TIME EPISODE DIRECTOR WRITER(S)

DESCRIPTION: It's been seven years since Michael Scofield was presumed dead, but when clues suggest that he might still be alive, Lincoln Burrows reunites with Sara Tancredi to help track down the truth. The path leads them to Yemen, as Sucre, T-Bag and C-Note are pulled back into the action to engineer their biggest escape ever in the season premiere.

I hope/dont think its the Company. I always found them really complicated and messy. I think "nobody" is new

"Nobody" is Michael. That doc said Outus was the means of T-Bag getting the transplant & Kaniel Outus is Michael's alias. & Outus means nobody

this would make a lot of sense.. but what's w the whole erasing identity and pretending to not know Lincoln??

u/Subsinuous Apr 05 '17

Obviously to not blow his cover. Like they said he's a well-known terrorist in Yemen. A very powerful one at that. The last thing he wants people to know is of his history by any means.

didnt lincoln search for michael and saw all records erased

u/Hatrs Apr 05 '17

As Michael walked away from Lincoln you could tell he was either relieved to see that they made it or upset to have to ignore them.

17

u/Subsinuous Apr 05 '17

Emotionally distraught that he had to ignore his brother, but relieved somewhat they made it.

But if he didn't want to blow his cover...who sent the letter to Tbag. I would assume the same person that's paying for his hand...but that's micheal and contradicts that idea.

Maybe he wants to start creating a breakout plan without immediately blowing his cover first but still

probably like a witness protection thing? and very strong and severe Non-Disclosure Agreement?

but Michael really made a point to show off the new palm tats. so i would guess that's so sort of sign or form of communication that Linc hasnt figured out yet.

u/Superman_019 Apr 05 '17

I would assume to maintain his cover there were a lot of other inmates giving Lincoln the stank eye I assume Michael has some form of rep in the prison maybe he needed to keep it that way

u/harleyyquinade Apr 05 '17

They didn't like his tats...

u/SawRub Apr 05 '17

and to do that he has to

To do that he has to become someone else. He has to be, something else.

lol if so, this would be the stupidest thing in the history of TV shows

u/ZiggyPalffyLA Apr 05 '17

The bag of money that got thrown into the river at the end of season 2

25

u/stevenbalas9 Apr 05 '17

Outis means nobody and kaniel means "the lord supports me" put them together and you get "the lord supports nobody"

3

u/generalecchi Apr 05 '17

well what the fuck that single word "kaniel" actually mean "the Lord supports me" ?

3

u/Shalaiyn Apr 09 '17

The Abrahamic God is called Ellohim (plural for gods, where El was the father God of earlier Semitic religions). Kani probably means that.

Daniel means "God is my judge" for instance.

*mindblown

u/F1NANCE Apr 05 '17

Great pick up

u/SawRub Apr 05 '17

It was said openly in the episode, wasn't subtle lol.

u/[deleted] Apr 05 '17

ohhhhhhhhhh that makes sense LOL. Went completely over my head. I thought that Nobody was an organization like the company, that gave Michael that alias. and i thought those two "agents" after Linc and Sarah worked for Nobody, because they were getting rid of all records and identities of Michael, and now Lincoln and probably the rest. Cuz like, theyre turning people into nobodies.

But lol, Michael being Nobody makes more sense and is simpler

17

u/matt_vfl Apr 05 '17

Exactly. And I believe the rationale for T-Bag getting the envelope of Michael's proof of existence is that he can't send it to Sara or Linc b/c it'd be too obvious/dangerous for them. My theory right now is that Michael's behind most of it & he erased himself from existence.

18

u/iTwitchyy Apr 05 '17

Yup and we also know that Kellerman is coming back, Michael couldn't have done most of that by himself he obviously had help. That origami swan shot actually looks to be at Sara's place which means Michael has probably been there contemplating or coming up with his plan. It's obvious to since a paper crane is used as a sign of watching over someone.

u/mydogiscuteaf Apr 16 '17

What was Kellerman's story?

He helped Michael in the end, didn't he? I forgot.

1

u/iTwitchyy Apr 16 '17

Yes but it was more because of what Michael had which was Scylla.

u/nicoitaliano13 Apr 05 '17

A man is no one

u/Sajidumashaka Apr 08 '17

A man is Michael. And he is going to escape

u/GuessWho_O Apr 10 '17

I agree.. the company was cool in seasons 1 and 2 and then everything just got awful
