Storyline

Edit

Sam helps Mike identify Diego Garza as a CIA operative in Miami by spotting his cover firm airplane. Before then can force his hand, hoping to get Mike back in the game, they are spotted themselves by mathematical genius Spencer Watkowski. He has a loony theory about aliens, but also makes predictions and proves his colleague Brad was murdered. Mike's team checks out their employer, a firm which sells encryption to secret government agencies, and confirm the manager is copying the software keys, worth a fortune to state enemies. —KGF Vissers

Trivia
Burn Notice's main protagonist Michael Westen (played by Jeffrey Donovan) meets real-life guest star Michael Weston (who plays the mentally-disturbed client Spencer). Weston's birth name was Michael Rubenstein, as he is actor John Rubenstein's son.

Goofs
When referring to the "bug" or phone that Michael gives Shannon at the marina, Sam uses the term "10 by 10" in regards to the audio quality. This term is inaccurate for a retired 'Navy Seal'. Sam should have instead said "5 by 5"; meaning that the signal and clarity of the transmission were loud and clear since the scale rating was from 1-5 -- 1 being the worst; 5 being the best.
