Nikita press releases
I can't remember if I posted the press release for episode 21 earlier and I'm too lazy to click on the tag and look right now (really, really lazy) so I'm just going to post it here along with the release for episode 22, so that I can properly squee.
2X21
RYAN TELLS NIKITA IT’S TIME TO INVOLVE THE CIA - When it looks like Percy’s (Xander Berkeley) nuclear weapons plan is getting out of control, Ryan (guest star Noah Bean) suggests they go to the Director of the CIA, Morgan Kendrick (guest star Brian Howe), for help. Nikita (Maggie Q) is vehemently opposed to the plan and is surprised when Michael (Shane West) takes Ryan’s side. Tensions escalate when Nikita is proven right after they discover Kendrick has a link to Percy. Meanwhile, Sean (Dillon Casey) is shot by Percy’s men, shaking Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca) to the core. Aaron Birkhoff also stars. Michael Robison directed the episode written by Kalinda Vazquez (#221).
2X22
PERCY THREATENS THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES - Percy (Xander Berkeley) calls the President the United States (guest star Cameron Daddo) and threatens to set off a nuclear explosion unless his demands are met. Birkhoff (Aaron Stanford) finds two scientists who could help stop Percy’s new nuclear satellite, so Nikita (Maggie Q) and Michael (Shane West) head after one and Sean (Dillon Casey) and Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca) look for the other. Unfortunately, Alex and Sean get caught at the very location that Percy blows up as an example of his power. Meanwhile, Nikita realizes the best way to stop Percy is to go into the belly of the beast - Division itself. Danny Cannon directed the episode written by Andrew Colville (#222).
So, the whole 'shaking Alex to her core' thing made it pretty clear it was going to be a good episode for Sean/Alex shippers. If that wasn't enough Craig said at a con this last weekend that Alex's love life takes a turn in episode 21. So I'm expecting some kind of declaration of feeling and almost definitely a kiss by the end of the ep. I try to keep my shipping goggles set as close to realism as possible, but I don't think those predictions are too outlandish given what we know.
So then in episode 22 they go on a mission and get into another near death situation? Possibly trapped together or something? And they're both filming in the finale so I don't have to worry about them dying? I mean...the fanfiction practically writes itself. Both the realistic missiony stuff, and the inappropriately porny stuff.
At least if this is the last season, it's going out on a shipping high note for me. Assuming they don't kill Sean in the finale. WHICH THEY BETTER NOT.
Oh, and speaking of the finale, Sean and Lyndsy were filming today, and they both, along with one of the crew people I follow, collectively tweeted about machine guns, romance, a roll in the hay, and a pitchfork. So make of that what you will. Honestly, on this show the presence of machine guns and pitchforks doesn't really help me decide if it's a literal roll in the hay, or a "roll in the hay *eyebrow wiggle*
