A “Fearless Leader” Coming Up

Since NYPD Blue alum Nicholas Turturro (pictured at right above) is set to guest star on tonight’s new episode of Burn Notice as a character named Tommy, it’s safe to assume more good times are ahead for fans of summer’s hottest show.

During “Fearless Leader,” Michael tries to evade the persistent scrutiny of Detective Paxson (Moon Bloodgood) and her cop colleagues by associating with a criminal so bad he’s among Miami’s most wanted crooks, and I’d bet money the guy is the previously mentioned Tommy.

Michael’s not the only one with problems this time around, however, because Sam also encounters an Internal Revenue Service agent who just happens to be a former girlfriend’s child. I wonder if the dude is thinking an audit is appropriate punishment for some sin Sam committed against his mother long ago. Sounds like pretty effective torture to me.

And while we’re on the subject of pain, check out the following episode stills for “Fearless Leader,” which immediately got my fashion sense all up in arms. Gabrielle Anwar‘s Fiona Glenanne is obviously a “Fashion Oh Yes!” Although you can’t see in the photo below, the outfit is actually a cute and very adult romper-style shorts get-up. She looks fabulous.

Then we have Bloodgood’s Detective Paxson, another “Fashion Oh Yes!” I’m especially partial to the waistband accessories, particularly the larger one right under her hand.

Finally, Jeffrey Donovan‘s poor Michael Westen, an indisputable “Fashion Yikes!” or “Fashion Oh No He Didn’t!” Sadly, I know exactly the look they’re going for here since I’ve seen it too many times before. Let’s all just hope the duds — pun very much intended — are for undercover work and are not an extremely regrettable new wardrobe direction.

The fashion show is over, so check out a sneak peek and the promo for the latest episode of Burn Notice now. The first video needs only a three-word description: Fiona in action. It doesn’t get much better than that.
