Nikita	comment	A secretive United States government agency known as "Division" has for years been recruiting young adult convicts by faking their deaths and forcing them to train as spies and assassins. The recruits are brainwashed and threatened with a violent death should they fail in their assigned duties. Answering to no higher authority in the U.S. Government, Division has in recent years begun to go rogue, hiring out their particular services to the highest bidder.Nikita was once one of Division's best operatives, but she escaped prior to the start of the series and went rogue after the agency had her fiance killed. After three years spent planning her revenge, Nikita declares war against the agency by thwarting a crucial assassination. Unwilling to remain hidden in the shadows any longer, Nikita delivers a message directly to Division's director... she is going to bring the agency down, one mission at a time if she has to, and she vows to ensure that no one else will have their lives stolen in the way that Division took hers.Nikita is an action-drama TV Series based on the 1990 French film of the same name. Premiering in 2010 on The CW Network, the series stars Maggie Q, and is produced by Warner Bros.. The series ran for four seasons, with its fourth season comprising six episodes. The final episode aired on December 27, 2013.Not in continuity with the previous series, La Femme Nikita, on which it is also based.

In the Season 2 premiere, semi-innocent Non-Action Guy Birkhoff unleashes a pair of attack drones on a Division strike team to save Michael and Nikita. And then when Carla attempts to betray Nikita and Michael, it's Birkhoff who shoots her. This also applies to several minor enemies Nikita faces, such as a nanny and a "sweet" Texan cat lady.

Nikita / int_22cf536c	comment	Chekhov's Gun: In a flashback to Nikita's "first kill", her target mentions to her (posing as a prospective nanny for his newborn) that he worries his daughter will inherit his peanut allergy. This comes into play later when it turns out her victim faked his death and is now the head of a gang specializing in human slavery. When Nikita is captured, he proves his dominance by forcing a kiss on her, unaware that she was wearing lipstick laced with peanut oil. The print pad Alex made to access Percy's office is later found by Jaden and finally, after falling into Thom's hands, is used as evidence that he was Nikita's spy in the Division. In the same episode, we finally see Alex's earlier shown escape tunnel get used by Nikita, who uses it to escape from Division following her breakout, after which Percy discovers it and has it sealed. Every few episodes after "All The Way" some small event causes Micheal to get suspicious about Alex's behavior. These include a phone call with strange background noise and surveillance camera footage of a failed mission. In "Echoes" he revisits all of these incidents which leads to the big Cliffhanger where he figures out Alex is the Mole and where Nikita is living. We find out that Percy deduced Nikita and Michael's partnership when Kasim was killed. In "Pandora", we find out that the nerve agent Jaden stole for Percy in "Girl's Best Friend" was implanted in the fake Black Box he let Nikita steal, set to activate and kill the head of the CIA so that Percy can replace him. Near the end of "Betrayals", Alex grabs an unseen object that in "Pandora" is revealed to be a paralytic to help fake Nikita's death. Nikolai Udinov's watch, which Alex gave to Irina to pawn. Amanda recovers it, and Sean later gives it to her as a Pet the Dog moment. It's implanted with a GPS tracker, which allows him to find Nikita. In "Glass Houses", Roan explains to Alex how he disposes of bodies. In "Pandora", Alex uses that information to help fake Nikita's death and help her escape from Roan.

The season one finale shows that they don't even like him, as he's long since broken free of their control and is blackmailing them with the information on the Black Boxes. In the season 1 finale, Percy reveals that his huge plan is to essentially become this for the CIA after replacing the director with a puppet. In late Season 2, it's revealed that Gogol is the intelligence wing of Zetrov, making Semak the man behind Tasarov. Late Season 2 marks the first appearance of the Group, a shadowy private council who Percy wants to join. They continue to pop up here and there throughout season 3, and finally get brought to light in season 4.

Nikita / int_820ac3c5	comment	Dysfunction Junction: Nikita was a drug addict and delinquent, abused by her foster father, then got recruited into Division which made her a killer and resulted in the murder of her fiance. Alex's parents were killed by Division, she was sold into sex slavery and kept there for several years, finally emerging as a drug addict and living on the streets until Nikita found her. Michael's family was killed by an Arab terrorist. And that's just the three main characters. Jaden was apparently raped at one point, followed by her killing the rapist in his sleep. She stuck a knife in his neck; Division thought she showed "initiative". This show runs on this trope, and it's justified due to the fact that Division recruits convicts and criminals to work for them. If there's not something seriously wrong with you, you don't belong there.

One of the Oversight members suggests that the whole motivation for his plan to kill and replace the head of the CIA is for access to the CIA's enormous black budget. His real motives are more complex. Ari Tasarov, the head of Division's Russian counterpart Gogol, fits this trope better. "Origins" reveals that he and Amanda are working together to seize Zetrov from Semak, using Alex as their pawn. And when that plan was in danger of failing, Ari suggested killing Alex, framing Semak, and stealing Gogol's operating budget - 300 million US Dollars isn't the same as a Mega-Corp, but it's a tremendous amount of money for two people.

