Rating: ⭐⭐⭐½ (3.5/5)
While Sona’s atmosphere works, the episode struggles with how it uses its returning villains. T-Bag (Robert Knepper) is always magnetic, but his immediate rise to power feels rushed. More egregious is Brad Bellick (Wade Williams), reduced to pathetic, tearful begging. After being a menacing force for two seasons, his humiliation is so complete it becomes cartoonish rather than tragic. The episode also suffers from pacing whiplash, cutting between Sona’s slow-burn dread and a frantic, less-interesting subplot involving Sara and Mahone back in the States.
The visceral tension of the yard fight and the haunting final five minutes. Skip it if: You need a satisfying escape by the credits—this one locks you in for the long haul.
