The New Boss
claudio_carvalho29 September 2008
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.

Just a regular tweener....

Warning: Spoilers
Episode 9 of what was now becoming an extremely popular TV series introduces another character to the season: David 'Tweener' Aploskis.

The part is played excellently by a very unknown actor, Lane Garrison. The 18 year old and clearly naive Apolskis enters Fox River putting on his 'prison face'. Oblivious to the racial tensions within Fox River and clearly having little knowledge about how he should behave in a prison. Apolskis' sharp attitude, and desire to integrate with the black inmates quickly fuel resentment towards him from both the black and white inmates.

Looking for fresh meat and a new boy to hold his pocket, T-Bag soon targets the confused and quickly isolated youngster giving him the nickname 'Tweener' and continues to pursue him with relentless sexual harassment. As Michael begins to feel a sense of responsibility to protect the boy from the ruthless T-Bag, he worries how to deal with him without risking him blowing the whistle on the escape plan. The part really is played wonderfully by Garrison as you see Tweener's confident and cocky exterior evident at the start of the episode broken down to the point where he's reduced to tears in his cell.

In the meantime: the other escapees continue ploughing through the hole in the guards break room but problems are inevitably set to ensue as Falzone begins to put pressure on Abruzzi for the location of Fibonacci; and Bellick is threatening to take away his P.I privileges altogether...

Warning: Spoilers
1.Why Seth Sucided attempt was not investigated ? and why his suicide process by hanging himself was not noticed by cellmates & stoped in first place. i guess the CCTV camera are term for dystopian future!!

2.Aburuzzi making his cell mate blind was also not questioned by polices !!
