This one was definately not the greatest I have seen from the fantastic show.

Burn Notice has amazing potential and it is a great show, but after such a long wait, they cant drop us a semi great episode.

I didnt think the first ep of second season was that brilliant but thought to myself that the second one would please, but it didnt.

I wont stop watching this show because once again it has potential to be one of the best shows that I currently watch and know that it should pick up.

Once you watch alot of shows, you need to expect the odd set of episodes that drop the benchmark for others.

Somewhat flatter than last episode but still a lot of fun.

We see the mysterious woman carrying dishing out assignment to Michael, though all of a sudden she seems keen to meet up with him. At the same time he helps a client that is being stalked by a ruthless drug smuggler. Though I always enjoy listening to Michael go on about how a spy might execute his jobs, and derive such pleasure in Sam's somewhat hapless character, this episode felt to casual. The jobs are being portrait as way too easy to Michael, and his attitude a bit carefree - like he will always find his way out. Of course that is part of his character, but I think we need to see some a bit more hair-raising episode soon. We need to feel again that Michael and his friend/family might be in real danger.moreless

Carla appearing was very good and frustrating. I say frustrating because she's threatening Michael with hurting his mother if he doesn't do what she wants. I wonder how long this will last. But it adds more excitement to the series.
The case was good. I liked all the things Michael and co. had to come up with in order to get Raul to trust him, turn him into a traitor and give up. Nicely done.
Michael's story with his mother was a surprise. But listening to both of them at the counselor's office was both sad and revealing. So that's why their relationship is like that. There's no communication. They took things for granted and that's why they're in deep trouble.
Sam and Fiona great like always, getting use of their skills to help someone.moreless

Michael helps a woman that happens to be a DEA agent working under cover to catch drug dealers. I liked how Michael dealt with the situation. It reminded me of the season 1 episode where he stopped the local group that was taking money from the local businesses. I like his new relationship with Fiona, but I rather them still be together. The thing I loved about this episode was Michael going with his mom to the counselor. I love learning more about their relationship and past. Overall, good story and great character development. This was another solid episode of Burn Notice.moreless

I just cannot imagine someone watching this show and not liking it. In this episode Michael teams up with a DEA agent who is posing as a waitress to bring down a drug cartel. In the meantime Michael must also obtain some computer id cards for his new handler. The man that makes the cards ends up dead and Michael and the agent bring down the cartel. Michael also gets his first lead as to who his new handler is. He finds out she speaks arabic with a kurdish accent which leads him to believe she probably served in Afganistan. This was another great episode and this show is just awesome. I would like to have seen Sam and Fiona a little more but I know we will get plenty of them in upcoming episodes. Keep it up Burn Notice, you are a great show.moreless

- Sophia: Campos is in a turf war with the Mexicans. They put a hit out on him last week. It's pretty ugly. Michael: Ugly's good. We can work with ugly. Sophia: How? Michael: I need to get in with Raul. Quietly make myself useful; get some information. Then I let Campos know that Raul is spilling information to a new friend behind his back. Campos deals with Raul for us and it looks like you had nothing to do with it. Sophia: You make it sound so easy. Michael: That sounded easy? Edit
- Michael: That stalker happens to have a Mac-10 in his jacket! Oh-- you knew didn't you? Sam: Mike, look, I did a little pre-scouting; I knew he was packing, but I didn't know he had a Mac-10. I thought it was like a regular gun. Edit
