Spoilers for all of Season 5, Episode 9, “Behind the Eyes.” Michael exposes Jacob as Poseidon by turning the investigator’s own murder into a staged crime-scene reconstruction. The plan clears Michael, reunites him with Sara and Mike, and ends with Jacob sent to Fox River as T-Bag’s cellmate.
What happens in the opening at the lake house?
The finale picks up at the previous episode’s lake-house cliffhanger, then rewinds six minutes. Jacob is downstairs with Sara, who is tied up. He tells her that Michael’s escape assignment in Yemen was supposed to be his last because Jacob did not expect him to survive. Van Gogh arrives and seems moved by Sara’s appeal, but Jacob spots Michael and Lincoln on the security cameras and leaves.

Meanwhile, Jacob’s computer specialist deciphers the message concealed in Michael’s palm tattoos: “NEVER INTERRUPT YOUR ENEMY WHEN HE’S MAKING A MISTAKE.” Michael uses a different tattoo—Jacob’s face, inked on the backs of his hands—to fool a scanner in the university bunker. He takes evidence from the site and arranges to trade it with Jacob at a shipyard warehouse.
What happens at the shipyard?
Sara gets information from the dying Van Gogh and, with Lincoln’s help, finds and frees Mike. At the warehouse, Jacob’s operative A&W gains the upper hand over Michael. Whip charges her and is shot; T-Bag kills A&W. Federal agents close in after the location of “Kaniel Outis” is leaked.

Jacob shoots Michael with Michael’s own gun, but the apparent killing is part of Michael’s plan. Michael has built a full-size reconstruction of the cabin exterior where Jacob murdered CIA deputy director Harlan Gaines. The gun is loaded with blanks, and the staged scene lets Michael record footage recreating the evidence Jacob deleted. Michael beats Jacob, then allows federal agents to take him in.
How is Michael cleared, and what happens to Jacob?
Nelson, Jacob’s computer specialist, turns against him and confirms the “21 Void” operation. That testimony helps persuade the CIA to accept Michael’s account and clear him. Michael declines an offer to work for the CIA, but asks the director for a favor.
