USA Network Synopsis
Although Michael was able to regain full Section status after stalemating Operations
and Madeline, his fight to restore Nikita is far from over. Knowing that Nikita only
has five more days to go before her mind control process becomes permanent,
Operations and Madeline send Michael on a mission as far away from Nikita from
possible to try and prevent him from intervening. However, Michael circumvents
their attempts, successfully kidnaps Nikita, and begins the deprogramming
process. But deprogramming Nikita turns out to be much more of a challenge than
he bargained for...
My Synopsis
"Michael has sex with Nikita in a tube, while he sends Birkoff and Walter out to do
his dirty work." Ick! The tube sex was about the most stupid thing I've ever seen,
topped only by the sex scene in "The Keep." Okay, anyway, this is probably Peta's
best acting work in the series, for this episode. She gets to speak German, kick a
terrorist's butt, and growl :) It's great! Unfortunately, this is the last
episode featuring robo-Nikita, as the tube sex frees her from the Gelman process.
*pout* And I hate hate hate the song playing during the tube sex; it is my least
favorite LFN song. Maddy looks too cute in this episode (I love this hair), and
she and Ops get to be pretty evil. Their plan to keep Michael away from Nikita
would've worked if Walter and Birkoff weren't so darn loyal to SpyBoy. But their
mission scene was great! 'I'm gonna throw up,' declares Birky, to which Walter
replies, 'Wait until after the meet!' heehee :) This was the end of the story
arc for robo-Nikita, and it was handled nicely, I think, albeit a bit stupidly on
Michael's part. He's completely irresponsible. I loved robo-Nikita's snark to
him: 'Don't like it on the other side, to be the one who isn't wanted?' You go,
girl!
