Prison Break season 5 episode 8 spoilers: The last before finale

Prison Break season 5 episode 8 is coming to Fox next week, and with that suddenly the show is nearing the end of its run. There are only nine episodes in this revival, and with that, there are only two opportunities for the series to properly tie things together and see if Michael and Lincoln can figure out a way to get peace in whatever their new normal is. (Side note: Imagine the riots if the Fox show for whatever reason kills off Michael again in the finale.)

This episode is entitled “Progeny,” and that is certainly an interesting name given that it implies a close similarity between a parent in their descendant. Is the show trying to say anything about Sara and her son with this, or is it a clue to something else within the story? One way or another, it signals that legacy is probably very important to this episode as some characters start to look ahead to their future — whatever that may be in the weeks that follow the events of the finale.

Prison Break season 5 episode 8 synopsis – “When Sara and her son’s safety is threatened, Michael and Lincoln recruit the help of Sheba and C-Note to try and catch Poseidon. Meanwhile, Whip goes on a separate mission and T-Bag reveals a secret.”

This is the episode that more than likely has the greatest challenge of almost any single one this season, given that it has to build up the story to the finale and set some of those wheels in motion. While it may be possible that there is more in the future in terms of another revival, it’s far from confirmed. With that, the show does need to figure out a way to close off this chapter in the best way possible before looking more towards the future.

The biggest thing to be excited about now is the aftermath of everything from the Michael – Sara moment tonight, and the realization that there is still so much more to come.
