Michael's POV

Onscreen:
7 minutes

Nikita tries to track down the truth about her recruitment by Section, under cover of helping a new agent. Michael is suspicious of her ‘live sim’ with this agent, Kruger, and quizzes her on this. She confesses what she’s been up to. Michael refuses to help her but agrees not to interfere. Nikita then finds out that the agent involved in her initial recruitment has been killed - was Michael responsible for this?

Words of Wisdom "He’ll be more focused knowing escape is pointless."
"Stop playing games Nikita, what’s really going on?"
"If you were brought in here for some other reason, you’d know by now."
"What if you don’t like what you find?"
Performance Rating
In production order, if not in screening order, this was the third consecutive unusually small part for Roy (20 minutes spread over 3 episodes), which brought the season average down to the lowest in the series. We might speculate that it was during this period that Roy was filming Maurice Richard : Histoire d’un Canadien (and would appreciate feedback from anyone who could confirm this). Let’s hope so, because otherwise this is yet another tiny helping of pretty standard Michael stuff, and a bit of a waste of M. Dupuis’ undeniable talents.
