It is with a degree of relief that the third season ends with a fairly strong finale that finally rids the viewer, for all practical purposes, of Sona.
The script tried so many scenarios which were in actuality the same story of Lincoln trying to outwit Gretchen. For every brilliant nuance played out by Michael and crew at Fox River it seems there were few flashes of that same brilliance as Michael spent his days mostly surviving as a prisoner in the Panamanian jail.

My vote is eight.Michael and Lincoln chase Whistler (who calls Gretchen) in the warehouse. The Machiavellian Vice President shows no scrupulous in a perfect characterization of most politicians of the world. The despicable David deserves his fate in the end. I was disappointed with LJ attitude, hiding key information from Veronica and Nick. Sucre is also bright creating an alibi in case he is discovered by the guards.
