Ep 4. Fearless Leader

Michael is approached by a group of college students who are being scammed by a con artist posing as a dorm room rental agent. The scam artist relies on his team to trick the students into giving them money upfront in exchange for access to the rooms, only to disappear shortly afterward without providing any housing. Michael realizes that the scam artist has perfected his con routine and is always one step ahead of his victims. The scam artist even has a fake company and website that lend credibility to his scheme.

Michael takes it upon himself to make things right for the students, and together with Fiona, he sets out to track down the con artist. As Michael digs deeper into the con artist's operations, he realizes that the scammer is no ordinary criminal. He discovers that the scammer has put together a team of professionals committed to making as much money as possible from their schemes.

Michael realizes that the only way he can bring the scam artist to justice is by infiltrating his team. With Fiona's help, he poses as a potential team member and manages to impress the con artist. Michael's instincts and excellent people skills allow him to join the team and work his way up to a position of trust. However, as he gains the con artist's admiration, he comes to realize the dangers of crossing the line between right and wrong.

Meanwhile, Sam agrees to aid a wealthy businessman with a threatening stalker problem. The businessman, who has been receiving death threats, enlists Sam to help protect him, but soon realizes that Sam's methods are not typical of other private investigators. Sam's tactics are much more hands-on, and he does not shy away from using his fists. When Sam's plan goes awry, he finds himself blindsided by a surprising turn of events that puts him in harm's way.

Along the way, Michael's friend and former blind spot, Larry, resurfaces, and it's unclear what he wants from Michael this time around. As Michael navigates the complexities of his new criminal lifestyle, he must also keep an eye on Larry, who has never been one to play by the rules.

As the episode unfolds, Fiona struggles with the realities of Michael's undercover work and wonders why she is only allowed to play a small part in the operation. Michael reminds her that her freedom and safety are his top priority, and that he cannot take any chances that might jeopardize their future together.

In the end, Michael's ability to outmaneuver the con artist and his team pays off as he triumphantly leads the police to the scammer's lair. Sam, who has also successfully neutralized the stalker on his own terms, manages to avoid any major conflicts despite his unconventional approach.

As the team of scammers is rounded up and brought to justice, Michael reflects on his experience and the grey areas of morality he was forced to navigate. He wonders if he has what it takes to continue walking the line between right and wrong, or if it's time for him to start playing things safer. Ultimately, Michael knows that he can always rely on Fiona, who has proven to be his rock, to help him make the right call.
