On tonight's episode of Prison Break, Sara panics at the news that The Company will be overseeing Michael's surgery.  The General promises her that Michael is in the best care possible and he will treat them as guests while the surgery is taking place.  In the operating room, Michael is told that he will be awake for the procedure but he is more concerned with getting Scylla back.  Sara tells him not to worry about that right  now.  The General tells Lincoln that he will not help Michael until Lincoln heads out to retrieve Scylla for him and will have to do working with T-Bag.  Linc tries to get information out of T-Bag, who wants money in exchange, but he just knocks him to the floor and begins pulling his teeth out one at a time.  T-Bag cracks and gives up Gretchen and Don's location, not wanting to lose any more body parts.

At the pier, Gretchen notices that Don appears to be a bit nervous as they wait for their next meeting about Scylla.  While being transported to jail, Mahone asks to use the bathroom, saying that it is his right.  Wheeler fires back, saying that he has the right to shoot him in the back of the head should he run.  As Michael's doctor explains the procedure to Sara, Michael flashes to his cell at Fox River where Charles Westmoreland is waiting for him.  Charles says that Michael can call him D.B. (Sweeney) now and tells him that he is not dead.  Conscious again, Michael is asked to recite the alphabet but quickly flashes back to the cell.  He apologizes to Westmoreland for any pain he caused him.

Gretchen's sister calls her to tell her that they're free and that The Company has taken T-Bag.  Rita tells her to stay away from them, in order to keep everyone safe.  Once she hangs up the phone, Gretchen tells Don that T-Bag knows the exchange location, which means The Company knows too.  Lincoln and Sucre show up second later and find the pier empty and deserted.  A man watches them from a distance and makes a call, asking what he should do about them.  In the car, Mahone smashes a window with a pipe he took from that bathroom, lets himself out, and starts heading out on the run.

In Michael's dream sequence, Charles sits with him as he tries to unravel the mystery of Scylla.  Gretchen tells Don that she's surprised that he never asked to see the information in Scylla.  She feels that if he really knew what was on there, he might think twice before selling it to a dangerous person.  Agent Lang catches up with Mahone, who says that he's going to run and she'll have to shoot him.  She lets him go and tells Wheeler that she missed when trying to shoot him. 

While watching the surgery, Sara realizes that Michael's tumor has grown more than she thought and the doctor tells her that he may experience some memory loss.  As Michael gets close to cracking the secret to Scylla, his vitals begin dropping and Charles tells him that it's time to go.  Sara runs in and tells him that he still has work to do and it's not time to leave.  Charles tells him that not everything is at it seems and walks away.  Michael gasps for air and wakes up to see Sara standing there, waiting for him.

Don meets his buyer, the man who was watching Lincoln and Sucre on the pier.  The man wants Scylla before paying up, to confirm that it's legit, and Gretchen tells Don to hand it over.  As the information loads, Don sees files on nuclear codes and then some.  Lincoln and Sucre head in and make a noise, which causes the man to run off with Scylla but not before firing off a shot at Don, who is hit in the arm.  Lincoln points the gun at Gretchen, demanding to know who is in possession of Scylla.  She says that if she dies, he'll never know who it is.

As Michael recovers from his surgery, he tells Sara that he thinks Scylla is much more than it seems.  He has a theory that Scylla has to do wtih energy and certain elements that can harness 100% of the sun's energy.  Michael says that they can't take down The Company, they have to become The Company.  They have to know what they know and be able to control it.  Sucre tells Lincoln that he needs to live his life, stop seeing dead bodies, and stop cheating death on a daily basis.  He says it's time to live his life but asks Lincoln to just be careful.  They agree to meet up once all fo this blows over and go their separate ways.

The General tells Lincoln that he'll now have to work with Don and Gretchen to try to figure out who took Scylla.  With no other choice, Linc agrees to team up with them.  The General asks if he's going to tell Michael about his new job or if he should.  Lincoln goes to his brother and tells him about the deal that he made, which obviously does not sit well with Michael.  Linc reveals that both of his parents worked for Scylla and he's just stepping in to the family business.
