1.08 Wanted Man

Summary and spoilers

In the last episode, Michael and Fiona spent the night together. Now Fiona wants the relationship to become something more than a friendly one night stand. When Michael starts spending more time with his big dossier and not enough time paying attention to her, Fiona conveniently takes Tom, a handsome young fugitive, under her wing. Fiona enlists Michael to clear Tom of a charge of stealing a two million dollar broach. To do so, Michael must pose as a buyer and get the real thief to bring the broach out into the open, then get the police involved. It all backfires when the mark discovers that he is being conned.

To further his burn notice investigation, Michael makes a deal with Libyans agents to provide some intelligence in exchange for the Libyans naming Phillip Cowan (the NSA agent that either burned Michael or has information on who did) as a friend – while they are being eavesdropped. It certainly gets Phillip’s attention – Michael can expect to be hearing from him soon, and it may not be a pleasant visit.
