Overall, that was one of my favorite shows of all time. I think they did a real nice job with it.

Did they really say that he hadn't seen Michael at the funeral?
They asked where he was and said something like "we'll see him again, when the time is right", but there was clearly some communication between them to let Sam and Jessie know that he made it out.
Afterall, Charlie had to go
somewhere after the explosion and Jessie probably went to jail pretty quickly thereafter. It stands to reason that there was a handoff.
Now here's my plot hole - not necessarily how Charlie got to Michael, but Charlies whereabouts
period. The CIA knows Charlie exists. They also know that Madalyn blew herself up and they'd have found the body in the home - but not Charlie's. So they know that Charlie got out and they know that James' guys got blown up.
So the CIA would likely view Charlie as a loose end. They're going to need to have an answer to that. Now I guess the short answer is they assumed that James' men got to him, killed him and dumped him somewhere - and that'll work. But it is the CIA, wouldn't they at least throw out some feelers looking for him?
And yeah - that's pretty much the ending that's been in the makings for the last 2-3 years (which is about the time I started watching the show). I was kinda hoping for Michael to take over the organization and turn it into a more 'Westinized' version; more benevolent but still heavily funded and well connected. But you knew that wasn't going to happen.
