When I first read the blurb for this episode, I thought, oh no, not this tired cliché again. Seems like every drama series has to have ONE episode where the heroes are in a bank and taken as hostages along with all the other innocent bystanders. And then they get to use their special skills to help everyone survive. I call it the "Dog Day Afternoon Cliché." And I nearly skipped the episode because of my expectations. But of course this is Burn Notice, so there has to be a twist: As it turns out, Sam and Michael ARE the hostage takers! Inadvertently, of course, but that's how they have to play it. Way to keep if fresh, guys! Another great must-see episode.

Great development of characters

I really liked this episode. Patty (Rhea Seehorn) Frank ( Josh Wagner) and Nick (Clayton Rohner) really brought some good characters to this episode. It all felt real and sincere with Patty being duped by her crappy boss and then Frank coming in to be some sort of a sad hero type of character. All three of these actors made this episode and that is why I tend to watch this show. They manage to secure good talent for all of the parts....oh....I also really liked the Lieutenant (James Kelly). The producers managed to bring talent in that felt real and not as if I was watching a show. Hats off to Rhea Seehorn for looking so good and still being covered in sweat.
