Maggie Q (Nikita) says Nikita’s got an Achilles’ heel (and it’s not her heel, which probably knows 50 ways to kill a man). Now that Michael’s back in her life, we’re going to see meer of Nikita’s vulnerability.

“What I really like on an emotional level about the volgende episode is that you’re going to see a new side to Michael and Nikita and their relationship you’ve never seen before. And you’re going to see a type of vulnerability from the both of them that they don’t really ever have around anyone else but each other,” Maggie tells EW. “And it’s not only what you’ve never seen it before, you’re going to understand where it comes from and a lot of the bron of the pain as to why they’ve been at odds.”

So is there hope that these two will stop making each other sad, and just go get avondeten, diner and a movie? Maybe, says Maggie — but not right away.

“You’re going to see Nikita shift a bit when Michael’s in the room, and shift when
Michael’s around because he provides a presence for her that she doesn’t have with anyone else,” she says. “I think that at the end of the volgende episode, everything that they’re going to go through — and there’s a lot — I think it’s going to be a sad thing for people. Then I think that after the sadness, there may be hope out of a dark place.”
