Redemption of the T-bag

T-bag's character in episode 17 of the second season of Prison Break has become more and more plump. If last season's 52 letters to susan were just vague infatuation mixed with hateful thoughts, then T in this episode is a bit like the legendary lover. Unexpectedly, he would take love as his salvation.
He would disguise himself as a kind and wise father in front of his children, and as a humorous and housekeeping man in front of strange visitors. He would yell in front of his lover: I'm not the beast you thought I was, I'm my father's sin!
He admits the sin he has committed, he also knows his cruelty, he does not believe in the world, nor does he believe in the promises the world has given him. However, he believes in a person's love, and believes in the little hope he has given himself. Isn't that belief? The fresh blood he wants to be reborn, he believes that with a little love from Susan, her child will also become his new life and hope.
It's very human, because of the mainstream plot of heroism, t-bag has not been portrayed as a devil after all.

Of course, there is no hope. He cried. . .

After the belief is lost, I don't know how he will go next, if susan is his weakness, now at least superficially it doesn't exist anymore.
