Fight or Flight

Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Oleg, Michael’s landlord, asks him to help Cara, a waitress in one of his clubs, after she stops showing up for work. It turns out that Cara, a single mother, is being threatened after she witnessed a drug dealer brutally beat up a man. Michael then attempts to have Cara and her teenager daughter Sophie to move to Buffalo, New York. Thoough Cara agrees to the moving, Sophie refuses to leave town, as she feels unhappy of leaving everything behind that she knows, including a school prom that she wants to attend.

Our Take

A solid client-of-the-week episode that leans on the mother-daughter conflict for its emotional weight, and it mostly works. The spy tricks are fun as always, but the villain is pretty generic and the teen drama drags in spots. Worth watching for the Michael and Fiona banter alone, just don’t expect anything memorable.
