Corrections Officer Bellick became obsessed with catching Bob's killer. "T-Bag" threatened Michael and Abruzzi, warning that if anyone betrayed him, his first action would be to expose the entire escape plan. Abruzzi expressed doubts about Michael's plan: while they could infiltrate the infirmary through the tunnel, how would they reach Lincoln, who was isolated in the death row unit? Michael convinced Westmoreland to set fire to a guard station. When their work crew was assigned to clean up the aftermath, they seized the opportunity to dig into a drainage pipe located beneath the station.
Back in Los Angeles, before Nick and Veronica could begin their investigation, Veronica's apartment was destroyed by a powerful explosion. Having narrowly escaped death, the two abandoned any thought of contacting the police and instead hid in a remote cabin to continue unraveling the convoluted case. Meanwhile, Lincoln's son, LJ, lived with his stepfather, Adrian. Secret Agent Kellerman suddenly appeared at their home. During a struggle, both Lisa (LJ's mother) and Adrian were shot dead. LJ fled the house barefoot, clutching a camera phone that had captured photos of Kellerman.
"T-Bag" ordered his lackey, Chet, to falsely accuse another inmate, Trokey, of murdering Bob. The young Chet was tormented by overwhelming guilt over his actions.
Kellerman and Hale reported the outcome of their mission to the Vice President—revealing that she was the mastermind behind the entire conspiracy.
