Ledger Domain

Friends Like These - Michael's got a lot to do this week: get Barry the Money Launderer's client list back, do a shady job for Strickler, c***-block Sam, fix his mom's leaky roof, and get dumped by Fi. You'd be surprised which of those things seems to be the hardest.

Lesser Evil - Seriously, we're asking. Sure, Michael finds a new love (briefly), and Carla's out of the picture, and he finally gets to meet her boss. But this finale left us feeling a little bit at sea.
