An explosive season premiere!
Nikita is on the run
We are introduced to conspiracy theorist journalist Dale Gordon and FBI Deputy Director Graham who is leading the charge to find Nikita.
Nikita has re-entered the United States. The FBI tell the local police not to try to approach Nikita.
Of course they ignore the warning and end up being outsmarted by Nikita.
Amanda and her cohorts also learn of Nikita's return
Alex and Sonya have been following leads while shutting down multiple trafficking operations. They learn of Nikita's return but decide to stick to the plan.
Nikita heads into New York to talk to Dale Gordon, who has been asking a lot of questions about the president’s death. She tells him what happened in the President’s office, saying that both the president and her head of security, who gave Nikita the gun to shoot the president, were acting out of character.
Unfortunately, Dale doesn’t have a source as he claims. Instead, he’s been getting anonymous text messages with information leading to the questions he’s been asking. Nikita immediately realises that the source must be Amanda.
She remarks sadly that there is only one man who could track her down but she doesn't think he cares to do so ...
Oh Nikita, do you not know Michael at all? Of course he's looking for you ...
He's even using the Watchmens' cool eye camera. Hope he washed it before putting it in his eye though
He's not alone, Birkhoff and Ryan are helping

The Lair in the Air head in his direction to help out

Michael's on hand to help
As usual, Nikita's trying to call the shots

Michael pins down the deputy director and forces him to cooperate. I was surprised that he showed his face like this to be honest.
I love how bitter Birkhoff is and how he doesn't bother to hide it :)
Nikita can't believe they're still sticking the neck out
Michael makes the FBI shut off the power and hence the fans
