Otis (Prison Break)

Template:Prison Break episode "Otis" is the twenty-fourth episode of television series Prison Break; it is the second episode of the second season.

Special Agent Mahone tries to lure the escapees by targeting an imprisoned L.J. Michael and Lincoln come up with a plan to free L.J. from jail. Sucre, Abruzzi and C-Note have a plan of their own, but only to break free of their pursuers. Meanwhile, C.O. Bellick and Warden Pope feel the heat following their unsuccessful attempts to capture the escapees, and Tweener infiltrates a group of college students on their way to spring break. Bellick, after having been discharged for unlawful dealing with prison convicts, contemplates and nearly attempts suicide but decides against after hearing of the cash reward for the return of the escapees. It is currently unknown what his plans are.

Warden Pope, after quiting his job as a sign of support for his subordinate Bellick, aggressively destroyed the Taj Mahal model that Scofield designed for his anniversary. He recalled his memory and knew that Scofield started this manhunt.

T-Bag's left hand is reattached with the help of Dr. Marvin Gudat, who is killed by T-Bag soon afterwards, via injection. He gets in Gudat's car heading to Utah after stealing Gudat's clothes and bleaching his hair.

Michael and Lincoln's impromptu break out plan turns sour when Mahone deciphers the clue left by Lincoln at literally the last second, and escorts LJ in the elevator personally. Michael and Lincoln appear from the ceiling, but are unable to pull LJ out with Mahone anchoring him down. Once Lincoln drops his weapon, Mahone kicks the alarm button, LJ tells his father to let go, and the plan was a failure. Sprinting away from the police, Michael and Lincoln boarded an idle delivery truck, but Lincoln sustained a gunshot wound to his leg. LJ in the meantime, is sent to a detention center in Arizona.
