Complete story — includes the ending

As Michael is going through the process of being cleared for a return to action by the CIA, Anson sends him on a mission to Puerto Rico to obtain a copy of a computer program that will wipe out any trace of Anson's existence. Michael and Fi abduct the creator and bring him to Miami to track down his program, but he tells them it's locked in a government lab and they're not the only ones after it. Using one of the facility's security features to their advantage, the team makes a deal with the programmer's enemy to retrieve the program and make a copy while making sure he's the only one who gets caught. At the same time, Sam and Jesse work with Maddie to see if the police are looking at Fi yet, only to discover that Anson really is holding all the cards, which, along with Michael's new CIA status, he intends to wield against him to turn him into a double agent.
