EP1 Déjà Vu All Over Again Jan 07, 2001

Nikita is sent back to Section One to destroy a new terrorist threat that only she can deal with which is a summit meeting of representatives from several terrorist groups. She is teamed up with a new level 5 operative, Marco O'Brien. O'Brien was the police officer recruited four years earlier because of a mistake Nikita made, a fact that O'Brien has not forgotten. Nikita finds that besides the terrorists, she must deal with O'Brien & the hostility of much of Section personnel because of her role in Center's evaluation of Section.

EP2 A Girl Who Wasn't There Jan 14, 2001

Nikita finds clues about why she was recruited into Section. Is it possible her father was an operative, codenamed Flavius, and that she has a sibling with the initial "M" who is somewhere in the covert world she lives in? Quinn redesigns Birkoff's Artificial Intelligence program to build a holographic replica of Madeline, complete with Madeline's memories and psychological profile. Although Operations is greatly pleased to have Madeline at his side once more, it soon becomes clear that despite it's complex programming, it is just not capable of being Madeline because it doesn't have her instincts.

EP3 In Through the Out Door Jan 21, 2001

After the explosion at the house of Nikita's father, Nikita enlists Walter, and then Jason Crawford, to decript its contents. The result; the location of the convelecence home where Michael took Adrian after the "Gelman Process" mess. And this just happens to coincide with Nikita's physical deterioration because of her experience with the "Gelman Process." Has Michael or Nikita's real father given her the information she needs to beat these after effects? Or is Nikita inevitably heading to the same place Adrian ended up, namely the grave? Meanwhile, O'Brien betrays Nikita, by revealing her deteriorating health to Operations, but unsure that O'Brien will be able to resist Nikita's "charms" any more than Michael did. Operations 'shadows' O'Brien with his very own 'pit bull' operative, Golliak. And Section One continues to try and crack "The Collective."

EP4 All the World's a Stage Feb 04, 2001

After someone breaches Section and breaks into her room, Nikita is more determined than ever to find out the truth about why she was brought into Section. She arranges to get at Mr. Jones personally by having him go out as "Mick Schtoppel" on a mission against an arms dealer with ties to The Collective, by the name of Massima Valenti. Was Operations telling the truth in "Deja Vu All Over Again" when he told Nikita that "Mr. Jones is not what he appears to be...?" Is Nikita making a big mistake in pushing the issue? Meanwhile, Quinn continues to put the "moves" on Operations, but what is she really up to?

EP5 The Man Behind the Curtain Feb 11, 2001

Nikita finally comes face to face with her father, the real Mr. Jones, but rather than being an "emotional" reunion, Mr. Jones is all business, and immediately sets Nikita out on a new mission; finding The Collective's "mole" in Section One! Mr. Jones' two candidates: Operations or Marco O'Brien. Mr. Jones thinks it's the latter, but Nikita suspects the former. So Nikita sets out to find the "mole." Meanwhile, the two co-heads of The Collective, Graff and Haled clash over tactics, and whether to trust their "mole's" intel about Section One. Michael finally turns up, but not until the last scene!

EP6 The Evil That Men Do Feb 18, 2001

Nikita and Mr. Jones have The Collective's "mole" narrowed down to four suspects: Operations, Quinn, Walter and the late Marco O'Brien, but Mr. Jones has a fifth possibility that Michael Samuelle is still alive, and that he is the "mole." While granting to Mr. Jones the theoretical possibility that Michael may be alive, Nikita denies that he would never be the "mole" for The Collective, Graff and Haled. Meanwhile, Operations sets out personally to see to it that an anti-Collective mission goes according to plan, but it's The Collective that is poised to blow Operations' plane out of the sky! Can and will Nikita save Operations' butt, one last time or should she even bother?

EP7 Let No Man Put Asunder Feb 25, 2001

The situation is dire as The Collective, still led by Graff and Haled, is cleaning Section's clock. But, just in time, Michael asks Nikita to help him return to Section, where his re-emergence is viewed with suspicion by both Mr. Jones and Operations. While new missions continue against The Collective with Michael's return, Nikita admits that she lied to him in "Four Light Years Further," and that she does indeed love him. Operations discovers that The Collective has infiltrated Section's mainframe to try to locate and kidnap Michael's son Adam, in attempt to re-assert control over him. Can Operations foil The Collective's plans?

