Trying to Fill the Blanks

Michael is interned in the asylum to get close to Haywire and to try to fill the blanks in the map; however Haywire in the beginning does not recall Michael, but when Michael forces him to vomit the pills calling them invisible handcuffs, he recalls everything. Meanwhile Geary sells Michael's cell to an inmate for US$ 200.00; C- Note offers US$ 500.00 and together with T-Bag, they gamble in a poker game to raise the money. In the last moment, Geary raises the amount to US$ 700.00 but he betrays C-Note does not transfer him to the cell, keeping his money and DB's watch. LJ calls Lincoln, and Veronica uses a petition to permit Lincoln to see his son. Trixie fires Kellerman from the Secret Service, but he is supported by the Vice-President. While seeking a charger for Quinn's cell phone, Nick is pressed by a man to give information about Veronica. Michael is forced to give a name to Pope, and Michael gives the name of Geary. The petition works and Lincoln can see his son; while traveling in a van with escorted by armed guards, they are hit by a large towing truck.

In this great episode, Michael succeeds in completing the map using Haywire and accuses Gegary. The despicable Geary is expelled from Fox River by Warden Pope. Why Nick is close to Veronica is not clear yet. The dispute between the Vice-President and the Secret Service will certainly produce lots of conspiracies and betrayals. My vote is nine.
