The CW has released the synopsis for Nikita season 4, episode 3, titled “Set-Up.”
The official press release had the following information about the episode:
ALEX IS CAPTURED — Tensions continue to escalate between the United States and Pakistan after Amanda (Melinda Clarke) plants evidence that Pakistan hired Nikita (Maggie Q) to kill the President. Ryan (Noah Bean) becomes suspicious of Birkhoff’s increasingly odd behavior and tells Nikita and Michael that he thinks Amanda may have kidnapped Birkhoff and planted a double on the plane. Meanwhile, the CIA captures Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca) and questions her about her involvement with Nikita. Marc David Alpert directed the episode written by Carlos Coto (#403).
It looks like Nikita‘s final season will continue at a breakneck pace as Nikita being framed for the assassination of the President has global ramifications.
As for the episode’s B-story, we learned in the previous episode that Amanda, along with The Shop, has been making doubles of important people, including the Director of the FBI. It would be an interesting twist if she managed to get a double into Team Nikita’s safe haven as well.
This episode also marks the midway point of Nikita‘s fourth and final season.
Nikita season 4, episode 3 “Set-Up” airs Friday, December 6 at 9:00 p.m. ET.
