believes that she had been killed in the fire, and discovers her alive and well at his apartment, albeit without a cellphone that was destroyed. Realizing that Michael was on the verge of a breakdown over her possible death, the two make love. In the end after everyone believed they were dead Michael and Fiona are seen in what seems to be a beautiful cottage in Ireland. The two are raising Charlie as their son. Michael worries about what he will tell Charlie when he is older and Fiona tells him to tell Charlie the truth. He asks "where would I start" and she tells him to start from the beginning and she tells him to start with "My name is Michael Westen. I used to be a spy".

His mother in particular is at times demanding and a valuable asset, and has recently been used to conduct initial surveillance.

When Michael and Sam attempt a rescue, Fiona is shot in the arm when she jumps off the pier to escape the gunfire. Michael panics when he sees Fiona float to the surface unconscious
