There, he found a steady job and his current girlfriend, Maricruz Delgado. When Fernando went back to Illinois to visit some old friends his life took a turn for the worst -- he held up a liquor store in order to get enough money to pay for an engagement ring. His cousin Hector had tipped off the cops, as he had his own designs on Maricruz.

He is Michael's cellmate, though was briefly separated from this role because he wanted nothing to do with Michael's escape attempt. Haywire replaces him. After Michael engineers Haywire's removal as his cellmate, Sucre returns, this time anxious to have a role in the escape. Since his incarceration, Sucre has had conjugal visits from Maricruz and is focused on getting out of prison as soon as possible. Sucre is worried about Maricruz's indecision about her future with him.
