[edit] Summary
Abruzzi is out of the loop of prison industries (PI) because the payoffs to the chief guard were cut off. With Abruzzi out of the scene, Michael and the other break team inmates watch helplessly as PI is taken over. Abruzzi tells Michael the only way out is to tell his gang he still has control - and that means giving up Fibonacci to them. Michael doesn't want to give up an innocent man's life, but ultimately hatches a plan with Abruzzi. Abruzzi's mob gang visits him in prison, then demands to know how Michael figured out the location. Michael explains that he did his homework - before they go into witness protection, they are in the custody of a local sheriff. Only one was out of town during Fibonacci's custody, and he made a lot of calls to his wife, which Michael intercepted.
Abruzzi's gang goes after Fibonacci, who they believe is in Canada. However, the RCMP cracks them before the assault. Fibonacci picks up a copy of a Kansas newspaper in the meantime. Abruzzi confronts Michael, asking him how he feels. Both men are pleased with the results, but soon fall mysteriously ill.
During a scene in the CO break room a.k.a. "Saint Louis", some in the team of wannabe escapees announce to one another where they dream to go. Abruzzi says Sardinia, Sucre says he wishes to get back to Maricruz, and Michael quietly says to Lincoln that together they will go to Darien Gap, Panama to live and perhaps run a scuba shop.
Meanwhile C-Note has noticed the disposition of cement from the break team. He offers the new head of P.I. $150 a month to work with them. It is accepted. C-Note then uses his brains to figure out the escape plan. Once he finds the loose cement in the shack, he knows of the escape plan.
