Maricruz Delgado is a fictional character from Fox television series Prison Break.
Maricruz met Fernando Sucre (Amaury Nolasco) 3 years prior to his conviction and they began dating a year later. Around six months after Sucre's incarceration at Fox River State Penitentiary, Maricruz moved to New York after accepting a job as a buyer for a major Manhattan fashion outlet. Sucre's cousin Hector Avila (Kurt Caceres) moved to New York one month after Maricruz did, claiming that his company transferred him there, but it is widely suspected that he moved there in order to be closer to Maricruz. Hector is often responsible for driving Maricruz to the Prison so she can see Sucre. Whilst this is seemingly innocent, Hector is in fact a rival for Maricruz's affections and was partly responsible for Sucre's arrest after tipping off the police.
[edit] Appearance
Maricruz is a recurring character who appears mostly in scenes with Fernando Sucre and Hector Avila. She was introduced as the girlfriend of Sucre in the series' pilot episode when she visits him for a conjugal. After Camille Guaty left the show at the end of the first season, the actress was replaced by Melissa Marsala in the second season.
[edit] Season 1
Maricruz remained supportive of Sucre, despite finding it hard to wait for his release, worried that something might go wrong and he'll be forced to serve his full five year sentence. She visited him in prison several times and the couple had been approved for monthly conjugal visits. Sucre proposed to Maricruz in a letter which Michael helped him write and when she came for their next conjugal visit she accepted his proposal.
Maricruz later reveals herself to be pregnant (by Sucre), giving him even more motivation to escape. His happiness at becoming a father and marrying Maricruz is short lived as he finds out from Hector that Maricruz will no longer be coming to visit him in Prison and has started a relationship with Hector. When he is finally able to establish contact with Maricruz she tells him that Hector proposed to her after telling her [falsely] that Sucre had been getting visits from a former girlfriend. This leads Sucre's drive to escape to increase and he goes to new lengths to help Michael with the revised plan.
Sucre had planned to go straight to Maricruz after escaping. Whilst travelling in the van away from Fox River, Sucre underlines this desire saying that, "I just want to touch her belly" in episode "Flight". Maricruz has since gotten engaged to Hector and they traveled to Las Vegas to be married. After discovering this, Sucre travels to Las Vegas to stop her. Later, it is revealed that Maricruz left Hector at the altar which prompts Sucre to go after her.
