Halfway through the episode, Mateo paused the show. He needed to digest a plot point involving a tattoo hidden under Michael’s new skin grafts.

He unpaused the scene where Theodore "T-Bag" Bagwell made his inevitable, chilling return. The actor Robert Knepper is terrifying, but the Spanish voice actor gives him a slippery, creepy elegance that makes your skin crawl in a different way.
