Lincoln Burrows awaits his fate on death row while his brother Michael Scofield, a structural engineer convinced of Lincoln's innocence, gets himself incarcerated as well in the hope of freeing his brother from the inside.

As racial tensions simmer inside the prison and Veronica digs into Lincoln's case, Michael tries to get a drug that will help him test positive for diabetes, and to secure a large bolt he can use in his escape plan.

Michael encounters problems bringing Abruzzi and Sucre into his plan, Veronica gets a statement from Leticia that could help exonerate Lincoln, but then loses her. Finally, as his execution date draws nearer, Lincoln considers having a family member there.

Michael's ploy to buy some work time by prompting a cellblock lockdown leads to a full-scale riot, Nick convinces Veronica that he really does want to help her, and Kellerman hires an inmate to kill Lincoln.

Tragedy strikes when a rescue attempt at a tenement building proves unsuccessful, leaving the men and women of Firehouse 51 affected by the loss of the victim.

Chief Boden leads the fight to keep the firehouse open, an emergency call to an apartment structure puts the squad in harm's way, and Dawson receives life-changing news.
