The CW has released a sneak peek from Nikita season 4, episode 4, “Pay-Off,” featuring Sam trying to convince Alex to let him join the team.
While Owen was previously a valuable member of Team Nikita, Sam hasn’t been much of a team player since regaining his memories. But that hasn’t stopped Nikita or Alex from reaching out to him. And now it seems he wants Alex to believe she’s gotten through to him.
Alex is clearly hesitant to believe Sam’s motives, though he did make an effort to come back for her after she was arrested by the CIA.
Whether Sam really wants to regain some of what Owen had with the group or he’s just using Alex for her money to pay off the loan shark he owes remains to be seen, but Sam has done the unexpected before.
The official synopsis for the episode reads:
THE SHOP OFFERS NIKITA THE DEAL OF A LIFETIME — Jones (guest star David S. Lee) benches Amanda (Melinda Clake) and takes back the reigns of the operation. He calls Nikita (Maggie Q) and offers her and the entire team complete freedom by wiping away their identities and faking their deaths if they walk away from their mission. The team lands the plane on a secluded Pakistan air strip, but when the local drug czar and his men storm the plane and demand ten million dollars, Nikita calls Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca) for the money. After Alex pulls diamonds out of a safe deposit box to pay the insurgents, Sam (Devon Sawa) sees an opportunity to recoup his losses and contemplates stealing the diamonds. Meanwhile, Michael (Shane West) comes face-to-face with an old adversary, Ramon (guest star Simon Kassianides), who hits Michael with some hard truths. Dwight Little directed the episode written by Terry Matalas & Travis Fickett (#404).
Nikita season 4, episode 4 “Pay-Off” airs Friday, December 13 at 9:00 p.m. ET on The CW.
