Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Michael must find his way into a high security prison to keep watch over Sam’s inmate friend, whose life is endangered by another prisoner.

Our Take

The prison setting gives this one a nice change of pace, and Jeffrey Donovan does good work playing a guy who can’t rely on his usual tricks behind bars. The villain is pretty generic though, and the B-plot with the lawyer moves slowly. Solid middle-tier Burn Notice, fine if you’re already watching the season.
