[edit] Summary
Lincoln is worried about Michael's sanity while Michael has trouble remembering some parts of the prison schematics. Sucre has to conceal the hole in the guard's break room. He asks T-Bag to get a pair of panties from a crossdresser by offering a sexual favor. T-Bag is reluctant but he gets the panties. Warden Pope transfers Michael to solitary after Michael refuses to reveal how he got the burn. While in solitary, Michael appears to have an emotional breakdown. He begins punching the wall repeatedly, fists bleeding, and repeating the words "I put my blood into this."
Veronica and Nick use rope to lower LJ into the well where Quinn's body is to grab Quinn's cell phone. LJ sees Kellerman's name etched on the well wall and realizes what part Kellerman played, but doesn't say anything to Veronica or Nick. Later, they leave LJ in the apartment. LJ uses quick computer research to find Kellerman's house. He breaks in while no one is home. A neighbor woman sees the break in and calls the police. When Kellerman returns home, LJ pulls a gun on him. Kellerman is shot, but not seriously injured. The police arrive and LJ is arrested.
Meanwhile, Sucre manages to conceal the hole but is caught when making his way back to the cell. Bellick interrogates him and when Sucre denies an escape attempt, he demands a reason. After Bellick finds the crossdresser's panties hidden around Sucre's ankle, Sucre says they were his girlfriend's and uses them as his excuse: "She wanted to let me know she's thinking of me." He is also thrown into solitary.
Lincoln tells a guard to check on Michael after he stops responding, and after checking on him the guard immediately calls for medical help. Michael is found staring blankly at the wall with bloody fists. He is cleaned up and put into the psych ward. Michael then comes out of his disturbed state, revealing it was all a ploy in order to talk to Haywire. Michael asks Haywire to remember the tattoo on his back (Michael's) because the map had been burned off. Haywire just replies by asking "Who are you?"
