Episode Notes
- Although this episode's production code suggests it is the eighth episode of the season, it should in fact be the seventh one (which it was aired as), as the episode begins by mentioning that Michael had just broken up with Rita, which happened in the previous episode "The Ocean Walker", and Tobias has his hair plugs removed in the next episode, "Making a Stand".
- The title of this episode is a reference to the Fox drama Prison Break. The title also refers to how Michael and G.O.B. try to break into the prison, with George Sr. successfully doing so at the end. It also serves as a callback to the Season 2 episode "Spring Breakout".
- This is the only episode of Season 3 to have received a TV-PG rating when it aired, despite the references to marijuana and chlamydia.
- In a recent interview, Jessica Walter said this was one of her favorite episodes of the show.
- The music playing at Lucille's first dinner with the Warden is the first movement of Bach's Italian Concerto.

Famous quotes containing the words episode and/or notes:
“Youth is the period in which a man can be hopeless. The end of every episode is the end of the world. But the power of hoping through everything, the knowledge that the soul survives its adventures, that great inspiration comes to the middle-aged.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“Of all the horrid, hideous notes of woe,
Sadder than owl-songs or the midnight blast,
Is that portentous phrase, “I told you so,”
Uttered by friends, those prophets of the past.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
