After going to great lengths to secure the necessary supplies to leave the country with new identities, Michael discovers another way to resolve his conflict with Riley. With her reputation on the line after failing to arrest Michael, Riley "sells out" many government agencies to the cartel in exchange for their help in providing a hit squad to find and kill Michael.
With the leverage gained by exposing her corruption, and after making a new deal to help the CIA in a deep cover mission, Michael is able to negotiate for the freedom of his friends. The deep cover mission sends Michael into the Dominican Republic where he struggles to ensure his friends and family remain free of the agency's grasp as their continued freedom is contingent on his success , to get close to his new target, and to adjust to a solitary life while his friends back in Miami adjust to life without Michael.
Slowly but surely the mission causes Michael to sacrifice his morals as proven by literally "sleeping with the enemy" and assassinating an old friend. As his mission reaches its end, Michael discovers that the CIA has tasked Simon Escher to lead the extraction team in charge of rescuing Michael and capturing James and Sonya. Knowing that Simon is "a monster," yet seeing how the CIA chooses to work with him anyway, Michael finds himself in a moment of deep personal crisis that causes Michael to flinch in his loyalty to the CIA.
Instead of securing their capture, Michael escapes with James and Sonya. Michael is forced to tell James the truth--that he is working with the CIA--when James blames Sonya for their near-capture. Michael then reveals his newly found belief that he's wasted his life working for the CIA. James is conflicted as he can see Michael's sincerity and potential benefit to the group, but he is unsure of how to handle Michael's betrayal. James ultimately decides the best course of action is to turn over leadership of his network to Sonya and Michael while allowing himself to be captured by the CIA.
During this time, Michael's friends detect that Michael is not acting like himself and they become concerned staging a kind of intervention. After engaging Sam in a fist fight, Michael escapes his friends to return to James and Sonya. Fiona, however, interrupts their plan by coming to the building where James is to be captured by the CIA. Sonya insists that Fiona cannot become a problem and raises a gun toward her. Michael is then faced with the dilemma that leads into the series finale--does he let Fiona die and complete his conversion from his past life, or does he save Fiona and put himself back at odds with James?
Michael chooses to kill Sonya and save Fiona. James witnesses this from his helicopter becomes enraged, and orders his men to kill Michael and Fiona. Sam and Jesse help Michael and Fiona escape and go on the offensive by tracking down a data center used by James's organization. Michael, Sam, and Fiona steal data that could be used to unravel the entire organization while Jesse is protecting Madeline and Charlie elsewhere.
James arrives to confront Michael and threatens to have everyone killed including Madeline and Charlie. However, Madeline chooses to sacrifice her life to kill James's hit squad and protect Jesse and Charlie. Sam escapes the building while Michael and Fiona engage James and his men the climactic fight of the series.
The fight ends with the explosion of the entire building and the apparent deaths of Michael and Fiona. Later it's revealed that Michael and Fiona are alive, having escaped the building moments before it exploded. In what is presumably Ireland, Michael and Fiona are shown to have settled down with Charlie.
Sam and Jesse are perhaps the only people who know Michael and Fiona are alive as indicated by Sam's comment that they missed a hell of a funeral, and as implied by the fact that Michael and Fiona have Charlie with them despite Charlie having been with Jesse at the time of their presumed deaths.
Having endured a horrible childhood which also involved him suffering regular beatings at the hands of his deceased father, Frank, Michael has become something of a distant character, afraid to commit to a long-term relationship or to let anyone get too close to him. Michael demonstrates indomitable will and resourcefulness to accomplish his goals. He virtually lost everything he worked so hard to build a spy when he was burned such as his official CIA position, finance, reputation, and freedom having been confined to Miami.
Yet he does not douse in self-pity or any destructive behavior but immediately starts building himself to works towards ascertaining the truth behind his burn notice which would take a very long time and many setbacks and failures. Despite, or perhaps because of this, he's a very skilled spy, using his abilities to help others in trouble. Unlike any fellow spies he's met who kill for profit, Michael has a strong sense of empathy and refuses to kill anyone unless it's really necessary--whether in self-defense, or to avoid unacceptable circumstances such as when he shoots Tom Strickler in "Long Way Back" to prevent the probable torture and death of Fiona.
