First off, this is for the following bingo squares:

Secondly, I feel I should explain the song's title as well as the clip.

"Wrenning Day" isn't literally about wrenning, but it's probably a reference to traditions observed on St. Stephen's Day (December 26th) in Ireland. (Which is ironic, since Fiona's character is Irish.)

The clip is from the episode "Scorched Earth." Long story short, back in season five Anson Fullerton kills a couple of people in a British embassy bombing in Miami and manages to pin the murder on Fiona. Michael's team attempts to find Anson to clear Fiona's name, but the search is futile, and Fiona gives herself up to the FBI to spare Michael. In this clip, Jason Bly, an FBI agent who has caused trouble for Michael in the past, is sent to interview her and make her confess to the murder. He has the FBI take pictures of a truck Michael blew up as a road block (so Michael could find Anson) and draft up a fake autopsy to get Fiona to confess. Eventually Fiona realizes Bly is lying and refuses to "confess" before she's sent to prison (for five episodes). (I'm not sure why Bly didn't realize Fiona had the ability to ID explosions unless I missed something in earlier episodes.)

There is no dialogue in this clip, and there aren't any well-transcribed lyrics to the song, so apologies in advance.

This video happened after a late night playing Ava Luna and being fixated with one of Gabrielle Anwar's tattoos to the point where I ended up watching the season six premiere in parts, and then this video happened. Enjoy.
