body on the steam piping; after a medical intervention, Michael finds that the part of the map with the escape route through the asylum is missing on his burnt back.

This episode is only reasonable when compared with the previous ones. Steadman's dental record was changed and the coroner goes nowhere with the exhumation. Michael will have unexpected problems with his new plan. The appearance of the missing father of Lincoln and Michael is the new mystery. My vote is seven.