EP8 A Time for Every Purpose Mar 04, 2001

Michael's son, Adam is a hostage of The Collective. Michael must save his son in a trade proposed by The Collective. Meanwhile, Haled is confronted by Michael on an offer to get rid of Graff, then leading Haled to become the head employee. Nikita & Michael do so, but this isn't good because Haled isn't alive anymore. This doesn't look too good for Michael. Two new candidates, Myra Mauk & Kelley are hoping for a spot at Section. Walter didn't have the best history with Myra, so he asks Jason Crawford to take her out of the running, he does so. More trades are offered later in the episode. Nikita is now running Section One, she lets Michael go to spend time with his son. Nikita says good-bye to Michael & continues are duties at Section One.

mishabri-1 La Femme Nikita was groundbreaking and would've been on a lot longer had it aired on a major network. This was really the first time a female was given a strong, intelligent starring role on a t.v. series. The writers/directors of this show have gone on to write and direct for the popular "24" starring Keifer Sutherland, and several actors from Nikita show up in "24". The technology used in the show was incredible for the time. The actors are all first rate and it's the characters in the show that keep you coming back. "Alias" was a direct ripoff of this series, but it wasn't nearly as well done as Nikita. The fan base for this show was huge, and still is even though it is no longer airing. Roy Dupuis (Michael) is a huge star in Canada and his take on the role is perfect. His minimalistic style is what you would expect from a member of the world's most covert anti-terrorism group. Peta Wilson (Nikita) is believable in her role, unlike many females in physical roles. All of the supporting actors are great and many have had vast and varied careers.
jcdc35 I loved this show and never missed an episode. I thought it was suspenseful and well written. I was fully involved in this program. It will be sorely missed.I cannot understand why we don't even get re-runs. I think the acting was well done and the characters detailed. I think the relationship between Nikita and Michael was intense and riveting. I have seen repeated episodes of garbage shows on television and I do not understand why no network thinks this show is worth repeating. I was hoping they would make another movie perhaps letting us know what happened after wards. I guess the actors have moved on. I think the original movie was very good and think the television show was a testament to it.
mr_boulder Nikita, after a bad childhood, is now with a quasi-government organization, called Section One. They hunt down and eliminate the bad guys and/or terrorists by any means necessary. One problem with the show is the members of Section One aren't likable. They aren't any different from the ones they murder. If it wasn't government sponsored, these people would be the terrorists. Another, is that the bad guys are all incompetent. They can't even shoot straight.Section One is staffed by attractive people. I can appreciate the show for Peta Wilson (Nikita). She's a tall, beautiful blond. But, that can't redeem the show.
Your_Majesty The fans have been clamoring for DVD's of La Femme Nikita since the show was still in production. It's an excellent idea whose time has come. We need boxed sets per season including the truncated Season 5. Personally, I would scoop them up all together in one purchase.For the initiated, the show is an hour long spy thriller drama that has been copied (Alias, for one) but never duplicated. It has a six member ensemble cast who, together, electrify the screen. The casting director caught lightening in a bottle.The focus is Section One. A covert undercover anti-terrorist organization. They go into the World and take out the terrorists before the badguys can strike. The hook? They have a very complicated authority structure but most of the Operatives are there against their wills. Their lives "outside" are erased by Section and they become, in essence, ghosts to the rest of the world. They are kept there through fear and intimidation. If you're lucky (or clever) enough to survive your Missions....You live. Step out of line? Screw up? Get cancelled. D-e-a-d.Section One is led by Operations. Former Viet Nam POW. A man who understands that sometimes the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. Morale is maintained and Missions profiled by Madeline; Operations' second in command and former lover. Michael is Operations' finest Operative and Heir Apparent. He has trained thousands of others to become the lethal killing machine he is...but no one is as good. Birkoff is the kid computer genius who keeps the systems running on oreos and milk...with a dash of knowing where all the skeletons are hidden. Walter is the "Q" (Bond) of Section. He's the corporate knowledge and is the oldest. Not necessarily the wisest.Enter Nikita. Young. Idealistic. Brought in for Section's "right reasons" but for all of her "wrong ones." Her personal goal throughout the run is to get out of Section--Alive. Only one little problem arises...she falls in love with Michael. With these six people, a host of amazing writers/directors, and stunning music/costume people...each week we were treated to moral debates, murder, assassination, treachery, twists, spins, simply unsolvable personal dilemmas, and True Love...you know, all that scary stuff.Each episode stands alone but also maintained a sense of continuity from Season to Season. You couldn't help but invite these people into your home each Sunday night as though they were family.Stylish and very European, the series has a real panache that no other show has been able to match.I highly recommend the series and would buy the DVD's in a hot second.
