The CW has released a promo and sneak peek clip from Nikita‘s mid-season finale, “Sideswipe,” airing this Friday.

According to the synopsis, this episode will see Nikita and Michael facing down Cyrus, a rogue agent and weapons dealer, “who is purchasing a weapon-jamming device for Ari.” Due to Ari’s connection to Amanda, “Nikita convinces Ryan to let them use Cyrus as bait to capture Amanda.”

In this clip, Nikita and Michael confront Cyrus in the middle of an arms deal. Cyrus is trying to sell the same gun used earlier this season in “Innocence,” which Bikrhoff hacked into to allow Michael the chance to take down Wade, a rogue agent who had kidnapped and brainwashed a young girl. The same trick is used here as the gun turns on Cyrus, leaving him to surrender to Michael and Nikita, who demands intel on Amanda.

Eventually, “Cyrus manages to escape” from Division, but when “Amanda double crosses Cyrus,” he is forced to turn to Nikita for help. The episode will also see Birkhoff continuing to hunt Amanda’s mole in Division while “Alex starts to unravel” in her drug addiction relapse.

We also have the episode preview that aired after Friday’s episode, “The Sword’s Edge,” which previews internal tension at Division as Birkhoff hunts the mole:

“Sideswipe” airs Friday, December 7 at 8:00 p.m. ET.
