Michael is confronted by Jurgen
about Nikita’s pretence at being held prisoner for six months, which confirms his
worst fears. After he gives Nikita the cold shoulder she pointedly goes off with Jurgen,
unaware that Michael is listening intently to their conversation. Immediately Jurgen
starts to question Nikita about Michael, he calls her back into Section. He warns her not
to trust Jurgen and shows her his background file in an effort to frighten her off, but
with no success. After Michael sacrifices some of Jurgen’s men they slog it out
inconclusively in a fist-fight, but on a mission at a refinery Michael shoots Jurgen in
the leg to save him from getting caught in an explosion. Back at Section Michael finally
attempts to build fences with Nikita, but she shoots him down in flames. |

Performance Rating

The arc progresses with Michael
trying to contain the threat posed by Jurgen, and taking a hard line with Nikita. Pretty
much back ‘in charge’, Roy rallies audience support. Not too difficult, as it
happens, as neither Nikita nor Jurgen are in the running for the sympathy vote by this
stage. This episode was the one where Roy truly suffered for his art, the cut above his
eye following the Jurgen fight was for real, a clash with on-set equipment being
responsible. As consolation for his admirers however, we get to see more of his
ballet-like moves in the fight scene. |
