We're back from hiatus! Sarah Wayne Callies and Paul Adelstein discuss Prison Break Season 1 Episode 14, “The Rat,” noting it followed a four-month hiatus after “End of the Tunnel” and aired March 20, 2006 to 9.28 million viewers. They cover the episode’s credits, IMDb recap, competing TV programming, and major March 2006 news and culture moments including the UN Human Rights Council, Hamdan v. Rumsfeld arguments, Scotland’s smoking ban, The Sopranos’ final-season premiere, and Twitter’s first tweet. Reacting to the episode’s emotional intensity and depiction of execution protocol, they analyze key scenes involving Sara helping Michael, the focus on nonverbal storytelling, and the show’s serious treatment of Lincoln’s impending execution.
