Back when I lived in Miami, we would have done about anything. Apparently, so would Sam Axe, who drags Michael Westen into a deal to help a former Dolphin (famed football wide receiver Michael Irvin), who now coaches a group of at-risk Overtown youth--with the promised Dolphin tickets as reward. One of his players, Corey, has run afoul of a car theft ring run by a "stone-cold gangsta"named Felix. Felix is so angry at Corey that he has abducted and attacked Corey's sister, Tanya. Michael agrees to help.

When Corey and Tanya are taken for safety to Michael's loft, he discovers that Fiona has completely bypassed his desire to help with her own. She's practically rabid as she insists she is going to help this pair against the assaulter. When he cautions her about letting her emotions interfere, she lets him have it with both barrels--her emotions are her best weapon, and they're carrying the day, she assures him. Her plan? A new gang of car thieves is coming to town.

Fiona, Sam and Michael look very sharp as this gang in fashionable black and white, a uniform of sorts. Michael's voiceover reminds us that armies wear uniforms because they suggest organization, and instill fear. Fear is a formidable weapon, he adds.

They drop a pepper grenade in Felix's car and shoot up his car, melt right through his cherry GTO's hood with a thermite device. and tell him he need to get out of Miami. This word gets around, even back to coach Martin. Sam warns the coach he might need to hide.

As Corey and Tanya hole up with Michael's mother, Michael and Fi lovingly build a bomb--what a SWAT team would call a hockey puck-- with an almost foreplay-like banter. They take it to the club where Felix and the crew are licking their wounds, blow the back door and launch an attack, warning Felix he's got 48 hours. Felix doesn't take people in suits very seriously.

Michael's actions come to the attention of Felix's boss, Tony Soto. We learn how to take $150,000 cars and fix their paperwork and markings to be able to sell them. We see Michael's team impress Tony. We learn how to bulletproof a car with commercial Yellow Pages and foam. We see Michael and the gang set Felix up so Tony goes after him. We've seen all this before.

What we haven't seen is the wistful reminiscing of Fiona, as she confesses she fell in love with a man named Michael McBride --one of Michael's first undercover assignments. As Michael slips into a to-die-for Irish brogue, he reminds her the two of them "caused a lot of mayhem." She even moons over a Chinese cookie fortune that tells her "The one you love is closer than you think."

The one who's on Michael's tail is closer than they think as well, and Carla is looking a bit out on the raggedy edge as she keeps prodding Michael to find the person who tried to blow him up. She lets it slip that a series of bombs has taken out not only the scheduled assassin Michael knew about but also others. Michael uses her to gain some information, but keeps her in the dark about what he and Fiona learn.

Fiona, meantime, tracks down the bomber by impersonating a woman putting together a sexy demolitions men calendar. She finds the right one and sneaks into his house over Michael's objection. The house goes up in flames just before Michael arrives on the scene, desperately calling her phone again and again but getting no answer. Has her new twitterpated state allowed her caution to dip below the level a spy needs to be safe? Has Michael's renewed feeling for her just served to open up old wounds and create new ones? Does anyone care if the Dolphins play football any more?
