TV Review: Prison Break Season 2 Finale — "Sona"
Published April 05, 2007
To set the stage, Mahone has Linc, Michael is trying to get to him and keep them both alive, while back in the States Sara is in court. Michael, on his way to his brother, runs into a a young boy selling, shall we say, illicit items along the shore, which gives Michael an idea. After putting his plan into motion, he heads off to meet with Mahone. Mahone, is just trying to save his own skin at this point. He places a call to Agent Kim, and then to the local police.
As fate would have it, everyone arrives at about the same time, and a firefight ensues when Mahone tries to turn the tables on Kim. Mahone and the two brothers each make their getaway, leaving Kim presumed dead. Mahone is then met by police at the boat, with the suspicion of drug smuggling. This turns out to have been the plan Scofield set in motion earlier, and which will put Mahone into a Panama prison for some time.
Now for an update on Sara, while that was all going down in Central America, Sara was about to be put away for a long time. A saving grace comes in unlikely form. Paul Kellerman stepped up in court and took the stand, admitting everything from his orders to kill Sara, to the framing of Michael for the murder of the Vice President's brother. This grants Sara her freedom, and a full exoneration of Lincoln. She then heads off to find the duo to tell them the good news.
Back to Panama, the brothers meet up with the boy from earlier who leads them to the boat he has procured for their use. As they go to board the boat, the boy looks at Michael and says "She's very pretty." Michael thinks he is talking about the boat, but the boy says he is not. Sara emerges from the cabin, revealing her presence. Before the reunion can get to far, Kim shows up, not dead, and not very happy. Earlier, Kim met with the mysterious Pad Man who wants one of the brothers alive. Back to now, Kim is about to shoot one of them when a shot rings out, and Kim falls over dead. Sara had come out and fired the fatal bullet.
No sooner does Kim die than the police that Mahone had called earlier arrive with guns drawn. The three split up, Lincoln heading one way, Sara and Michael another. The police choose to pursue Sara and Michael. Knowing what is about to go down, Michael intends to repay the debt he owes Sara for her help through all of this. He emerges holding Sara as his hostage, then allows himself to be caught.

Maybe you forgot to mention it, or maybe you missed it.. at the end when Micheal is walking through the hallway and looking at the strange people.. the guy lying on the floor naked, with clear physical injuries to his face is Bellick.. So Bellick, Micheal and Mahone are all in this place called Sona.. im guessing theyre all gonna escape from it together
I thought that was Bellick, but wasn't positive...
How did those scientist guys find out about the imprisonment so fast, and what do they have to do with Michael? - I thought that the bald guy was the guy who passed notes to Kim throughout the series. He was also referred to as "General". Maybe a new faction coming in the third season?
Where did Sara go, and who is that guy following her? - I got the impression here that these were the guys T-Bag worked for, again hinting at maybe a new faction.
What is Sona? - The Prison Micheal, Mahone and Bellick are at.
So many questions really are raised by the finale, and I can't wait for season 3!
I thought the finale was great, I just wonder where they are going with season three. I just hope it doesn't take some weird Sci-Fi twist though.
I heard that Sarah Wayne Callies may not be back as she is expecting though. Is there any truth to that?
Note: It was Bellick in the corridor. I watched it three times.
Well I am very excited to see season 3! I am sure it will be AMAZING. I also am sad because Sarah Wayne Callies won't be in the first couple of episodes because she is on maternity leave. And I also wonder, not only what is going to happen to Michael, but what is going to happen to Lincoln? Yes, we will have to wait for this wonderful show to return so all of our questions can finally be answered.
season 2 was gr8....would have loved to see more romance between scofield and sara thou.T-bag is such a gr8 character and die hard...gr8 season!! looking forward to season 3....
yeah this last episode was phatt!!!!!!
damn my hero michael,i loved the intuitiveness and skill he potrayed here.
but everything happened very fast man.agent kim died.paul died.sucre colapsed maybe died too.all in one setting.twaz just too much.
season 3 is gona be a twist thats rather unpredictable.that guy who pases note to agent kim is now a scientist,and seems like they wanto carry out some research on michael..perhaps to try harvest some genius factors from him or plant some weird stuff in him.
just cant wait.poor bellick!hes mad on that floor with no clad.
so i guess mahone and michael are gona meet again...its fuckin crazy and it blows ma mind just thinking bout it all.
kuddos to prison break cast and crew.
i never come alive like when am talking about,or watching p.break.
damn.
You think there will be a Season 4? :)
dat scientist guy is the guy who Mahone thinks is dead from all those years ago.
to lisa:
hey i dont think paul kellerman died in the 22nd episode.. i think he will be an asset in season 3.. more or less im sure he was rather SAVED from the car than killed. it must have been some agents helping him, perhaps the same men who worked for him on the inside when kellerman got scofield and linc. out from the SUV on their way back to fox river. anyways.... i cant wait til august :D
i think that T-bag and Tweener are awesome and Mahone is really gay. Micheal and Lincoln should kill Kellerman because he is also gay. By D.T who loves A.J (she's hot!)(REALLY HOT!)
C-Note had his freedom back.. hehe
"hey i dont think paul kellerman died in the 22nd episode.. i think he will be an asset in season 3.. more or less im sure he was rather SAVED from the car than killed. "
They might bring the character of Paul Kellerman back but unless his new Grey's Anatomy Spinoff fails miserably, Paul Adelstein, who plays Kellerman, will be gone. At any rate his new show Private Practice(where he plays a pediatrician opposite GA's Kate Walsh)should keep him busy for at least the first half of season 3. If Private Practice were to falter and Adelstein opted to come back to PB, Kellerman will have had to have one of those Stedman type makeovers to be a factor in the first half of season 3, or not appear at all until the second half.
I just cant get enough prison break! It is a fantastic program and I am hooked from start to finish. I do not know what I will do now that season 2 ended. Series 3 seems so far away :(
Great story, plot, action and suspense just keeps me wanting more and more.
Pure Genius!!!
C-Note was released and given a new identity and told to stay out of trouble. I can't help thinking that he can't really get away. The company wanted all of them dead so i think he still has a target on him.
OK, so here is the thing... Maybe Im the only one, but to me ever since the begining something wasnt right. Things were lining up a little to perfect for michael... What struck me the most was right before their escape from fox river, how michael intentionaly left out a piece of the TAJ so it would collapse, not knowing though that they would be forced to escape early and that just then the wardon would want to bring it home... Then his whole escape plan was hanging on the fact that he KNEW Sarah would leave the door open and so on. It seems like his intuition is almost bordering a six sennse.
On the other hand he is up agains Mahonne, who is no less genious. Coincidence that they both seem to be part of SONA?
And finally what does the company have to gain from all this?
Seems to me that not only Michael but also Mahonne are part of some sort of experiment and are being tested by the company to their abilities.
Just like the general says that he excpects Michael to escape that "Its in hes nature..."
Anyhow. Its been nice speculating, cause my mind is freaking out not knowing all this :)

I thought that that ending is leading us to an X-Files type season when the show starts again. I thought the first two seasons were great stories, so I eagerly await what the writers and actors do next.
