theRecap: Prison Break news to lose a head over

Welcome back to theRecap, our weekly feature where we shift through all the gossip to bring you the actual news of the TV week goneby. (And there is a lot of gossip and speculation, too.) Here's what you might have missed:

Prison Break to bring back someone
One of the many people to have died on the popular FOX thriller will be alive and well when the fourth season kicks off next fall. If you don't want to know who it is, please, move to a cave. Because this will be one of the big stories talked about when the new season premieres, and will be heavily hyped. (Spoiler-fillde Story)
