Michael Scofield and Sara Tancredi are outside the warehouse talking about their pasts, when Fernando Sucre interrupts them. A sticker beside the license plate of one of the cars is revealed to be that of the Turkish flag. Following this lead, the team targets an official in the Los Angeles Turkish consulate. Michael, Lincoln Burrows and Alexander Mahone scope out the next (second) card holder. However, the card holder turns out to be the target's female companion. She is seen in a private meeting with the Pad Man and is instructed to carry out a Company business when contacted.
Meanwhile, Theodore "T-Bag" Bagwell is starting his first day at GATE under the name of "Cole Pfeiffer". On his way to work, he runs into Michael and Lincoln. T-Bag manages to hide Whistler's "bird book". Michael and Lincoln begin to interrogate T-Bag but are forced to flee after being spotted by police. T-Bag proceeds to GATE to be introduced to his new co-workers and his new office. There he finds a name and a number of "Mr. Xing" found on a pinkslip.
Michael and his team find out about Eagles & Angels, a meeting the card holder is to attend. Mahone explains that the ceremony is attended half of the Los Angeles police force to honor fallen police officers. Nevertheless, Michael, Lincoln, and Sucre manage to infiltrate a storage room and steal police uniforms.
Wyatt, following the information acquired from Bruce Bennett, arrives in Los Angeles to continue his hunt for Sara Tancredi. He sidetracks briefly to silence a former Company employee trying to leak information to Donald Self. Returning after the murder, Wyatt continues to interrogate Gretchen for information regarding Scylla and Michael, but she does not break.
Michael, Lincoln, and Mahone attend the Eagles & Angels ceremony disguised as police officers, and Sucre and Bellick wait in the getaway vehicle. Michael makes his way to the card holder's table and successfully hides the downloading device. The ceremony begins, and during a moment of silence, the lost ones of the characters flash before their eyes. Unfortunately, it is at this time that the bodyguard from earlier again recognizes Lincoln and proceeds to follow him. Lincoln realizes this and leaves, only to be held at gun point outside. He is then saved by Brad Bellick, who stabs the bodyguard with a screwdriver, killing him. The Pad Man calls and instructs the card holder to leave immediately. Michael and Mahone improvise and send the card holder's bodyguard off to identify the fallen bodyguard. Michael's nose bleeds again, but he stays beside the card holder until the download is finished.
During the ceremony, Sara, upon discovering Bennett's murder (disguised as a suicide), struggles to cope with grief and a sense of guilt. She rushes off to a bar and orders a drink, returning to an old habit. A man drinking near Sara snatches Bennett's credit card from Sara's bag without her knowing. When the man uses the card, Wyatt is alerted by the Company. Sara leaves without touching her drink just as Wyatt enters the bar asking for her. Although the barkeeper denied seeing Sara, Wyatt still manages to track down Sara on her way back to the warehouse and is seen following her.
Reception
IGN gave the episode 6.7/10, saying that there were multiple good moments but the "horribly bad dialogue and stupid character decisions" ensured the episode could not rise above mediocrity.[2]
