At the end of the episode, Fiona says she can't leave to hit Carla's base of operations because she painted her toenails and she just needs five more minutes for them to dry--so Michael touches her nails to mess them up, and glibly says she'll have to do it all over again anyway, so there's no reason not to leave now.

* TheSchlubPubSeductionDeduction: Michael pegs the safecracker Gilbert as the weakest link of Timo's crew, since he's out on parole after three DUI convictions. So Fiona comes on to Gilbert at a cafe, intending to get him drinking again (and then arrested for it). Unusually for Hollywood, and for men more generally, Gilbert immediately catches on that Fiona isn't really into him, and refuses to sit at the same table as her.

** Michael's first plan is to get the weakest link in the crew arrested, on the assumption that this setback will make Timo call off the heist. He does successfully get Gilbert arrested--but Timo refuses to cancel and instead searches for a replacement safecracker.
** For plan B, Michael infiltrates the crew as the replacement safecracker, intending to learn which business Timo's planning to rob so he can tip them off beforehand. This gets complicated when he learns CJ is working there as Timo's inside man. Now Mike needs more time to figure out how to tip off the business without CJ and Timo finding who blew the whistle. And then before Mike can figure that out, Timo announces the heist is ''on''.
** So at the last minute, Mike comes up with a plan to disrupt the heist as it's happening, and prevent Timo from ever bothering Trevor again, without the rest of the crew suspecting Mike or Trevor. And of course, this is the plan that works without a hitch.
