The episode starts out with a recap of recent events in previous episodes.

Then we see Madeline at home struggling with Benny’s death despite the relationship being a lie. This was filmed on set in the studio.

Then we see Fiona with a rifle and Jesse with a spotting scope in a very exposed position that even the dumbest of rookies would not select. Very unrealistic. This was filmed atop the lower section of 800 Brickell Avenue. This location was first made famous in the teaser of The Great McCatrthy. Episode 8 of Miami Vice.

They are observing a meeting between Michael and Anson. In reality Michael and Anson are 11.39 miles to the west. Their meeting was filmed at the Management and Advanced Research Center on the Campus of Florida International University. We have seen this campus used previously in Double Booked, Eyes Open, and Eye For An Eye. Miami Vice also filmed on campus at the Sunblazer Arena when it first opened for the episode, The Fix.

Act 1 opens at Carlito’s. Filmed on set at the rear of the studio.

Then we see some random exterior establishing shots for the Cayman Islands. Locations unknown but not Florida.

Then we return to Florida filming as we see Fiona and Jesse on the ground in Grand Cayman. In reality this was filmed on the often used Espanola Way at Drexel Avenue. This exact location was made famous in the Miami Vice episode, The Good Collar.

Then we see Sam meet with at Carlito’s. Filmed on set at the rear of the studio.

Then we see Sam at a nice home. This is actually footage inserted from episode 36, Friends Like These. Filmed on location at 3560 Stewart Avenue, Coconut Grove.

Beatriz finds Sam at Carlito’s which leads us to her hotel room. This was filmed on location in a familiar location, 7400 Ocean Terrace, Miami Beach. First seen in the Miami Vice episode, The Maze. Burn Notice has used it several times including in episode 28-Lesser Evil,17-Scatter Point and 76-Breaking Point.

They go to leave but there is a sniper atop the building to the south, 7353 Collins Avenue. We just saw this location in episode 76, Breaking Point, where Fiona approached Anson’s car to place a tracker on it. We also saw it Previously in episode 17-Scatter Point.

They escape west on 74th Street and then turn south on Ocean Terrace.

Then we cut back to Michael’s loft. Filmed on set at the studio.

Then Michael meets with Anson. I am 99% sure that this was filmed at Tapas and Tintos, 448 Espanola Way but I will have to go there to confirm it 100%.

Then we return to “Grand Cayman” to see Fiona and Sam put their plan into action. This was filmed on Espanola way. They are sitting outside 508 Espanola Way.

Then we see Michael meet with Anson again. To film this scene we have returned to the Florida International University Campus outside the Management and Advanced Research Center.

Then we see Anson and Michael on the hunt for Oscar, the spy who was exposed by Beatriz. Location unknown.

Then we return to the loft. Filmed on set at the studio.

Then we see Jesse and Fiona in Grand Cayman going to collect Anson’s money. In reality this was filmed in Coconut Grove close to the studio. It was filmed at Plymouth Congregational Church, 3400 Devon Road. Special thanks to Harold Loeser who found this filming location and let me know so I could share the information here. Thanks again Harold.

Then they get the money. This was filmed at E.G. Sewell Park. You may remember this location from episode 9, Hard Bargain.

They head north on NW 18th Avenue and the new Florida Marlins Stadium can be seen in the background where the Orange Bowl use to stand.

Michael pushes the car into a fake planter constructed for the show at the intersection of NW 18th Avenue and NW 11th Street. This is the same location where we saw Fiona cut off the Corvette in episode 23- Hot Spot.

Then we see a trailer on the Beach. This was filmed somewhere on Miami Beach but I have not tracked down the exact location yet.

Then we go inside the trailer. This is a different, but similar trailer that was cut in half and placed inside the studio for easier filming. Filmed on set at the studio.

Then we see a brief but interesting shot. Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park at the southern tip of Key Biscayne. We see the safe house from the Miami Vice episode, Hit List/Calderone’s Return part 1. What we do not see is the light house. They have removed it from the footage!

Sam and Beatriz remain under fire as Michael and Anson return to the River Oaks Marina and Tower parking garage to pick up Michael’s car.

Then we see re-used clips from Past and Future tense of the Charger by Miami-Homestead Speedway.
