Nice seeing Alex and Nikita working together again.Lots of great action this ep. I especially liked Michael and Owen doubling up on the guardian, and Alex ducking for Nikita to shoot that guard - they still have an instinctive trust with each other.
Really well done episode. I like how they juggled the three different storylines. Maggie and Lyndsy did a great job with their scenes.

I also like that Percy may have met his match intellectually with the CIA guy.

Great episode to come back from the hiatus.The reveal that Katya was having an affair with the new head of Zetrov corporation was an interesting reveal.
However, I'm sick of American actors faking Russian/Eastern European accents. Sarah Clarke in this episode is no exception. They just come across as corny IMO. I assume she got this gig because of Xander Berkeley, who's her real life husband. Other than that minor nit pick, lots of great action and it was definitely good to see Alex and Nikita back together again. The last sequence when Alex came to her rescue and they took out all those guards was awesome.
I don't know why, but I thought this line was funny:
Percy: You know what I just realized?
Ryan: That your sick of looking at your own reflection?
I don't know about all of you, but I want to see another torture scene with Amanda. I love how she's so hot and sadistic as well.
Ratings wise, I just checked and it got 1.5M viewers and 0.6 in the demos. On part with what it's been getting this season. Hey at least it didn't drop.
