Storyline

Michael's landlord, Oleg, is having a problem with one of his waitresses.

Michael is (mostly) happy to look into it, as he also continues his investigation into who stuck him with his burn notice. Written by Anonymous

18 July 2011 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

Michael attends an international conference at a hotel in order to get the name of the person that has burned him. Later he takes a job his landlord, Oleg, offers him in exchange for 4 months free rent. This job involves a girl who's witnessed a crime who's now afraid to leave her house thus not being able to work for Oleg. Meanwhile, Fi pressures Mike into getting his deceased dad's car (and a key to his apartment), which is another whole bag of trouble.A pretty decent episode and ,in my mind at least, a marked improvement on the first two episodes of the series. only downside being not much of Bruce Campbell this time out.

My Grade: B+
