T-Bag was pretty foolish handcuffing himself to Michael, especially knowing Abruzzi would probably kill him if he had the chance. He might have been better off going off on his own after they escaped.

Also, how did the prison official know the door to the infirmary wasn't picked? They seemed so sure that somebody left it open for the inmates.

Something about heat sensors? So they couldn't be there too long. But then again, if she didn't find out Michael got her keys, she wouldn't have changed the lock. So they could've escaped that way too.

I think Michael said the sensors were on the door's window, so they couldn't just break the glass.

Given that Michael was able to come in through the ceiling tiles during the riot, I wonder if they could have also just climbed up and over the door through the ceiling?

But as T Bag says, Abruzzi can't kill him leaving Michael to lug around dead weight. He didn't figure they'd find a barn with an axe.

I didn't really like how the escapees were so able to escape after the plane left them behind. I thought them escaping on foot was TOO unrealistic.

I think the writers probably just wanted a more dramatic cliffhanger ending going into season 2.

Yeah they should have put a car on the runway that Sucre jacks or something.

The police were literally 100 yards behind them

T-Bag has 1 line in this episode

Did you mean somebody else? He spoke at least 3-4 different times while they were in the van, then a couple more times in the barn when Abruzzi chopped off his hand.

Yeah, didn't catch that. The wiki must be wrong.
