Who honestly thought that Michael would capture Matt's killer, retire from the CIA and live happily ever after with Fiona while getting killer suntans on the beach? This show has always had the juxtaposition of Michael trying to get back on the right side of things while taking side jobs to rescue people.
Card seemed so sincere with his bottle-breaking speech that we never suspected his motives. I'm along for the ride as long as Matt Nix wants to continue this series. I don't believe any of it, but I don't care.

The one thing we found out for sure in this episode is that Sharon Gless deserves an Emmy. I don't often cry while watching a TV show but Ms. Gless had me sobbing. While watching, she stopped being an actress and became the mother of a murdered child. Unbelievable performance.

Don't get me wrong, but does anyone else think there is no where else for this show to go since Michael knows who burned him and now the possibility of him getting out of the CIA?
I think it's possible Card was in with Anson or part of "Management" .......I guess now the thing will be figuring out exactly why they want Michael dead. It's going to be interesting to see what the gang does with Gray.
I think Sharon Gless deserves an Emmy for her performance in this episode.
I think Jeffrey Donovan deserves one for his performance in the episode where him and Fiona first saw one another after her going to jail.

Keeping with a Clint Eastwood theme:
The good: it was an exciting episode where Brady Pressman showed some moxy as a field agent and absolute honor in death. That was the best scene.
The bad: Jesse doing a John McClain impression with no shoes. There are 3 million terrorists in the world and Jesse had to pick one who has smaller feet than his sister when he finally gets a pair. I'm guessing his joke about picking glass out of his foot was Nix's attempt at humor, but it just wasn't funny.
The ugly: Brain Drain yet again. Once the death squad knew exactly where to find Michael & Co. for the ambush either Brady or Card had to be dirty because they are the only two people at the CIA that knew enough about the operation so that Tyler Gray could locate the gang. At this point I kinda guessed the ending.
My best guess is that Card was a member of management, or more likely was also being blackmailed by Anson. When Anson popped up on the CIA's radar Card had him taken out and

Remember that Matt Nix said that Anson was the end of the line for the people that burned him. But, that doesn't mean it's the end of the people who want Michael out of the way.
I suspect Card's motives for wanting him dead is not what we think they might be.

The Card reveal does make sense, we just don't understand WHY he did it. He might be in league with Management or the CIA might have turned on Michael and the team. So many possibilities! :D

Great episode except the Card reveal didn't make sense and not in a good way.

Why card why?? I love seeing just how far deep the rabbitt hole goes. Honest to god I thought the backstaber would be Jesse. The scenes with mama Weston were golden. I love this show. I thought we'd have to wait till next year for new episodes glad its only till November. USA has the best one, two punch in all of televison with burn notice and suits I'd really hate to see them split up.

Now our gang is stuck in Panama. What in the hell will they do now? They are pretty resourceful they will figure out something.
Can anyone tell me if Tom Card has been in play since the beginning of this series?
At least it's a short wait till November...............then my guess is after that we'll have to wait till summer........
Excellent episode. Can't wait for Michael to get his hands on Card.

I was shocked, but not a good shocked.
It just doesn't make any sense.
