When last we left the gang they were digging in the garage and Michael and T-Bag were upstairs with the lady of the house when a police officer showed up and T-Bag took put a hammer to her throat. How will they get out of this one and do they find the buried treasure? I will be tuning in to find out. Will you? This is the last episode for a little while as FOX has the MLB Playoffs and World Series during the month of October. It shall return after baseball.
