This episode picks up where we left Michael last week – in Sam's car in the back of a trailer. The mysterious woman who has been calling him is Carla and she can help him find out why he is such an important asset, and why his burn notice was issued.

But first he must do something for her... Carla wants Michael to help Jimmy (an IT guy whose family has been kidnapped) get data from a company called Security Associates.

If he succeeds, Jimmy's family will be returned and Michael will get to meet Carla and get some questions answered. With the assistance of Fi and Sam, Michael sets up a plan to infiltrate Security Associates, get the data and save Jimmy's family – but not without setting off a few alarms and blowing up a boat!

In the midst of all this he has to deal with his neurotic mother, Fi's anger at him leaving and generally just trying to stay alive.

"Burn Notice is just a fun romp. Fast paced, action packed, some beautiful people and the occasional pyrotechnic display.... It's so much fun." -- Robert Seidman (TVbythenumbers.com)

"Burn Notice remains the perfect escapist series... It's the cure for the summertime TV blues. Four stars." -- Amy Amatangelo (Zap2IT.com)
