Episode Summary & Review

Summary

In the third season finale, Michael goes up against a terrorist who’s threatening to detonate a bomb in Miami if Michael doesn’t cooperate with his plans. To make matters worse, the FBI is closely following Michael’s every move.

Our Take

A tense, chase-heavy finale that mostly works because it ditches the case-of-week formula and lets Michael scramble for once. The terrorist plot itself is pretty thin and the FBI subplot feels like filler, but the last few minutes land a genuine jolt that rewrites the show’s status quo. Worth it for the ending alone, even if the buildup is uneven.
