Synopsis:

In order to gain control of the black box, Amanda (Melinda Clarke) makes plans to kidnap Ari's (guest star Peter Outerbridge) son Stefan (guest star Dylan Minnette) to use him as leverage. Still in Division's protective custody, Ari begs Nikita (Maggie Q) for help. However, Stefan's bodyguard Krieg (guest star Andrew Divoff) manages to capture both Nikita and Amanda and the two must work together to escape. Owen (Devon Sawa) is furious with Michael (Shane West) after Michael assigns Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca) to be Nikita's back-up instead of him. Aaron Stanford also stars. Jon Cassar directed the episode written by Terry Matalas & Travis Fickett (#313).

Episode 13 of 22

Decent enough episode. Love Nikita and Alex kicking ass. Owen is an idiot. Michael is cool being in charge of Ops. The German bodyguard was pretty badass. Too bad they didn't use that actor as Amanda's new "cleaner" instead of that stupid girl with the piercing and overcompensating knife.

Oh, did anyone else notice that about 3/4 through this episode, Nikita and Amanda suddenly switched chairs when they were supposedly tied up in the warehouse? For most of the episode, Amanda was on the left, and Nikita was on the right, facing the camera, and right before they're rescued, they suddenly switch. Way to go continuity...

Still liking the show, but can't wait for them to be done with this whole "Michael's hand" thing: it still feels like forced drama, and the fact that they can (eventually) do a full replacement makes the whole thing moot and predicatable.

Wonder if they're going to do a whole "Amanda brainwashes Alex" thing too: which I hope they don't, cause that seems like a whole "Michael's Hand PART DEUX".

Hoping they'll follow through on Ryan slowly turning into a Percy by the end of the season.

It was after Nikita started the fire. My wife speculated that they had turned around the chairs trying to move, like say if the chairs had been tied on the back leg together. That would allow them to switch sides, so to speak, by facing a different direction.
