‘Nikita’ season 4, episode 2 preview: Who is getting hurt next?

On tonight’s season 4 premiere of “Nikita,” we had quite a bit going on … and understandably so, given that there are only five more episodes left of the show. The writers have to find a way to figure out how to not only tie together this story, but do so in a way that is satisfying to everyone that has followed the show for so long.

So in following up an episode that had everything from an escape plot to a journalist going “kaboom,” what do you do from here on out? More attempts by Nikita to clear her name, and while there will be a reunion between her and Michael, it’s best to not make any assumptions that it will be a long-lasting one. Just be sure to take a look at the full synopsis below:

“Nikita (Maggie Q) reunites with Michael (Shane West), Birkhoff (Aaron Stanford) and Ryan (Noah Bean) aboard the team’s aircraft command center. Michael refuses to discuss their relationship but tells Nikita she should stay with the group and let them help her clear her name. Ryan realizes Amanda (Melinda Clarke) is making doubles of VIPs with The Shop’s help. Nikita discovers that one of the doubles is the Director of the FBI (guest star Alex Carter), but doesn’t know how to kill him without exposing herself. Meanwhile, Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca) holds Sam (Devon Sawa) at gunpoint and demands he return what he stole from her, but when a gang of thugs attacks them they are forced to work together to escape.”

One other joyous thing about this final season right now is that really for the first time, you can just sit back and enjoy the show for what it is. There is no more need to worry about the ratings, or about a threat of cancellation looming somewhere over the characters’ heads. This has to be more than refreshing for pretty much everyone involved.
