Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Michael helps foil a defense executive’s plan to sell company secrets that, in the wrong hands, could lead to the deaths of American spies. Elsewhere, Michael finds a new intelligence contact.
Our Take
A middling hour that leans on Spencer, a paranoid schizophrenic code-cracker who’s either the most annoying or most endearing client of the season depending on your tolerance for twitchy guest performances. The corporate espionage plot is standard stuff, though the subplot giving Michael a new agency contact finally nudges the season’s larger story forward. Watchable, but not one you’ll remember.
