Back in Season 1, when Bellick resumed the death sentence of Lincoln, I thought he was really evil instead of merely being a prison guard stereotype. A prison guard is prone to abuse of power, according to The Lucifer Effect. However, actively helping the excecution of another human being is just not acceptable in my opinion.
Here in this episode, Bellick sacrificed himself to ensure their plan was properly carried out. Because of the prejudice built during the first three seasons, I found it difficult to see Bellick work with the others at first.
What Bellick did in this episode was quite surprising but not so unnatural. Bellick had experienced a dramatic change of role, from a guard to prisoner, and persecution in Sona. In this episode, he showed sympathy for Lincoln and his dialogue suggested a happy childhood. Maybe Bellick is good under the bottom of his heart and completely different from convicts like T-Bag.
In Prison Break, those characters were constantly exposed to high stress and often behaved irrationally and unpredictable, making the plot intense and enjoyable. However, a plot that was too unexpected could feel unreal. Except for the last few episode in Season 2, the writers did an excellent job.
