Reluctantly, Michael involves Sara in the plan, who now has to decide whether or not she should aid his escape. Fearing the return of his cellmate, Tweener pledges his loyalty to Michael and joins the breakout team. As she prepares to leave for Blackfoot, Montana, Veronica is betrayed by her closest ally.

Quotes

• Michael (to Sara): I came here to tell you something. I'm getting my brother out of here... tonight. And I need your help.

• Governor Tancredi: What was it that your mother always used to say? It's nice to be invited to the dance even though you don't have right shoes.

Sara Tancredi: Yeah, she also used to say that your father is a lying bastard but I figured that it was just the booze talking.

• Governor Tancredi (to Sara): I will not discuss morality with an addict and a thief.
