In this episode of Burn Notice, called “Blind Spot” everyone is, as usual, working on different cases. First off Fiona comes to the aid of a grieving woman who had her entire life saving snatch from her by a sleazy womanizer. It’s a job tailor made for Sam, so he helps her to get the sleazebag back. Every plan they have blows up in their face until finally they resort to drugging him (twice) to make him black out and think that he’s killed the woman whose money he stole. Then Michael steps in as a “dirty cop” and claims he can make it all go away, which he does (since it never happened in the first place) and gives the money to the client.

Having ridden out a hurricane or two in Miami, this week’s episode of Burn Notice, called “Center of the Storm” was somewhat familiar. Putting plywood up on windows, evacuating to higher ground, cleaning up afterwards, yep I’ve been there and done that.

Then again, Michael and his friends did have a smidge more to worry about than I did in my last hurricane. First of all, now that they’ve got Simon’s bible (which they are sure is a code cipher), Michael wants to meet with the man himself. While he’s trying to arrange that, he’s still keeping the secret from Jesse that this whole business is what got him burned, oh and he gets kidnapped.

This week’s episode of Burn Notice, called “Where There’s Smoke” had the entire gang involved in a job as Fiona gets herself kidnapped to protect a client. Michael begins negotiations with the kidnappers but Fi sends a coded message letting him know that she and the client are dead, money or no money. So then Michael and Sam run off to try and find her, leaving Jesse and Maddie to deal with the husband who doesn’t believe that his money won’t solve the problem.

OMG, seriously can these ads from USA get any funnier? Michael and Fi from Burn Notice run into Peter from White Collar and hilarity ensues.

My favorite part is the way Fi innocently asks “What grenade?”

ROTFLMAO!!

Alright people, so I’m moved in and ready to start posting reviews again. Woot! 🙂

To celebrate my triumphant return, here’s my review for the latest episode of Burn Notice – “Entry Point”. In this ep, the team is split up with Michael and Fi working with a client who creates forgeries of high-end items and inadvertently got himself mixed up with a thief after a super expensive sword. Michael and Fi have to play private security for hire in order to track down the thief, aka “Mr. Slippery”. Things go awry (don’t they always) though when it turns out that the thief is actually a “Miss”, not a “Mister”.

Meanwhile, Jesse is put on point to interrogate Kendra and Sam ends up floating between both jobs, applying his skills wherever they are needed. What a team player.

My favorite bits….

Michael comparing interrogating a hostile prisoner to proposing marriage. Trouble is, I really can’t decide if I’m totally offended by that…..or kinda turned on a little.

Kendra going so far to show off how tough she was by bashing her head into the table repeatedly. Holy crap, that was scary.

Sam saying that he was officially eating his lunch, and drinking his beer of course, “in protest”. LOL.

Sam actually using the term “don’t let him slip you any wooden nickels” (which basically means don’t get tricked). Okay, what is this? 1948 or something?

Fi getting completely distracted off the job by all the shoes in the room. Hey, can’t say I blame her.

Laughing at the term “hot tub assassination attempt”.

The obvious joy Sam got out of screaming (and spitting a little) at Jesse.

Jesse really being able to pull off the lowly grunt act. Heck, even I was falling for it.

Michael’s role of the week – Randy, with an “R”, country arson inspector.

Michael using a file sharing site to upload intelligence. Nice.

Wacky cat lady telling Fi that she’s obviously too disorganized to work at their company and then Fi throwing a coffee cup at her. Hilarious.

Poor Buddy having to get shot in the arm to keep him from getting blown up. Ouch.

OMG! LOVED the Burn Notice/White Collar commercial with Fi & Michael and (NAME???).”Is that a grenade?”, “What grenade?” ROTFLMAO!

Jesse asking Sam – “Hey, let me ask you something. Is it weird that I kinda miss you?” – LOL! So loving these two together.

The look on Michael’s face right before he tossed Buddy out the window. Classic.

Finding out that my suspicions about the assistant chick were right when she turned out to be “Miss Slippery”.

Michael using Fi’s purse (one he never liked) to put a bomb under a moving car. Awesome.

Michael and Sam sitting on the couch, watching the interrogation with beers and sandwiches, totally cracked me up. It looked like a couple guys watching football on a Sunday.

Micheal telling Jesse that he really could use some more friends, after Jesse said it would be weird not hanging out with their hostage.

Overall an action packed and fun episode that had shows that this new team works well together, as well as apart.
