It’s all about the money in tonight’s new episode of Nikita, as a series of financially motivated crimes leads to a jail break! Catch the new episode later tonight.

The twentieth episode in the series looks set to continue the high stakes excitement we saw in last week’s installment. Check out the official synopsis for “Shadow Walker” below.

BIRKOFF IS ARRESTED BY THE FBI — Nikita (Maggie Q) convinces a reluctant Birkhoff (Aaron Stanford) to use 20 million dollars of his own money in a plan to bankrupt Percy (Xander Berkeley) and Division, but when Percy ends up stealing Birkhoff’s entire life savings, Birkhoff and Nikita clash. Team Nikita has one last chance to hit Percy again, but Birkhoff is arrested trying to regain his millions and Nikita realizes she must break him out of jail before Division gets to him. Michael (Shane West) and Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca) go after Birkhoff’s stolen money while Nikita goes to save Birkhoff. Nick Copus directed the episode which was written by Kristen Reidel (#220).
