Aren’t you glad Burn Notice is back? I am! The show’s about Michael Westen, who used to be a spy until someone got a burn notice on him. For the past three seasons he has been getting involved with more and more dubious characters trying to discover why he got blacklisted. We’ve learned that some bloke named Simon has been pinning violent acts of terrorism on Michael. It’s time we find out why. Michael is imprisoned in some secret, private holding facility, by a man called Vaughn, his new best friend, apparently. Vaughn, too, was behind Michael’s notice. Now that “Management” realized it was Simon who was to blame, they uncovered this bloke was working for someone else: Gregory Hart, an illegal guns trader, who has been connected to acts of terrorism and warfare around the globe. Vaughn invites Michael to pay a visit to this man to see who he is working for. Right when they find Hart in the jungle, an automatic plane comes shooting down from the sky!
Meanwhile, Fiona and Sam have taken on a case – in honor of Michael (not knowing where he is) – protecting some lawyer Winston (the actor who plays Harry Crane on Mad Men), who somehow got involved with an outlaw biker gang trying to save a girl from her boyfriend and now all members of the gang are after him. With Michael back on board, they’re going to make it seem like Winston was running guns for the gang, so that killing him would send the FBI after the gang. The leader of the pack calls off the kill. To defend his honor, though, the girl’s biker boy shoots the leader. Things didn’t go as Michael planned. Lots of great action, fat punches, fast bikes, shooting guns and an exciting chase! In the end, it all works out. Michael has a talk with his mother, explaining for the first time in his life that his career has been highly dangerous – without actually just telling her he has been a spy – and that this Simon had been blaming Michael – without telling her he was a terrorist. It’s the first heart-to-heart they’ve had. Madeline is visibly relieved. On his next task for Vaughn Michael has to access federal intelligence about this Hart, but when he does, another agent gets blacklisted. Michael just put a burn notice on anther spy!
