- Fi and Sam ask Michael to take a break and let go of the past now that the people who burned him have been brought to justice, but he soon decides to help one of Nate's friends who is being harassed by a loan shark.
- Michael's kid brother Nate is back in Miami, but not just to show off his baby boy. He needs the team to save a rehab mate whose yoghurt bar is cracking under extortion from loan shark Wallace's ambitious lieutenant Carter. Michael works his way in as slick fixer and sets up Carter as undercover cop so Wallace will eliminate him. But instead of the contraband staked by Fiona, Wallace finds proof it's a real FBI agent, so the team must save him.—KGF Vissers
- Michael says the life of a spy precludes other normal human activity, like taking care of a baby. Nate's in town and his baby is crying. Michael thinks it might need medical attention. While Maddy's holding the baby, Nate asks her to support the baby's head a little more. She reminds him she's "done this a couple of times."
In the garage, Michael asks Nate why he moved back to Miami from Vegas. He's been trying to stay clean and is hoping that Michael and Maddy can help. Michael invites Nate to help rebuild the Charger.
Michael and Fi are shopping and she wants to buy him a paper shredder so he can get rid of the old files he used to track down who burned him. He thinks they're being followed. He pulls the guy aside and grabs him by the collar, making a scene and realizing the guy was just shopping with his daughter. Mike's having some "post-operation paranoia," waking up in the middle of the night, pointing his gun at the door when no one is there.
At lunch, Sam brings Michael a gift: a massage gift certificate at the spa where his new girlfriend, Elsa, works. Sam thinks it might help Michael with his "crazy crazy" mental situation. Michael insists he's fine.
Nate asks Michael to help him aid someone whose life is in danger. A woman named Jessica whose dead husband was a gambler and she's being harassed by a loan shark.
Michael meets with her. She says the loan shark says her husband owed a lot of money. The loan shark, Carter, wants her father's boat. Michael tells her not to give Carter the boat. She says she can't pay -- unless free yogurt counts. Michael's in.
Michael and Sam go t a jai alai game to find Carter. They see Carter and his boss, Wallace. Michael's plan is to convince Carter and Wallace that the fishing boat they want is part of a police investigation.
Fi finds Michael putting on an ugly shirt he's borrowed from Nate. Michael confronts Carter and plays another loan shark who's also owed money. He claims he can make cash out of the fishing boat. Michael gets a meeting with the boss and after some resistance gets a chance to do his boat-title magic.
Michael, Sam and Nate meet with Jessica. Michael tells her the plan: He's going to make Carter look like an undercover cop to spook his boss and get Jessica off the hook.
Nate and Michael follow Carter to a motorcycle dealer, where Carter is threatening someone to pay back some owed money. Carter goes in with a gas can and Michael decides to stop Carter from doing further damage by interrupting his collection attempt and giving the victim a chance to run away. Michael tells Carter the fake documents that will get the fishing boat sold are ready. Meanwhile, Nate is planting a GPS tracker on Carter's car.
Back at the loft, Michael is going over the documents Fi wants him to shred, just in case there's still a secret buried in there. When Fi walks in, he hides the documents.
The next day, Michael gives Carter the documents and tries to get Carter to go to the boat with him, but Carter heads home instead (which Michael and Sam see because of the GPS tracker). The problem is that Sam and Fi are at Carter's house trying to plant evidence that makes him look like an undercover cop. Carter gets there and Sam backs his car into Carter's to delay him just long enough to let Fi get out unnoticed.
The gang and Jessica listen in on Carter's conversation with Wallace at the boat, where they planted a bug. Carter is trying to use his seizing of the boat to move up in Wallace's crew. Now Michael and Sam put the next stage of the plan in motion: To give Wallace some bad news about Carter. Jesse is going to be involved.
Michael goes to see Wallace and asks for the papers. He says Carter set them all up and that the boat belongs to the MIami PD. Wallace wants proof -- immediately. They go to the police department and Jesse pretends to be a clerk who has pictures of the boat having been involved in a drug bust. The next stop is Carter's apartment, where Michael tells Wallace to check everywhere for proof that Carter is a cop. Things take a wrong turn, though, when Wallace's men discover that Carter really is a good guy -- he's an undercover FBI agent. Michael is stunned, but does nothing as Wallace and his men take Carter away.
Outside, Michael asks Wallace for some time to ask Carter some questions. Michael calls Fi and Sam to tip them off to the new situation. They make a plan to head off the route where Wallace is taking Carter, who is now stuffed in the trunk with duct tape on his wrists. Michael gets a chance to lean in to the truck, pretending to punch Carter but instead cutting the duct tape and whispering to him that he's also undercover. He tells Carter to "come out swinging" when the trunk opens.
The car pulls off into a wooded area and when Wallace opens the trunk, Carter smacks him with a tire iron and runs off into the trees. Michael and two of Wallace's men give chase. Michael uses his own gunshots to disorient Wallace's guys. Carter keeps running until Sam grabs him and, along with Fi, tells him they're on his side.
Michael gets a second to call Sam and check in on Carter. He's fine, but he's not happy. He's been working on bringing Wallace down for six months and Michael ruined his case. Michael vows to put it back together. He tells Sam to get the cavalry over to Wallace's place. Carter's willing to help.
Michael comes out of the jungle and talks Wallace into going back to his place to get all the cash he's got on-hand so that they can head out to Vegas and get new identities to avoid the fallout from having let Carter go. Wallace packs everything he has and walks outside -- right where loads of FBI agents, including Carter, are waiting with guns drawn.
Carter thanks Michael and Sam for saving his life. Michael's still upset that he nearly got a good man killed.
Jessica gives Michael a "free yogurt for life" card.
Nate has a heart-to-heart with Michael, telling him he thinks he's addicted to finding the people who burned him. Nate says he knows what addiction looks like because he was out gambling when his son was born. He couldn't walk away from his hot streak. Nate tells him no one can make him stop until he's ready, and it doesn't look like he's ready. Nate tells him to see it through -- either he's crazy or his whole experience of getting burned isn't over.
That night, Michael is looking at the documents Fi thought he shredded. She tells him he's never going to answer all the questions and he has to move on. He tells her he just needs one more look. She tells him to come to bed and they'll look at the documents together the next day. He says he'll be right there, but doesn't really move.
