Oh Prison Break, how I've missed you.  You didn't think that you could just have my favorite fugitive break out of yet another prison, reveal that his one true love is actually alive, and add a host of awesome new characters to the show and not have me salivating over the season premiere, now did you?  Lucky for me (and fans everywhere) that the wait is soon to be over.  Prison Break returns on Monday, Labor Day, with a special 2 hour season premiere.  Last year, FOX released the first 15 minutes of the season 3 premiere but wouldn't even give us that much for season 4.  Instead, they released 4 short clips from episode 4.1, "Scylla", but believe me, they tell enough of the story to keep fans happy for just a few more days. 

** WARNING!  EPISODE SPOILERS AHEAD! **

“My name is Michael Scofield. I’m a fugitive,” the season premiere begins with Wentworth Miller’s voice, writing a letter to an unknown recipient. “Three weeks ago, I was incarcerated at a Panamanian prison. While I was there, I was approached by The Company, a corrupt organization involved in all levels of industry and government. They gave me two options. Break one of their men, James Whistler, out of that prison or they would kill the only woman I ever loved, Dr. Sara Tancredi. I held up my end and broke Whistler out. The Company, they killed Sara anyway. I don’t know why The Company wanted James Whistler out of the prison but I’ve tracked him here, to Los Angeles. He’s with an agent I know only as Gretchen, the same agent who murdered Sara. It ends today.”

It doesn’t take long for Michael to catch up with James and Gretchen, as he promised to do in his letter. He holds both at gunpoint and admits that Sara would not have wanted him to kill anybody. As Gretchen asks James if he told Michael (presumably the truth about Sara), Michael puts a gun to her head and says, “This is for Sara.” As promised by the people at Prison Break, Michael finds out fairly early that Sara is in fact alive and well. He puts in a call to Bruce Bennett to ask where he can find her but just as the two are about to set up a meeting, Michael is stopped by the police, who tell him to put his hands on his head.

Is it me or are Lincoln and Sofia getting close? It could just be an act, the two pretending to be a pair down in Panama, but it looked like they actually cared about each other. While shopping in a downtown market with LJ, Lincoln thinks he spies someone watching them. His gut instinct is to get out of there so he grabs them and starts moving. As they get to an alley, Sofia tries to tell him that it’s just his imagination but the man is standing right behind them waiting to speak to them.

That’s all the Prison Break scoop and spoilers you’re getting for now but with the season premiere only days away, you won’t have to wait much longer to find out how the rest of this episode will play out!
