Nikita season 4, episode 2 “Dead or Alive” airs tonight as Nikita continues trying to clear her name.
Previously on ‘Nikita’…
After being framed for the assassination of the president of the United States, Nikita left behind her friends and fiance. Nikita returned to the U.S. 100 days later when she noticed a journalist asking the right questions about the president’s death. She made contact with him only to realize it was a trap set by Amanda.
With the FBI surrounding the building Nikita had snuck into, Nikita was trapped until Michael, aided from their new airborne command center by Birkhoff and Ryan, managed to exfiltrate her from the scene. However, Nikita took a bullet to the shoulder in her escape. And, it turns out, the Deputy Director of the FBI is a Shop plant.
Elsewhere, Alex has been using her status as a special envoy to the U.N. to help shut down human trafficking rings. She interrupted an exchange in India, and found Shop technology in the aftermath. However, just as she was about to leave, Sam appeared, holding her at gunpoint.

DOUBLE TROUBLE — Nikita (Maggie Q) reunites with Michael (Shane West), Birkhoff (Aaron Stanford) and Ryan (Noah Bean) aboard the team’s aircraft command center.
