USA Network Synopsis
Nikita and Michael are sent to a Balkan nation to assassinate Radovan
Luka, an arms buyer for rebels who are waging a campaign of ethnic cleansing.
When Nikita and Michael arrive in the country, they discover two displaced
children, and Nikita forces Michael into protecting them. However, the
children's safety distracts Nikita from her opportunity to shoot Luka,
and now, Nikita and Michael must risk all their lives by infiltrating
a Balkan death camp to kill him.
My Synopsis
"While Michael and Nikita babysit two kids during their assassination
mission, Birkoff struggles with Gail's kleptomania." This episode's only
good parts were those with Birkoff, Gail, or Madeline. The Michael/Nikita
plot was boring. Birkoff turns in his girlfriend because she's stealing
money, and he has a lot of good scenes with Madeline because of it. Maddy
seemed particularly amused by Birkoff throughout the whole thing. He seemed
shocked that she knew he was "having intimate relations" with Gail. (Come
on, Birky, Maddy knows everything!) Ops was hardly in this episode, so there
were no TR scenes. :(
Favorite Madeline Quote
"I have a coup attempt in the Balkans, a missing warhead in Eastern Europe,
and a hostage situation in the Azores. Is there something about these
keyboards you feel will assist me in any way in these operations?" (to
Birkoff, who, in a moment of nervousness, thanks Madeline for getting a
new set of ergonomic keyboards approved)
