Burn Notice 4x09

Finally Vaughn is back (that middle-ranking spy from “Management”)! Michael is hoping he will arrange a meeting for him with that terrorist Simon, so he can find out more about the coded bible. But Vaughn tells him “no.” He wants the bible for himself. Then Michael is asked for help by two FBI agents tracking down a material witness who’s supposed to stand trial against some Turkish criminal. Except for some two-way radio contact, Michael is on his own on this job, facing an assassin and a hit team, all while a hurricane made landfall in Miami. Meanwhile, Vaughn pays Fiona a visit. He offers her a tempting deal: if she gives him the bible, Vaughn will make sure Jesse gets his old job back and won’t find out who got him blacklisted. She later tells Michael about Vaughn. She trusts that he will do the right thing, even though she hates the way he’s using Jesse. Now Michael has to ask the FBI agents to do him a favor, threatening Vaughn. He relents, but not without warning Michael how dangerous Simon is. In short, this episode was mostly about Michael; the action was fairly tame and the interaction with the assassin was rather lame; but the deal with Vaughn got him one step closer to learning more about his burn notice.
