Plot: In this episode, Mike's landlord agrees to let him live rent-free in exchange for helping one of his waitresses. She called the cops after seeing a man drag a pizza delivery guy out of his car and beat his with a tire iron. Except that guy happens to be the local drug cartel's boss. We all know how they love people calling the cops them for their indiscretions. Which leaves Mike trying to keep them safe against the resistance of Cara's daughter, who doesn't see what the big deal is.
In the overarching plot, Michael infiltrates an international conference to find a spy, any spy, who owes him enough of a favor to give him a copy of his burn notice, in the hopes it can provide a lead. In more humorous developments, Fiona tries to extort a key to Mike's loft, and Mike tries to get regular personal transportation, in the form of his father's old Charger.
The Players: Oleg (The Landlord), Cara (The Client), Sophie (The Daughter), Alvaro DeSantos (Cara's Problem), Bruce Gellman (Cartel Lawyer), Akhum Thabet (Egyptian Spy).
Quote of the Episode: Sophie - 'I don't care. I'd rather be killed then stay here.' Michael - 'Well, those are your 2 options.'
Does Fiona blow anything up? She throws a pair of Molotov cocktails.
Sam Axe's Drink Count: 5 beers (14 overall). Damn, Sam, slow down.
Sam Getting Punched Count: 0 (3 overall). All potential aggressors must have been scared off by his "guns of steel".
Mike's Fake Laugh Count: 1 (6 overall).
Other: Just the for the heck of it, I have to add Mike's dig on Sam: 'If there's a situation that requires showing off your upper body and boozy flirting, you're my guy.'
This episode also starts the pattern of Michael hiding clients at his mother's house. It also reinforces how both Michael and Madeline remember their family life. Michael sees it as nothing but misery, Madeline glosses over all the bad stuff and makes everything seem swell. She talks about Michael and his dad working together on the Charger, Michael rebuts by pointing out his father left him with a scar as a reminder of their work together.
