Complete story — includes the ending

Sam reunites with his friend Beatriz (Ilza Rosario; from Burn Notice: The Fall of Sam Axe ) to save her from someone who is after her for an article she wrote, and, at Sam's suggestion, Michael brings Anson in to assist. Michael learns it's a Russian spy she outed and, under Anson's probing observation, he and Sam track the man to flush him out of hiding before he can kill her. Eventually, Michael realizes the only way to get him out of her life is to talk with the guy's handler, who's aware of Michael and isn't interested in his involvement, and have him tell his asset to stand down. Later, Jesse and Fi return from the Cayman Islands with Anson's fortune, after faking the death of a banker they blackmailed, but the team's latest hope of shaking off Anson are dashed when he makes the feds believe Sam's betrayed his country. Fi suggests she leave Miami, but Michael, who continues to learn about Anson's role in his life, remains unwilling to let her go.
