Whether you are re-watching the series for the fifth time or viewing it for the first, the story of Michael and Sara serves as a reminder that even in the darkest cells, love can be the ultimate escape plan.

Season 2 brings a dark turn for the couple. While on the run, Sara is arrested and faces a lengthy prison sentence for aiding the Fox River Eight. Under immense pressure from "The Company" (the shadowy organization pulling the strings), Sara eventually finds herself cornered.

The dynamic shifts dramatically in the Season 1 finale. Michael needs the infirmary door unlocked to execute his escape. He asks Sara to leave the door unlocked, putting her career and freedom on the line.

If you'd like, I can create a write-up about their storyline or the show in general!

In a controversial storyline, the audience is led to believe that Sara has been beheaded by the villainous Gretchen Morgan. This devastates Michael, who spends the early part of Season 3 consumed by grief and a desire for revenge.
