Burn Notice/Heartwarming

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • In the season three finale, Madeline gets one of these when she defends her son to some FBI agents in the face of some pretty damning evidence. That she comes off as the most Badass person in the room helps.
  • She gets another in the next episode, when Michael, distraught by Simon's predictions that Michael will become He Who Fights Monsters, breaks down while explaining it to her. In spite of her fears about her son's work, Madeline hugs him and reassures him that he's a good man.
  • Sam in the season one finale, sending a coded message in his hostage proof-of-life photo to Michael and Fiona . . . not to come rescue him. Michael, of course, comes anyway.
  • Maddie coming back from Tampa in "Guilty as Charged", because Michael asked her, and staying to convince Jesse not to shoot Michael.
  • While perhaps not your normal definition of heartwarming, but Maddie chewing out Jesse and Michael at the same time and speaking to them as family (to her, to each other).
  • Fiona playing toy soldiers with the little boy who might be dying in "Do No Harm". "You're going to need some tactical support," indeed. D'awwwwww...
    • And later in the same episode, when a female medical scam artist is laughing about comforting the parents of the children she's allowed to die, Fiona can't stop herself from beating the woman up. So heartwarming in a very Fiona way.
