| Michael's POV Onscreen:
11 minutes |
Continuing the Season 2 theme
of playing hard-to-get, Michael ignores Nikita’s hints about it being possible to
have a relationship within Section, and when he suggests they spend the night together in
the van ‘doing surveillance’, he means it. While they remain behind watching a
Red Cell substation, one of the Section operatives unwittingly takes back a deadly anthrax
variant into Section. With operatives dying in droves, the future at Section looks bleak,
but Michael and Nikita find out they are free of the virus. They kidnap the doctor
involved in the production of the virus, tricking him into thinking Section has his
family, and obtain the antidote. Rushing back to Section, they save everyone who
hasn’t yet died. |

| Words of Wisdom |
"A lot of things can be
done. Doesn’t mean they should be."
"We have your family
in our compound. We can free them or we can infect them with the anthrax you’ve
engineered."
"You need all the
help you can get, hurry up."
"We may use your talents, or
we may kill you." |
Performance Rating
 |
While Roy gets a reasonable
amount of screen time in this episode, it’s basically an ensemble piece.
Workman-like, we’re back to Section Michael, not taking the chance to escape but
being honourable and rescuing his colleagues. Roy proves that he is one of the few men in
the western world who can wear a knitted hat and still look ‘to die for.’ These
British reviewers would like officially to welcome him back to ‘Glasgow’ any
time. |
