The Art of the Deal was aired on Feb. 18 and was a great episode, really enjoyable which picked up where we last left off. But actually, it was just an episode like so many other episodes, which they aired as a season finale and which resulted in an unsatisfying ending. This felt less like a mid-season cliffhanger and more like the end of the current phase.

On the episode, the focus was on the long awaited hostage exchange between the two brothers and Gretchen for LJ and Sofia in exchange for Whistler.

Michael and Lincoln are chasing Whistler. As a big fan of series, I can say that Whistler is kind of character whose intensions and interests were never made clear. Episode explained a little bit more on him such as what he wants and whose side he’s on.

If the Sona environment felt like a slightly chaotic schoolyard before, by the end of this episode the prison situation changes drastically – and certainly not in a positive manner. Gretchen gives up Sofia and LJ; Michael gives up Whistler. With this episode, I love writers’ understanding as they made a nice Sara reference.

This reference leads to a new sense of purpose for Michael. Yeah, finally got it what’s there in Whistler’s briefcase? His bird book is an important piece to the company which contains a set of coordinates.

T-bag is the one who has got it. These details allow Sona and the inmates to remain tied. For the episode, I’d like to say ‘a good episode, but unsatisfying season finale’.

If you’ve missed the episode then watch Prison Break episodes online.

Shortly, this season finale played out well but was forced to end early. Well, now fans are looking for upcoming season 4 and I think with this season some new characters would be brought in.

Let’s hope that writers will develop a satisfying final arc to bring the concept to some satisfying close.
