This is a very interesting program. Where in the past, Nikita shows restraint and emotion during missions while Michael seems cold-hearted, now the reverse is true. Michael tries to protect innocents from decisions made by Nikita. Meanwhile, Michael finds out about the Gelman method used on Nikita, with Gelman getting killed in the process. Michael then knows that he has been observed talking to Gelman, and protects himself. A hologram of Michael is shot by operatives while Michael himself escapes.
Meanwhile, there were a few discrepancies. For instance, in Nikita's apartment is an art piece on the wall that she previously destroyed....in the Season 3, episode 10 episode where she is altered to love a hostile.
These small discrepancies do detract from the story, but not significantly.
I love the way Michael is suddenly the human, emotional one, while Nikita is the cold valentine/killer operative. An interesting change-up from previous seasons.moreless
Nikita continues to show evidence of the "reprogramming," including ordering the elimination of a captured Section operative, endangering the lives of children during a mission, and taking part in the beatings of a captive. Michael is determined to reverse Nikita's reprogramming, and he soon determines that the former Section operative who came up with the "reprogramming" process, Ross Gelman, may be the key. Meanwhile, Operations couldn't be more proud of the "new" Nikita, but Madeline is still worried. But Operations decides that the solution to the problem is simple- eliminate Michael for good!moreless

TRIVIA (1)
ADD TRIVIA-
Goof: Nikita is wearing a Russian Army uniform, but there is no insignia on it anywhere. A real soldier would have them, so there's no point in putting her in uniform without those elements, since they would be an immediate sign that something was wrong.
