Wrong, he needs prime power, not prime.

The next two terms:  450283905890997361,36472996377170786401
and it is likely that there is no more terms: if p>3 then p-2 or p+2 is
divisible by 3, but as that is a prime power it should be in the form of
3^k. So we need: 3^k+2 is prime and 3^k+4 is prime power, or 3^k-2 is prime
and 3^k-4 is prime power.
