The scene between T-Bag and Sara went on for far too long; however it gave Sarah Wayne Callies the opportunity to finally show us her acting abilities from her vault of emotions and expressions, as she stoically tries to fend off her lecherous offender. For so much of this series, Sara was merely window dressing for Scofield and the show, and occasionally she was even a burden to him. She didn’t have any purpose in this series beyond the first season, other than to be Scofield’s love interest, in what turned out to be a rather lacklustre and passionless relationship. Hence it was nice at least to see some acting chops from the actress who has been playing Sara all this time, even if her character still remained purposeless.
Part two of this two-part finale was entitled “Killing Your Number.” Ironically, the over-usage of various characters’ cell phones in this episode might not have been intended to have any association with the title, but nonetheless it seemed to fit it nicely!
We left Mahone and Lincoln in the room, with Christina and her henchman in the other room with Scylla in “Rate of Exchange," and “Killing Your Number” picks up with that scene. Mahone calls Scofield to tell him that the bombing device didn’t go off, only to be told he’d have to tend to it manually. Mahone does just that, the bomb goes off hurting Christina and her men, and Mahone runs off with Lincoln to a waiting car with Scofield and Sara in it.
Kellerman (Paul Adelstein) somehow or other tracks down Scofield’s number and calls him on his cell, telling him about how he can get the boys' freedom at last. Kellerman explains to Scofield that he works for the same company that Scofield’s father worked for.
Sara and Mahone head off to the hospital to steal some drugs to treat Lincoln‘s bullet wound. However, Mahone is caught and apprehended there. The General‘s henchmen trace the brothers' whereabouts through Lincoln‘s phone and manage to apprehend Sara, Lincoln, and Scofield, as well as Sophia (Danay Garcia) who is being held in a remote location.
Sucre and C-Note capture T-Bag whom they torture into telling them The General’s location. Sucre and C-Note then go to The General‘s residence, where Sara, Lincoln, and Scofield are being held. In an ensuing shootout, The General‘s men are killed and Sucre handcuffs The General and leaves him there to be arrested by the police. Sophia is also let free. However, as the Gang tries to flee, the police show up, prompting Sucre to surrender himself so the rest can get away.

Great article Sara was pointlesss and that's why her return this season was so bad and the tv audience left.Season 4 is by far the worst season of this show and it even ended with a who cares feel to it.The writers ruined everything from making Sara a love interest for Michael to her return (that's where the show jumped the shark).As for the DVD's they just put those extras eps because they know there are gullible people who would buy it so they want to make more money.The ones who will buy it maybe expecting something so great but in reality it's the same dragging all over the place with stupidity just like the rest of this season.Alot of people probably are going to waste their money buying that garbage!!
