Ops is just dying to get Maddy alone in the tower. And Maddy could care less. But she eventually gives in to Op's desire, which she calls a weakness. She's so cold! Does this woman really have no desires, or is she just scared of any kind of relationship? I understand she doesn't want to show weakness, and considers love to be a weakness, but she could at least allow herself to enjoy being loved once in a while. Brutus is found at the alternate Epcot center. He's heavily armed and artificial. I found this a little humorous, actually. It was fun to watch everyone going in circles, including Brutus, trying to outwit and entrap the other side. Nikita, in her endless compassion, must go back to check on the girl left lying in the street. Nit-pick: how did Nikita get her hands on the key for her handcuffs? Did some nitwit actually leave it laying in the back seat? I have to agree with Nikita when she argues with Michael about the fate of the family. They don't pose any threat to such an organization as Section. They are petty thieves, and almost certainly do not have the connections to figure out who Nikita really is. Although that father was a real jerk. And the girl was a liar. Necessary traits for thieves, I suppose! "It took me four days to find Nikita. That leaves eleven" We want you at The Briefing Room's LFN S2 DVD discussions

I think the part we'll see next week about Maddy's husband factors in as to her ambivalence. Not that she was thinking of him, but TPTB were foreshadowing it. As to Brutus, uh, after the incident with Hillinger, they didn't stop to think what a machine might do with an open comm line? That was silly, and far more amatuerish than I would have expected from Section. On the capture, once N saw the girl was running around, shouldn't that have been enough for her to walk away? I know it would have taken the rest of her story out, but it just didn't register as true for me.

I guess Nikita wasn't positive it was her? $:\$ I agree with the both of you that a lot of things in the episode didn't make any sense. I think the writers were tripping when they wrote this one. GOTTA HAVE MICHAEL'S JOYSTICK! I have command. NIKITA: "You're going to kill me?" MICHAEL: "No. I'll shoot you in the leg and carry you back. But, it'll be easier for both of us if you can walk."

Assuming they didn't all run and hide once they realized that Nikita had escaped and the police might be coming for them.

Besides, Micheal's too thorough to let a possible threat to Section go uninvestigated, much less allow it to be traced back to Nikita.

I get the impression that Michael "doesn't like his schedule disturbed," as my father said when I was born. GOTTA HAVE MICHAEL'S JOYSTICK! I have command. NIKITA: "You're going to kill me?"

Just showing up like that, so inconsiderate of you. Well, you must have had sufficient charms to win your father over or he wouldn't have kept you. Either that or he saw the NO REFUND, NO EXCHANGE stamp on your diaper and gave up.

Well, you must have had sufficient charms to win your father over or he wouldn't have kept you. Either that or he saw the NO REFUND, NO EXCHANGE stamp on your diaper and gave up. I don't think he actually meant the day I was born, which was Christmas Eve, three days early and pretty inconvenient! Mom was having such a good time drinking spiked eggnog that she didn't want to tell anyone that her water broke! I think he was referring to his daily routine. However, my mother ignored him because that was obviously a ridiculous thing to say! And yes, I did indeed eventually win him over, I guess. He had two "Daddy's girls" (I was the first) had he was very happy with that! Pattyko -- *Quote:* I'm sure you turned your father's schedule upside down but i'm also sure it was in a good way and he didn't mind Probably upside down and backwards! And you're right...he didn't mind a bit...eventually. He wouldn't have traded it for anything. GOTTA HAVE MICHAEL'S JOYSTICK! I have command. NIKITA: "You're going to kill me?"

Definetly, but not so humorous as Brutus outsmarting them *Quote:* Nit-pick: how did Nikita get her hands on the key for her handcuffs? Did some nitwit actually leave it laying in the back seat? The little girl left it there for her. First she asks for a knife or pin and thenafter she finds the keyshe sees the little girl standing in the shadows. Nikita smiles, as if to thank her. And later, in Michaels office she tells M: That little girl saved my life, dont repay her by killing her family. Soits obvious the girl put the key there. Anansiimoj-- *Quote:* I've mentioned this before, but I do think that Micheal unwilling to expose Nikita's actions, went to Albania to check out the family for himself and probably left them alone. By the way michael just said "we'll see" at the end of their conversation, I got the impression she softened him and he just let them go. Of coruse, I may be wrong, but I think that if he intended to send someone to kill them instead, he would have just given her a blank stare, conversation's over!
