Then, a photograph arrives via anonymous courier. It shows a man in a Yemeni prison—a place called Ogygia—making a cryptic hand gesture. The man has Michael’s signature neck tattoo, but it’s altered. Lincoln and Sara are thrown into chaos. Is Michael alive? Michael (Wentworth Miller) is alive, but he doesn’t remember his past. He’s using the alias “Kaniel Outis” —a nod to Homer’s Odyssey (Outis means “nobody”). He’s been incarcerated in Ogygia for four years, branded a terrorist affiliated with ISIL.
