Full recap

The prison’s guards flee as fighting closes in on Ogygia, giving Michael and the others a chance to break out of solitary and attempt an escape. Michael, Whip, Ja, and the prisoner being held with them are forced to cooperate as they move through the prison, while Cross and armed inmates try to cut them off.

As the escape unfolds, one of the prisoners is shot, and Sid grabs the fallen man’s shiv and stabs Cross in the chest, siding with Michael’s group. The group gets outside, but they are quickly captured by ISIL forces. At the rendezvous point, the leader of the militants orders Michael’s execution, but Lincoln arrives and kills several of the gunmen, while Whip kills the leader during the chaos.

Michael and Lincoln finally reunite after the fight, and they later watch a news report confirming the leader’s death, which sparks a threat of retaliation against them. Elsewhere, T-Bag meets with Kellerman to learn more about Poseidon, but before he gets answers, Poseidon’s operatives attack and kill Kellerman. T-Bag escapes and follows the attackers, where he spots them meeting with a man named Jacob.
