After 2 long weeks without Burn Notice, the show is finally back. Michael starts off by finding a black plane that spy agency uses. He finds one and gets Barry to find the shell company (why is he doing this now?). At the shooting range, this crazy guy called Spencer confronts him and starts babbling. TBH, I wasn't too keen on this character. At times, his fast talk babble seemed natural and at other times it was just tedious and annoying.
Not only can he not put together a complete thought it a few sentences, I also gets confused between Earth and space. He supposedly uncovered a plot that aliens were killing guardians. Replace aliens with evil corporate execs and guardians with spies and I guess he's fine. Eventually they check his evidence and he might actually be on to something. They find out that an executive for a defense firm does have unauthorized codes for embassy transmissions that they use to communicate. No, she isn't actually an alien.
I didn't quite understand the process in which they got her caught since a few schemes didn't work (I wasn't too tired as I watched 2 more hours of TV after, so I'm not sure what to make of it) In the process, Spencer tries to hack her computer and she tries to kill him. Michael and Fi save him and lose their chance to catch her in the act of deleting incriminating evidence. They then trick her and catch her once and for all.
Michael finds the spy agency and talks to a guy named Diego. I learned that spy agencies are allowed to steal and smuggle native artifacts back to the U.S. as funding for operations (sure...). The higher ups are willing to review Michael's file so I guess we'll see what happens (I don't think there will be a follow-up).
Fi seems to be reaching a breaking point, especially after Michael literally blackmails her by saying that if she cared about him, she'd let him get what he wants. And if he cared about her?
Score: 8/10
Next Episode: Michael gets kidnapped by a bunch of people with guns
