Does Tbag Kill Susan ((better)) [Limited]

In a fit of rage, T-Bag pulls Susan into a closet and, off-screen, (implied by the context and his dialogue). Afterward, he does not kill her. He leaves her alive but utterly broken. His exact words as he leaves are chilling: "I just wanted what was coming to me. Now you got what's coming to you."

After T-Bag escapes from Fox River with the other "Fox River Eight," his primary goal is not just to find the hidden money (from Season 1’s D.B. Cooper subplot) but to track down Susan in Naperville, Illinois. His exact words as he leaves are chilling:
