Nikita -- "Fair Trade" -- 11/18/11

Synopsis:

Spoiler:
Nikita (Maggie Q) steals funds from Oversight, forcing them to host an emergency meeting. Nikita and Birkoff (Aaron Stanford) figure out how to spy on the meeting so Nikita can identify the other members of Oversight, but things go awry and Sean (Dillon Casey) captures Birkoff. Amanda (Melinda Clarke) demands to know where Nikita is hiding but Birkoff refuses to give up his friend so she tortures him. Meanwhile, Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca) sets her plan in motion to reclaim her father's empire. With a price on her head, Alex realizes the easiest way to get into Russia undetected is the same way she was smuggled out through the illegal sex ring. Nick Copus directed the episode written by Carlos Coto (#209).

Awesome episode.

I knew Amanda was cold but damn . Birkhoff's got a set of balls to not give up Nikita there.

Loved Alex kicking ass in the strip club and later wasting the sex trafficers. It'll be interesting to see how she proceeds from here.

I really liked how they showed Nikita being vulnerable. It was great how Michael talked her down and calmly gave her a plan of action.

(Love the pic in the OP, by the way.)

Oh, my sinuses are killing after watching Amanda shove that long needle up Birkoff's nose.

This was a fucking kick ass episode.

Amanda going all psycho and torturing Birkhoff was insane.

When she used the hammer to break his hands and then tried to suck out his brain with that needle, I had a 24 flashback.

Alex was awesome when she took out all those Russian goons and the ICE agent. I guess Malik Yoba need to supplement his Alphas income.

Plus, Alex undercover as a stripper and pole dancer.

Plus, we got to see a more vulnerable side of Nikita.

Man, It sucks that this is one of the most kickass action serials on TV and only a few people here talk about it week to week. Same applies with Strike Back....although that being on Cinemax and not free TV is understandable.
