OK we all know that season 7 was ALL about Jeffrey Donovan. Basically it was written by Matt Nix to give him an opportunity to demonstrate his amazing acting talent on so many different levels. Seriously that man can make you cry with just a single expression.
This episode is no exception. It delivers on so many levels. For the shippers of Mike and Fi you go from the dizzying highs of flashbacks to their time back in Dublin and Michael using a special phrase to save Fi (in his Irish accent no less) to the HEART CRUSHING ending.
We see Michael struggle with wanting to connect with his mother and friends but knowing that doing so will only put them in danger again.
But outside the above my favourite moment in the episode is when Carlos attacks Michael for letting Fi get kidnapped. The murderous look that Jeffrey delivers at the actor playing Carlos while they tussel is just gut wrenching. You feel all the pain, fear and hatred Michael had deep down in his soul at that moment.
After the disappointment that was the middle and end of season 6 (and there was A lot of it) beginning season 7 like this was a necessity.
