The CW has released the synopsis for the fourteenth episode of Nikita‘s third season, titled “The Life We’ve Chosen.”

The official press release has the following information about the episode:

AMANDA CAPTURES ALEX — Amanda (Melinda Clarke) holds Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca) hostage and tells Nikita (Maggie Q) she will release Alex in exchange for Ari (guest star Peter Outerbridge). Michael assigns Nikita and Sean (Dillon Casey) to handle the exchange of prisoners, but Ryan (Noah Bean) adds Owen (Devon Sawa) to the team at the last minute, which makes Michael suspicious. While in captivity, Alex befriends a fellow prisoner named Larissa (guest star Olga Fonda) and vows to break them both out of the jail, which ultimately conflicts with Nikita’s plan, forcing Alex to choose between Nikita and her promise to Larissa. Brad Turner directed the episode written by Albert Kim (#314).

We know from the synopsis of episode 12, “With Fire,” Ari risks capture by the FBI to meet with Nikita to warn her that Amanda is planning a terrorist attack on American soil.

In episode 13, “Reunion,” Ari, who is under Division’s protective custody, teams up with Nikita once more when Amanda attempts to use his son as leverage for control of the black box.

It seems that Ari and Amanda have split ways for good, which will undoubtedly get ugly as the season progresses.

“The Life We’ve Chosen” airs Friday, March 15 at 8:00 p.m. ET.
