Nikita -- "Broken Home" -- 4/19/13

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Synopsis:

Strapped down and drugged, Nikita (Maggie Q) is subjected to Amanda's (Melinda Clarke) horrific mental conditioning process, sending her down a terrible trip through memory lane. In the process, Nikita discovers Amanda's deepest, most guarded secret ever. Now revealed as leader of the uprising, Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca) struggles to save everyone as events violently escalate. With Michael (Shane West) locked away by Division conspirators, Birkhoff (Aaron Stanford) and Sean (Dillon Casey) must step up to save the women they love. Meanwhile, Owen's (Devon Sawa) newfound memories drive him to disturbing actions during Division's lockdown. John Badham directed the episode written by Terry Matalas & Travis Fickett (#318).


Episode 18 of 22


All the major networks are pre-empting their programming tonight due to the Boston news. Nikita is still scheduled to air in all markets except New York.

Also, the show wrapped production this week. It's up to the CW Gods now.

Hopefully the season finale can work as a series finale if that is what it turns out to be.

It was reported in another episode thread that there was a 13 episode order for a fourth season.

Anyone know if that's confirmed?

Not confirmed. The showrunner signed a deal to continue working on the show for up to 13 episodes should it get renewed.

It's on Hulu and The CW's web sites or their tablet apps.

If you want a few laughs, check out the comments at Television Without Pity just after the show aired. They're bitching and moaning and swearing off the show.

Thought this episode was awesome. Loved Birkhoff getting the drop on the two agents, it's easy to forget how well-trained he is.

Anybody think maybe Amanda's sister wasn't real and was created by the mind control device? She said she had no ss# and never went to school. Seems convenient, too, that they would be twins.

This one will need a re-watch.

Holy shit...just saw this tonight.

Poor Sean. It was all Alex's fault. I had a feeling her little crusade even though she was brainwashed would blow up in her face.

Loved the backstory with Amanda and the reveal.
