run for your life! - Prison Break

Last week's Prison Break was a bit disappoint for Seven Network. Nine's broadcast of Commonwealth Games took away 300,000 viewers from Channel Seven's Prison Break (down to 1.187 million), and Channel Seven took care of those missed out viewers by re-screening it last night.

Tonight's story: (Episode 9: Tweener)
Lincoln's son LJ is alone and running for his life, with Secret Service agents Kellerman and Hale determined to see him dead. Things are going from bad to worse in Fox River as well - with Abruzzi's mob bosses squeezing him out, he could lose all his privileges and end any chance they have of escaping. Could things get any worse for Lincoln?
T-Bag loses one slave and targets another, Kellerman and Hale continue to follow LJ who tries to contact Veronica for help, while Abruzzi's inability to meet the gangsters' demands jeopardises the plan.

The story so far:

Michael Scofield robs a bank so he can be sent to the same jail as his death-row inmate brother Lincoln Burrows who was convicted of - and likely framed with - the murder of the vice-president's brother. He has hatched an elaborate plan to break his brother out and prove his innocence (using the entire prison's structural blueprints which are tattooed onto his body).

With the help of his cell-mate Sucre, Michael aligns himself with a disparate group of prisoners and wardens, including former mob boss John Abruzzi, Charles Westmoreland and Warden Henry Pope. On the outside he has only one ally, his defense attorney and longtime friend, Veronica Donovan, who is Lincoln's former girlfriend. She starts to uncover a far-reaching frame-up and Lincoln's son LJ and his mother are targeted for execution by two US Secret Service agents, Hale and Kellerman. LJ escapes but is on his own and it's only a matter of time before they catch up with him...

Meanwhile the escape team of Michael, Lincoln, Sucre, Abruzzi and T-Bag have been assigned by Bellick to clean up a burnt out guard's room and they are enlarging a floor-drain opening in a bid to escape. However Abruzzi has run out of time with his mob bosses and unless he delivers the whereabouts of mob informer Fibonacci soon, he could lose all his privileges and end any chance of escape...
