Plot summary
Bagwell is released from solitary and meets his vulnerable new cellmate. Scofield forces a lockdown of the prison by breaking the air conditioning to give himself and Sucre more time to take down a wall with dangerous gas lines in it. This backfires when Bagwell starts a full-scale riot that leads the prisoners outside the block, and Bagwell and a captured C.O. discover the breach in Scofield's cell, allowing Bagwell to join the escape by threatening to report it. Tancredi's life is threatened when the sickbay prisoners join the uprising, but Scofield sees this via the cameras and rescues her through the ceiling ducts.
Kellerman and Hale use a retired contact to recruit Turk, a Fox River inmate, to kill Burrows; he lures him into an empty location. Donovan distances herself from Savrinn, but he regains her trust when he makes the discovery that an anonymous call linked to Burrows's arrest came from Washington, D.C. rather than Chicago.
