And the very last scene of this episode was even more out of place, with Lincoln revealing to Scofield that their mother also worked for The Company, and that Lincoln was therefore going to do the same, and work with The Company to get Scylla in exchange for their freedom. Scofield tries to convince Lincoln that he can’t possibly get something as important as Scylla into the hands of the Company, but his words fall on deaf ears, and Scofield is left as the only good man standing as his brother walks away.
Essentially, this episode offers the explanation that Scylla has to do with designing a way to harness all of the sun’s energy. The question remains though — what does this new plot development have to do with the Company’s earlier twist of destabilizing the Kip, in order to cripple the economy of Laos? It seems to me that the producers and writers have somewhat lost the plot, or forgotten about developments they started to create earlier. This careless action of losing plots has pretty much plagued Prison Break from the second season onwards. Twists and developments were created, and then sneakily abandoned and forgotten about when the writers had too much on their plate to fulfill.
In any case, this episode delivered some excitement, until the last few moments took a deep turn into discordance and incongruousness. Let’s hope that next week brings about some light to this puzzling final scene, otherwise it’s only fair to declare that Prison Break has clearly lost its plot... once again.
