The season picks up exactly where the last season ended. A man named Vaughn (Robert Wisdom) reveals that he arranged for Michael's kidnapping and asks for Michael to help him take down the people responsible for releasing Simon Escher into Miami. Michael accepts Vaughn's request with caution. Michael then returns to find Fiona and Sam mixed up in a case and desperately need Michael's help to protect a lawyer from a group of bikers. After he successfully completes the job, Michael, under Vaughn's orders, unwittingly burns a CIA Counter Intelligence Officer named Jesse Porter.
