Burn Notice 4x11

Burn Notice, Blind Spot, on USA Network
Hoping to deflect blame for Jesse’s burn notice, our team has faked an intelligence file that implicates communi- cations technology CEO John Barrett, the man who has been behind the whole global-war-for-profit con- spiracy that Michael is trying to uncover. Barrett is after Simon’s coded bible which will help him bring down Vaughn. Jesse suggest they go to Barrett in New York (which incidentally would be impossible, because the premise of our show tell us that blacklisted spies cannot travel), but Michael instead calls Barrett on his secret number to lure him to Miami.

Meanwhile, Fiona and Sam help a wealthy widow who has lost her money to some sleazy womanizing con-artist. They don’t have much success convincing him to share in his game, even after drugging him. Fiona and Jesse follow him to his money manager, learning that they have too many bank accounts to easily drain him. They try scaring him, which backfires, too. Finally they make it seem he killed the widow in a drunken rage and offer to clean the crime scene for the neat sum of one million dollar, which they can then hand over to the woman.

For her part, Michael’s mother Madeline decides to pack up and leave. She can no longer see her son lie to Jesse. This has been one of the summer season’s main story arcs. The audience has been waiting for the resolution. Will Jesse believe that Barrett is behind his burn notice? Fiona returns to Michael’s place only to find Jesse’s gun in her face. He found out the truth. His former handler Marv showed him security footage of Michael running away from Jesse’s old office building on the day he got blacklisted. Jesse’s promised to murder who ever set him up. But he can’t bring himself to kill Fiona. In tears she calls Michael to warn him that Jesse is on a rampage. Next week’s summer finale will pick up from here. It is impossible to tell how this is going to end, but it doubtless going to be exciting. There’s also no question the situation with Barrett will offer an action-packed cliffhanger.
