Summary

Michael poses as a thief to infiltrate a crime gang who are terrorizing a local store owner.

Our Take

A solid midseason entry that leans on Michael’s cover identity work, and Donovan clearly has fun playing a cocky criminal instead of his usual cool operator. The gang infiltration plot follows a predictable path, though, and the villain never feels like a real threat. Worth watching for the character bits and Fi’s escalating frustration, but don’t expect surprises in the case itself.
