Burn Notice: Season 3, Episode 7

3 - 7: Shot in the Dark

While Strickler still tries to convince Michael to work for him, Michael attempts to find out whether Strickler is as connected as he says he is. Michael runs into a boy trying to steal one of Fiona's guns. After hearing him out, Michael decides to help the boy get rid of his abusive stepfather, Erik Luna. Erik's brother Quinn has built a business empire (cover for smuggling operations) using Erik as a public relations face. Michael finds out about Erik's side business not known by his brother (luxury car smuggling) and poses as an unsatisfied customer to approach Erik. Michael with the help of Sam and Fiona manages to convince Quinn that Erik is mentally ill. Quinn sends his brother to a mental institution. Strickler offers Michael the chance to work together in exchange for Strickler clearing his burn notice.
