Full recap

Michael, Lincoln, and Sucre set out to steal the next **Scylla card** by crashing a police memorial benefit, while T-Bag starts his first day at GATE under the false name **Cole Pfeiffer**.

The episode opens with Michael and Sara talking privately outside a warehouse about their pasts before Sucre interrupts them. Back at the warehouse, the team learns that their next lead points to an official connected to the Turkish consulate, and Michael, Lincoln, and Mahone begin tracking the card holder. At the same time, T-Bag arrives at GATE for his new job and quickly draws attention, though he successfully keeps up the act long enough to take his new corner office.

Michael and Lincoln run into T-Bag on the way to work and confront him, but they are forced to break off when police appear. The team then learns that the card holder will attend an event called **Eagles and Angels**, a benefit for fallen LAPD officers. Michael, Lincoln, and Mahone steal police uniforms and infiltrate the ceremony, while Sucre and Bellick wait nearby in the getaway vehicle.

Inside the event, Michael gets close enough to the card holder’s table to plant the downloading device and begin copying the data. Lincoln is recognized by a bodyguard, who starts following him, and the situation escalates when Lincoln ends up outside at gunpoint. Michael and Mahone cover for him by sending the bodyguard away to check on another fallen guard, and Michael stays beside the card holder while his nose bleeds again, holding position until the download finishes.

Meanwhile, Sara learns that Bruce Bennett has been found dead and believes the death is a suicide. Overwhelmed by grief and guilt, she goes to a bar, orders a drink, and briefly slips back toward her old drinking habits. A man nearby steals Bennett’s credit card from her bag without her noticing, and when the card is used, Wyatt is alerted. Sara leaves without drinking and is soon approached by Wyatt when he enters the bar looking for her. Even though the bartender denies seeing her, Wyatt tracks Sara down as she heads back toward the warehouse, and the episode ends with him following her.

T-Bag’s day at GATE also remains tense throughout the episode. Michael and Lincoln corner him, but they let him go when police pass by, leaving T-Bag to keep his new identity intact for the moment.
