Fantastic BN season finale as always! Surely Fiona's reaction to Michael's news is not surprising? He has chosen to get sucked back into the vortex that is the CIA...she is devastated and feels betrayed for good reason! He made another martyr/saviour decision but not solely for them, for himself as well. Namely, he's taken the Matrix 'blue pill', he really can't see life outside the CIA, sigh. All the hard-core loyalty his team has shown...they'd rather be locked up than see Michael jumping back down the rabbit hole...grrr Michael, you frustrate us yet we love you...:)

Great but doesn't make up for the filler and plot dragging episodes.

I am concerned because of one odd thing...forever whenever Michael has returned to the CIA he still wears his lighter colored suits...today he was in not only a dark suit but one not Miami appropriate at all. I have a feeling he actually didn't take over Card or Olivia's job..I suspect he is working under the deal that Bly worked out for him and he is now CSS (whatever that is). I think Fiona was so upset because he promised her (and I might suspect there could be another reason she is so emotional....). But yeah..he traded his life for theirs and I think he was taking Sam's drugged out words to heart together with the more sober advice of mazking things right I suspect he wanted to tell her alone because he knew she either wouldn't react in front of them or one of them would try and reason with her.

Definitely. Michael has sold his soul to the CIA in exchange for the teams freedom and names to be cleared...but where does that leave the team and Michael? Michael took the deal becausebhe felt like he had no choice...or maybe he didn't. Maybe he wanted his old life back. Who knows.

I am pretty sure the CIA has proposed a deal that if michael runs things than the laws broken by his friends will be forgiven. I think Fi gave that reaction because mike acted like he had to take the deal instead of admitting he wanted to run the CIA... but I'm sure he still has some higher up the ladder... but someone as good as michael westen.. no government is going to throw him away... and I also believe it is a permanent position not just a year re-enlistment...

Judging from the suit..looks like he gave his soul back to the CIA in exchange for the teams freedom. More than likely next season will be revolved around getting himself out the hole he just dug deeper for himself. Losing Fiona and the teams trust and loyalty hes gonna have to fight to get it back. Jefferey Donovan did say there would be a huge betrayal...and we saw one. He did something he thought would make everything better but didn't. Michael is now CIA...that i can gaurantee..but at what cost? I think next season is basically Michael earning his friends back..and gettinf himself out of this hole thats so deep..and finding that life that the entire team wants...freedom. REAL FREEDOM. Not just from jail..but from the whole thing.

The reaction was because this started in panama. Michael has been lying to them all the entire time! He set this whole thing up... So frustrating we have to wait till summer to see how this pans out !

The reason Fiona freaked is because she wants mike out. That's the only real thing she's wanted throughout this series and it looked like she was within grasp of getting it in panama when mike said when that mission was done he was done. Now fi got the rug pulled out from under her again and it seems Mike is in deeper than he's ever been.

I was so confused by Fiona's reaction I ended up here looking for a second opinion. Although if he is taking up Card's old position I'm sure the deal is for longer than a year. Still, no reason there for Fiona to act like he'd just sold them out. It must be something darker. Something we aren't going to like. Something he'll need a whole season to dig his way out of. Again.
