In this particular episode, Michael needs a chemical called hydrofluoric acid to help him with his escape plan, but he quickly realizes that obtaining it will not be easy.

Michael decides to approach the prison's most notorious drug dealer, Haywire, to get his hands on the acid. In order to do so, Michael pretends to be a drug addict and offers to help Haywire with his drug-dealing business in exchange for the acid. Michael's acting skills come in handy as he convinces Haywire of his fake persona, and he successfully obtains the acid.

However, it soon becomes clear that the acid is not enough. Michael needs a specific type of plastic to melt in order to create a key component for his escape plan. This plastic, called polycarbonate, is only found in one place inside the prison: the infirmary.

Once there, Sucre is supposed to steal the polycarbonate and sneak it back to Michael. The plan is risky, but Michael is willing to take the chance to get his brother out of prison.

Things become even more complicated when Michael's cellmate, Fernando Sucre, finds out about his plan and threatens to tell the guards. Michael must quickly come up with a way to keep Sucre's mouth shut while still continuing with his escape plan.

Meanwhile, a rival gang leader in the prison named T-Bag begins to suspect that someone is plotting against him. T-Bag is not willing to let anyone get in his way, and he begins to suspect that it is Michael and his group that are trying to undermine his power.
