The doctor who left the door open · The Brothers & Allies

Sara Tancredi (The doctor who left the door open) is a character in Prison Break, part of The Brothers & Allies. Dr Sara Tancredi runs the Fox River infirmary on principle: the governor's daughter, a recovering addict, the one person inside the walls who treats inmates as patients. Michael Scofield's diabetes appointments are neither accidental nor, increasingly, just business — he engineered the access, then complicated it by meaning it. Sara's choice at the season's end — a door left unlocked, a career and a father traded for a conscience — buys the escape its last open inch and costs her everything after.
