Escape

USA Network Synopsis
A mysterious Section One operative offers Nikita a seemingly ironclad opportunity to escape from Section One for good. All the information he gives her checks out, and Nikita seriously weighs his offer. However, Michael starts making romantic overtures toward Nikita, and her emotions are divided. Is the Section just toying with her to test her loyalty, or is it the opportunity to escape a real one?

My Synopsis
"Madeline is all too amused by Nikita and her most recent temper tantrum, actually cracking two smiles in this episode--a record." This was probably the very first LFN episode I saw, and it didn't impress me. (My friend was an HR.) However, upon rewatching it a few years later, I like it. I'm still not an HR, but it doesn't matter; Michael was faking it anyway. He's always faking it. If I was Nikita, I'd have dropped him a loooong time ago, definitely after season one. And you people say Operations is manipulative--geez!

Favorite Madeline Quote
"I know what I need to know, Nikita. If you can say the same, you'll be all right."