He's also extremely protective of his friends, family and clients, looks after their interests, and is unwilling to let anyone endanger them even if it does mean giving into his enemy's demands sometimes, although he did almost make one exception: when he and his friends needed help from smuggler Calvin Schmidt to leave the country, he almost handed Schmidt over to be tortured and killed by a rival smuggler after learning that Schmidt, knowingly, almost indirectly sent the feds after them, but he suddenly revealed it was a ruse so they could escape.
It was later implied that, although he didn't want to, he would have handed Schmidt over. Michael also has been shown to not be quick to let go of a grudge with someone, especially if they endangered his friends and family and even if they were on his side.
A perfect example is when Virgil Watkins returned to Miami for Mike's help. He told Virgil to stay away from Madeline and not call her until he's back in the Bahamas, showing that he still hadn't forgiven Virgil for putting her life in danger last time he was there. He also was distrustful towards Simon after seeing him again even though they were on the same side.
Michael is highly skilled and extremely clever, displaying his abilities by quickly thinking on his feet, improvising electronic devices from commonly available commercial equipment e. Michael also became an expert martial artist, with around 30 years of training and experience in karate. Westen has also demonstrated proficiency in the Russian martial art Sambo. He has received special operations training, has combat experience on 5 continents, and remarked that he holds "a rating with any weapon that shoots a bullet or holds an edge.
Michael speaks several different accents that help him act out different persona, including Southern accent, Boston accent, Irish accent, New Jersey, and etc. He has shown proficiency and fluency in Russian, Farsi, and Arabic. Throughout the series, Michael has, ironically, shown little to no knowledge of Spanish, but by the time he was sent to the Dominican Republic, he had learned to fluently speak Spanish. Michael has profound knowledge in the art of war that helps him create strategies and tactics in various combat situations such as seizing, breaching, defending, high-speed chasing, and capturing enemies.
Almost more than half of his preformed plans often have to be altered due to unknown factors such as intrusion of new enemy personnel, reduction of collateral damage, or entering unfavorable terrains. He has demonstrated incredible improvisation skills that often turned the tides of the battles. Michael often uses psychological warfare as the key component of his missions. He often prioritizes finding out enemy weaknesses and focuses on intimidating the enemies into hiding or deceives them until they are forced to fight the local law enforcement, rival enemies, or each other.
It is not making a comeback to the channel. Every season of the series is currently available. Most of the shows that you get for free, you will mostly get the entire series. When it launches nationally July 15, Peacock will have two separate tiers of service, both of which will be free to Comcast, as well as Cox, subscribers.
Card games. Why was Michael Westen burned in burn notice? Is there a spinoff of Burn Notice? What season does Jesse come in Burn Notice? Who is James in Burn Notice? Do Michael and Fiona get married? And so the question has been, can he have both? When it comes down to it, if you have these relationships, they can be used against you, and in the face of that, is it worth caring for people?
Is it worth loving people? Is it worth having a family? And I think the answer that the episode gives is definitively yes. And the question in her mind being, is she a coward? So I think that last moment is somewhat a triumphant moment for her. The answer is definitively no, she is not a coward.
She sacrifices herself to save Michael, to save Charlie, to save Jesse, to save everybody. And really to provide the seed of a new family — what you see in the final scene with Michael and Fiona and Charlie off somewhere else in the world, kind of repairing the wrongs of the past. And could a Burn Notice movie be in the works? EW: You mentioned that in the finale we see Michael and Fiona and Charlie off somewhere at the very end.
NIX: It is certainly like Ireland. It is probably Ireland, yes. EW: Did you ever consider having Fiona going back to her Irish accent that we saw her with at the start of the series, or would that have been too jarring for the audience? The idea is they to some extent have left that behind.
Was it your idea to come full circle and give that little nod? NIX: If you go through the episode, everybody gets a nod like that, with saying their little lines from the intro at the top of the episode.
