Season 1 Episode 2 — Prison Break

With less than an hour before Lincoln’s execution, Abruzzi delivers on his end: a tiny Allen key is smuggled inside a crucifix. Michael, now released from the infirmary, rushes to put his plan into action. However, he’s too late. He bursts into the cell block just as the loudspeaker announces that Lincoln Burrows has been granted a last-minute stay of execution.

If the Pilot was the "Lock," Episode 2 "Allen" was the "Key." The piece of the puzzle here was the physical tool needed to begin dismantling the prison infrastructure, proving that Michael's plan is tangible, dangerous, and already in motion. prison break season 1 episode 2
