Michael and Sam meet with Barry after asking him to track down the account number Michael got from Derek Poole. During lunch, Michael notices how strangely Barry is acting and realizes he is being recorded. Suddenly, the government agent responsible reveals himself - Agent Jason Bly, the troublesome agent whom Michael blackmailed in Season 1. Though Michael wishes to use the blackmail materials to destroy Bly's career, Bly has an effective counter-measure (explaining his return): he has discovered Barry's illegal investigation efforts and threatens to expose Michael's ties to Barry unless Michael forfeits the materials. Locked in a stalemate, Bly once again tries to make Michael's life miserable, and so Michael focuses his effort on a new job to help a woman deal with a stalker - Tom Prescott. While in the private bank where the woman works, awaiting Prescott, Bly once again confronts Michael. No sooner have they agreed to destroy one other than Prescott arrives. But Prescott is not a stalker: he is a bank robber. Prescott and a gang of professional armed thieves take everyone hostage, including Michael and Bly. Initially, Bly is resistant to working with Michael; acting independently, he tries to get the upper-hand on the robbers by attacking one of them. In response, Prescott shoots him in the arm, which sends Michael into action. Claiming to be doctor and, after managing to contact Sam for help (meanwhile comically interrupting his latest date), he begins to subtly sabotage Prescott's robbery efforts (with Bly's eventual assistance), giving them the impression they are having a serious case of bad luck. On Michael's cue, Sam tracks down Prescott's getaway boat and subdues one of Prescott's awaiting men. He then forces the man him to make a fake radio transmission to the remaining team, implying Sam is the mysterious owner of the bank they are robbing and is attacking their operation. The bank robbers, already decimated and paranoid by Michael's sabotage efforts, begin to crack. The conflict reaches its climax when Fiona blows up the getaway truck; Prescott and his remaining men hold one other hostage, the crisis ending when Prescott shoots and kills his remaining men and attempts to escape on his own, only to be captured immediately by arriving police. Michael and Bly, by this time, have developed a grudging mutual respect and so agree not to ruin each other's lives. In exchange for the blackmail materials, Bly agrees to release Barry and to use CSS resources to locate information on the account number. Bly reports that not only is there no name on the account, but someone (either Barry or Bly himself) accidentally tripped a security program linked to it. Whoever owns this account now knows Michael is looking into it. Bly then departs, this time on good terms with Michael. 
"Truth & Reconciliation"
Michael, after spending a great deal of money, has finally tracked down Gustavo, the Cayman Islands bank manager who managed the mysterious account, and arranges to meet him in a parking garage to give him a cash bribe (presumably the cash earned in Episode 12) in exchange for more information. However, the man who meets him is an impersonator, the real Gustavo having been murdered after the account holder learned of Michael's attempt to get information about the account. The man Michael meets is an assassin and during their fight, he stumbles over the wall of the parking structure, falling several stories to his death. Now, Michael asks Fiona to pressure her trafficking contacts for details on how the assassin was smuggled into the United States. Meanwhile, Michael is approached by Claude Laurent, a Haitian national whose daughter Veronique had been imprisoned and executed after speaking out against Jean-Pierre Duman, a corrupt Haitian government official who, along with his family (obviously modelled on the Duvalliers), had ruled over Haiti with an iron fist until being forced to flee after stealing most of the island's money. Laurent tries to convince Michael to try to expose Duman's true identity and, after an attack of conscience, Michael agrees. Initially, Michael tries to bluff Duman into giving him information on his true name, claiming to be an agent of Flintridge Industries - the corporation which, being just as corrupt, worked with the Duman family while they were in power, and so Michael is there to make Duman's family's alibi secure when it appears the FBI is investigating them (really FBI Agents Lane and Harris; convinced by Sam to bend protocol and help them expose Duman in exchange for the potential career boost expected from Duman's capture). Just when it seems Michael will succeed in his bluff, Duman's tyrannical father Sebastien reveals himself and, having contacts in Flintridge, knows Michael is lying. After escaping, though losing the information, Michael resorts to simple kidnapping. With the unofficial and behind-the-scenes aid of Lane and Harris, Michael has Duman sent back to Haiti where many people await to confirm his identity and send him to trial. Later, Michael and Fiona prepare an assault on the storage container the assassin used as a base of operations, and they give chase to a man already waiting there for them. The man gets away, but before escaping, he reveals himself as Victor (from Episode 6). 
"Sins of Omission"
Samantha (Dina Meyer), Michael's ex-fiance, shows up at his loft to plea for help; her son was kidnapped by a black market trader. Samantha was blackmailed into stealing an expensive, valuable military chip. When Samantha's son, Charlie, is rescued, it is revealed that Charlie is not Michael's son; Samantha had let Michael believe that Charlie might be his to secure his help. The trader, Brennen (Jay Karnes), is an ex-spy who became disillusioned, went rogue and was burned. Michael and Fiona try to con Brennen into giving them the chip, but eventually must convince him that giving them the chip to return to its high-security facility is his only option. Michael and Samantha manage to replace the chip using several explosive devices thus ensuring that the chip will never be missed. Samantha leaves Miami with Charlie, and Michael admits to Fiona that the reason he broke up with Samantha was that he loved Fiona more. Later, Michael manages to arrange a meeting with Victor, but both men get into a fight so Michael incapacitates and captures Victor. 
"Lesser Evil"
Michael, Fiona and Sam have Victor locked up in an old factory. They interrogate him and he tells Michael about files he has in his hideout located on a boat. They find out that while Victor was staying in Mexico, Carla had his wife and 4 year old son killed, and he was burned. Victor tells Sam that Carla and her men will go after Michael's family, so Mike sends Sam to get his mother and take her out of the city. Michael and Victor are left alone in the factory; when Carla's men arrive, they are chased throughout Miami but they manage to elude them. Michael and Victor decide to leave the city for Cuba and go to his boat. When Victor goes out to start it, one of Carla's snipers shoots him. Carla calls Michael and tells him that she will blow up the boat if he doesn't kill Victor. Carla is about to blow up the boat when Fiona shoots and kills her, then turns to Sam (who was standing right next to her) and says, "Finally." Victor tells Michael that he will die either way and tells Mike to shoot him so that "Management" will spare him. Before Mike kills him, Victor warns him to get out of the spy business while he still can. Michael comes out of the boat and gets on a helicopter with the head of Carla's business, referred to only as Management. The helicopter flies out into the middle of the ocean and Management (John Mahoney) tells Michael that he has a job opening for him, and if he refuses, his organization will stop protecting Michael and his family from his many enemies. Michael tells him, "I'll take my chances," jumps out of the helicopter, and begins the long swim back to Miami.
