Season 5 opens . The core characters have fought hard to build normal, quiet lives. Lincoln Burrows is struggling back into his old habits on the streets, while Sara Tancredi has remarried and is raising Michael’s son, Mike Jr., in upstate New York.

Sara is initially reluctant to believe Michael is alive. Once she is drawn in, she becomes more than a damsel in distress. She uses her medical skills and newfound toughness (honed by years of presumed widowhood) to become a key player in the final rescue.

As the fifth season comes to a close, fans are left wondering what's next for the characters. While there has been no official announcement about a sixth season, the show's creators have expressed interest in continuing the story.
