Actress Begins Multi-Episode Arc

Burn Notice is off to a rip-roaring good start after last week’s Season Three premiere, and now the hot/hit/hip (take your pick or all of the above) show welcomes Moon Bloodgood (Terminator Salvation, Journeyman, Day Break) to the fold, if only for a a plotline that extends across several episodes.

Tonight’s (June 11) “Question and Answer” introduces Bloodgood’s character Detective Paxson, a new opponent for Michael Westen (Jeffrey Donovan) after she picks up his scent while investigating the explosives Michael has been trying to hide (guess that didn’t go too well) in a storage facility. Paxson’s ability to locate the weapons forces Team Michael to hurry up and attempt to move them somewhere else (hopefully better concealed) before the lady detective obtains a warrant to search their current location.

And while all that drama is going on, the team also prepares to rescue a young hostage by using a tricky (what else?) procedure called reverse interrogation. Sounds fun!

Check out USA Network’s Burn Notice on Thursdays in its new one-hour earlier time slot of 9pm ET. A promo and sneak peek at the latest episode follows, the second featuring a scene with newcomer Bloodgood, which describes her as Michael’s Worst Nightmare. Uh-oh.
