He later frames his friend and fellow Aryan gang member Trokey for the murder.
At the end of the riot, Bagwell defies the orders of Michael and Abruzzi and murders a guard that could expose the escape. When he returns in the episode 'Riots, Drills and the Devil', Bagwell instigates a full-scale riot, during which he accidentally learns of the escape attempt and threatens to tell the other inmates if Michael and the others do not include him the others have no choice but to agree. Believing Scofield was responsible, Bagwell seeks revenge but is stopped by Abruzzi, who has his goons assault him, sending him to the infirmary after which the character is absent for two episodes. During a race riot in episode 'Allen', his cellmate and lover is fatally wounded. Upon the arrival of Michael Scofield ( Wentworth Miller) at Fox River, Bagwell wants to ensnare him as his personal plaything, but is unsuccessful. A racist and a pedophile, he is detested by most other inmates, such as John Abruzzi ( Peter Stormare) and Benjamin Miles 'C-Note' Franklin ( Rockmond Dunbar), but his status within the Alliance for Purity protects him from attacks.
Theodore 'T-Bag' Bagwell is the leader of the Aryan gang inside Fox River.
