Due to Birkoff’s panic under field conditions, Michael and his team are almost killed on a mission. Furthermore, the inexperience of Birkoff’s stand-in, Simon, causes his plane to be shot down in enemy territory. Birkoff finally redeems himself during the rescue attempt, but it is up to Michael finally to send the baddies packing.

Words of Wisdom None. ‘Go’ is just about the only line of dialogue Michael has in this episode.
Performance Rating
Michael has a minor role in this episode, as these later Season One episodes are written to showcase other characters and flesh out their history and role in Section. It’s interesting to note that, while Michael is finely attuned to Nikita’s every move and every emotion, and will do whatever it takes to protect her, he doesn’t even seem to notice Birkoff’s near breakdown and possible cancellation. The first of a couple of quiet episodes for Roy, there is not a great deal in this episode for him to get his teeth into.