Episode 1x16: "Go ahead, ask me how I got here." Episode 1x17, by the look of the 2nd promo. Except some of the Wham-ness has been blown by said promo. Though something it didn't spoil was The Reveal that Kasim, the man who killed Michael's family, did so on orders from Percy. It also didn't give away that this revelation would lead to Michael's apparent Heel–Face Turn. Episode 1x20 - Jaden is killed by Nathan while fighting with Alex, and a hidden recording device on her finally reveals to Amanda that she is working for Nikita Followed immediately by 1x21 - Percy turns Alex into a Double Agent by revealing that Nikita was the one who killed her father; Michael's cover is blown and he's imprisoned in Division; the captured black box is revealed to the audience to be a Trojan Horse and part of Percy's move against the government; and the episode ends with Alex shooting Nikita. The following episode - the season finale - involves Ryan being arrested by the CIA, Nikita's loft being blown up, her and Michael going on the run with a fully decrypted Black Box, and Alex splitting from both Nikita and Division, and being recruited by Oversight to go after Nikita (and possibly Percy as well). Season 2 has had a few shocks and surprises, but the first real Wham episode was 2x10, where in the last few minutes it's revealed that Alex's mother is still alive. 2x13: Percy escapes Division with Roan and the last Guardian, Amanda takes over Division after most of Oversight is killed, and Team Nikita apparantly now includes Madeline and Sean. Alex is, as usual, stuck between Team Nikita and Amanda. 2x18: Percy regains conrol of Division, thanks to a mole and some (unwitting) help from Birkoff, Ari looses control of Zetrov, and Amanda and Ari end the episode on the run, hunted by Division, Gogol, and Team Nikita. 2x23 ends the season with Percy and Roan dead, Team Nikita running a collectively Heel Face Turned Division on the government's behalf, a still free Amanda revealed to have decrypted the last Black Box, and Sean asking Alex out on a date. 3x18, "Broken Home". Owen/ Sam is on the run with the last Black Box, Division suffers a violent mutiny that ends with multiple dead and almost everyone leaving, Sean dies, and Alex goes rouge (again)

Nikita / int_9bcd82c0	comment	Took a Level in Badass: Jaden, in "Girl's Best Friend". For most of the first season, she gets beat down by Alex, Nikita, and is shown to be pretty inept. But in that episode, on her first high-profile mission, she takes out four mooks, the episode's Big Bad, and saves Alex's bacon. Birkhoff seems to have taken some in the interim between S1 and S2. By "343 Walnut Lane", he's become a good enough fighter to stand toe-to-toe with a Division agent and last a decent amount of time. He also programs a drone to bomb his own house, in a suicide move that actually succeeds in killing the Division strike team and not himself, Michael, and Nikita. Of course, he had incentive, after being kidnapped on separate occasions by Nikita and the CIA. After Division kidnaps him and Amanda tortures him, he now keeps a gun in close reach at all times, and regularly spars with Michael. Alex takes serveral levels in Season 2, starting in "Knightfall" by ignoring a direct order from Amanda and killing her target (her first real kill), later infiltrating Russia to get revenge. Sonya, after a season and a half as a quiet computer geek, opens fire with an MP5K during the mutiny in "Broken Home" to save Birkoff.

And in "Alexandra", Michael and Nikita have a discussion about the last time they teamed up in "One Way". In both "Dark Matter" and "The Next Seduction", Nikita uses the knife Michael gave her in "One Way". She appears to carry it with her all the time which is both sweet and sad at the same time. In "Pandora", Nikita brings up how Alex once tried to kill herself when Nikita brought her off of the street. In "Fair Trade", Birkhoff warns his replacement at Division that "when they're done with you, they'll snap your neck and melt you in acid", a reference to the Engineer's fate (though we only saw the former on screen). At the close of "Dead Drop", Nikita and Michael discuss how they are now compared to how they were: in a safehouse, hiding from division, with no money, tech or weapons, and how their safehouses keep getting lost. The continuity overall for the show is pretty top notch and the numerous nods reflect that.

"Echoes" (1x16) ends with a doozy of a cliffhanger - while Percy and Amanda are discussing whether or not to "cancel" Alex, and Alex is thinking that it may be time to escape Division, the last scene shows Michael awaiting Nikita in her loft. With a shotgun. As does "Glass Houses" (1x20). Nathan kills Jaden, Alex sells the lie to Division and thinks she's gotten away with it... until Amanda reveals that Jaden's cochlear implant had recorded Alex calling Nikita for help afterward and knocks Alex out cold. Which is topped by the end of "Betrayals" (1x21). See Wham Episode below. "Pandora" (1x22) ends the season with Nikita and Michael on the run with a decrypted Black Box, and Alex being recruited by Oversight to act against both Nikita and Percy. "Sanctuary" (2x12) While Nikita's team and a captive Sean are negotiating with Oversight via phone, the Guardians take Oversight hostage and threaten to gas Division if Amanda doesn't release Percy. "Crossbow" (2x22): Percy's attempt to blackmail the President ends with Nikita and Micheal stuck in Division, Alex and Sean outside, and the Marines may be on their way.

Unfortunately, in "Betrayal", she finds out that the Division agent who killed her father was Nikita. That complicates things. Actually, it just means that she refuses to work with Nikita anymore, and now plans to go after the man who hired Division to kill her father in the first place. Oh, and her mom is alive.
