USA Press Release: BURN NOTICE returns for its fourth season on June 3 to heat up Thursdays at 9/8c on USA Network. The #1 scripted series on cable in 2009 continues to be one of the hottest shows on television. Paired with the new #1 show of 2009, ROYAL PAINS at 10/9c, the two shows make up one of television’s coolest and most powerful block of summer programming on cable or broadcast. FRIENDS AND ENEMIES Premieres Thursday, June 3, 2010 Michael helps Fiona and Sam protect a lawyer against the city's most dangerous biker gang. Meanwhile, he must team up with an unlikely ally to stop a looming terrorist threat... but quickly finds that no mission is without its price.
BURN NOTICE returns for a fourth season this week and get ready for a compelling episode that is jam packed with the action that you expect but I bet you didn’t expect them to get a little risqué in the fashion department with the adornment of chaps. Yes, you read that right, leather chaps are involved so you will have to tune in to see who is sporting them…Sam, Michael, Fiona or Madeline. Seriously though, when we last left Michael Westen (JEFFREY DONOVAN) he was taken and was being held captive in a room and that is exactly where the season premiere starts out. You get to spend some quality time with Michael as he puts together information by doing some light reading and tangerine tossing. Michael is feeling lovely while spending time with some gun enthusiast monkeys. His lodging and dodging is top notch. Michael takes the time to say he is sorry and gets offered the catch of the day.
Fiona (GABRIELLE ANWAR) and Sam (BRUCE CAMPBELL) are full of bad ideas when trying to protect a client from the Breakers, a biker gang. It is realized that every gang, “Needs a little Michael Westen.” Three to one doesn’t always mean success in a gun show. Cults and bad marriages are hard to deal with but Barry works his magic. Michael can be considered the Robin Hood of spies and he comes up with another plan, a B Plan but hey sometimes that is all that is available. Negotiations are complicated and by the end of the episode poor Michael is slapped, kissed, hugged, punched, shot at and even ends up ridding piggyback. Sam ends up being the man with the plan and it will end in either ink or death. Michael has a heart to heart and then ends up doing something unfortunate. Oh and Madeline (SHARON GLESS) is still smoking.
Watch BURN NOTICE and delve into the glory of all the action that can fit into an hour of television. BURN NOTICE THURSDAYS 9PM EST ON USA NETWORK!!!!
