Zen,he was on a job when he went to arrange a wire transfer he didn't have access to his accounts. He had to run, but he called his handler and couldn't get through and found out he was burned.

Then he was thrown on a plane, passed out, and Fiona got him to a hotel. Since he's burned he has no passport, no drivers license, all his accounts are gone, they erased his credit history, he has no employment history stuff like that. AND he's got the FBI watching him at all times, so I guess he could make a fake id and get on a plane but it seems that the FBI would stop him some how.

They make it sound like burning is a thing that happens and I 'm not sure what happens to most spies when they are burned by Michael is determined to find out who did this to him and then either get his life back or get revenge, I'm not sure (I'm not sure he knows).

Now it's not the FBI watching him but (I think) the NSA.

I'm watching the episode of MI-5 where Tom's crazy ex-girlfriend gets kidnapped by the CIA.

Good times.

Army Wives: Wow. Ummm, is season 2 next summer?

I'm guessing that Amanda is a goner for sure and then for everyone else it's a crap shoot.

Okay, wait. So he was a spy who got outed? Why didn't they just kill him? Either the enemy or his handlers? Seems he's a liability now; why would they just drop him off in Miami?

And thus you have the story arc of the show.

I was less enthused about BN this week, at least until we got to the bit where the dude almost kills Michael. Pulling the gun out of the cabinet beneath the sink was very clever.

I didn't quite buy the gun under the cabinet just happened to be hidden at just the right spot, unless he's got weapons concealed every five feet in the apartment. Which is possible, I suppose. But that's okay. Also, I think the garrote mark went across the wrong part of his neck, but that's okay too.

Must remember to set the Tivo for BN when I get home.

Except that I think we don't get BN this week - due to the US Open.

Yes, no BN this week, tennis instead.

yeah, I would think that a spy who knows that people might kill him at any moment would have weapons hidden all over the place. I do kind of miss the shotgun at the door.

If it were me, I would be armed at all times. I'd have a gun, a knife, and a couple big scary dogs in the freakin' shower.

heh. Did you see the one where he and Fiona were aprawled asleep in bed, there was a slight noise, and both of them were immediately awake and pointing guns?
