A lot of things happen in this ep. Carla returns, if only to manipulate Nikita. Maddy's hubby shows up. And Nikita is placed out of Michael's hands (again).

Maddy was sooo thoughtful to let the prisoner avenge his brother in the teaser.

Sand reminds me of the guy in the newer Bond movies that gives 007 his gadgets. I don't know if its the same actor.

I suppose Maddy and Sand were probably married before Section. I just can't see her married to a first-year operative. But ofcourse, we aren't handed a timeline.

I liked watching Michael sweat during the initial meeting with Gelner, when Nikita is asked if she could take over if he "suddenly ceased to exist." I know Michael wasn't worried about his own safety, but nervous about her screwing up their cover. As a matter of fact, its almost the same look he gave her in Love, when she told the wrong story about how they met.

Poor Nikita trying to make sense of who's confidence to follow. It must've been very difficult to decide between Operations and Madeline. Either way, she would lose. I was glad Maddy stepped up to deal with it herself. And she is NOT happy with Operations, as we see when he comes to her office to rub her nose in it!

((((((Jessi)))))) Hope everything's OK babe!!!

Poor Michael. He didn't enjoy that one bit did he? Still I didn't like it that he took it out on her, by asking her to stop coming to him... it wasn't HER fault that Ops had a hidden agenda!

Talk about difficult choices!! I was wondering....do you think that Nikita would have killed him?? Until Maddy came...she sure seemed like she was gonna do it

Ops would,ve yanked her chain when, where,and however he wanted to.

More like making C's life a living h3ll!

Wished that I had background on her marriage

Me too. For an organization that "doesn't condone relationships between operatives" they sure were married a lot: Michael and Simone, Maddy and Charles, Walter and Belinda...

She must've worn the pants in THAT relationship

---

She kinda wears the pants in her relationship with Ops too ( aside from those eps in which he was sexually harrasing her which have been established to be only an act, she was pulling the strings)

Quote:

---

I think she probably would have. It would have been MUCH more difficult to explain to Operations why she didn't then to explain to Madeline why she did, don't you think? Although, her instinct to protect innocents might have kicked in when push came to shove...it's a REALLY tough call!

---

Yes, you're right, but on the other hand...Ops should KNOW Nikita and her desire to protect the innocents, or in this case the "one of our own"s I'm conflicted!

Maybe she's drawn to men she can control?

Yeah...it was unfortunate for Operations that Charles picked Nikita as his go-between instead of Michael!

I do have to wonder about a experienced Section operative who doesn't realize after nine years that Section isn't just " missing " his calls, and something is very rotten in the state of Denmark.

---

No one ever said he was a BRIGHT First Tier operative!

I think he was acting the part, not concerned about her blowing their cover. Being her "civilian boss," he was SUPPOSED to look nervous in that situation...it's what Gelner expected. Why WOULDN'T he react that way?

---

Not exactly the look I was referring to. That's the way he looked while talking to Gelner. I'm referring to the look he gives Nikita when she's checking her PDA, just before the "fearful" look he shares with Gelner.

I looked up Sands, and Steven Berkoff was Gen. Orlof in Octopussy, and Victor Maitland in Beverly Hills Cop

---

Thanks! I thought that was him. And I didn't even even think about BHC!!! He was very amusing in that one!

I can't get over the fact that the actor who plays Charles, name really is Berkoff.

---

Really? I didn't know that. Cool. thanx for the intel!

Quote:

---

Maybe Charles did understand when he contacted Nikita that there would be no homecoming and he wanted just wanted to see Madeline one last time.

---

Maybe, but if that were the case, why didn't he tell Nikita to go directly to Maddy????????

Definetly.

He certainly wasn't... he could have been free all this time...

Quote:

---

I'll have to check...but he was still being observed by Gelner, so I suspect he anticipated that

---

Perhaps a visual aid? I can't find a cap of the look in Love, but this is what I was talking about in In Between (but I thought he was a little more.....shall we say....bug-eyed):



.....just a bit nervous about how Nikita would handle the question.....

elevendaze -- Thanks for the pic! I still say he was "playing to the audience."

JESSI -- "All work and no play," you know!

KG-- I was just being careful rememberingt that you like soda+ fruit juice and was trying to give ya what you liked )
