'Nikita' season 2 finale: Who lives and who dies?

18 May 2012 7:55 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »

There is a major death in the Season 2 finale of "Nikita" You may have expected it, but it the way it happened is still a shock. Nikita (Maggie Q) has been trying to take down Division for years and after deciding she wasn't running anymore in last week's "Crossbow," she did just that. She, Michael (Shane West), Alex (Lyndsy Fonscea) and Sean (Dillon Casey). Birkhoff (Aaron Stanford) too, of course. That boy got yet another smooch in the final moment of the episode.

It appears Nikita and Ryan will be taking over Division. She wanted the group to know they wouldn't be forgotten. So how did they get there? Battle after satisfying battle. Battles that included Sean asking Alex out on a date. Still no answer, but it would be shocking if she says no.

The biggest moment of the night was Nikita killing Percy (Xander Berkeley). It was an incredibly satisfying moment, »

Laura Prudom: Who Died In The 'Nikita' Finale?

18 May 2012 6:00 PM, PDT | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »

Note: Do not read on if you have not seen Season 2, Episode 23 of The CW's "Nikita," entitled "Homecoming."

It's been a revelatory season for The CW's "Nikita." This year, the show shed the last vestiges of its procedural beginnings and wholeheartedly embraced its compelling mythology, drawing fans deeper into Percival Rose's treacherous web of politics and bloodshed, keeping our heroes on the run, outgunned, but never quite outmatched. We've seen allies become enemies, Oversight dismantled, Zetrov returned to safe hands, Amanda deposed and finally, Percy fallen once and for all.

It's easy to forget, in the halcyon glow of the show's renewal, that this episode could easily have been "Nikita's" series finale -- would you have been satisfied if it had been? From a storytelling standpoint, the narrative truly has come full-circle; this season has been focused on the concept of "home," and as both Nikita and Percy pointed out in this episode, »

'Nikita' Finale Recap: Who Survived the Division Showdown?

18 May 2012 11:16 AM, PDT | buddytv.com | See recent BuddyTV news »

In tonight's season 2 finale, Nikita (Maggie Q) finally confronts Percy (Xander Berkeley), but things do not go as planned.

Danger From All Sides

Nikita and Michael (Shane West) are still trapped inside Division thanks to the lockdown, but it does not take them long to find one another. Meanwhile, Percy tells his agents that Division has been breached and anyone who kills Michael and Nikita will be rewarded. At the Farm, Sean (Dillon Casey) and Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca) survive their gun-battle with the Alpha team only to have the marines show up. They have to lay-low to avoid detection, as the marines do not know the difference between Nikita's people and the actual bad guys.

The President makes a press statement announcing that he is pulling his support from the peace treaty and Percy is pleased, especially when the gentleman tells him that he has been admitted into the man's group. »

Exclusive: 'Nikita' Star Shane West Talks Surprising Double-Death Finale

16 May 2012 6:03 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

It's been a rollercoaster year for The CW's "Nikita" (Fridays at 8 p.m. Et). Despite a consistently compelling second season, the cerebral action series was considered to be a long shot for renewal right up until last week's announcement of a Season 3 pick-up.

Audiences have seen the show evolve in countless ways since it first premiered, but one of the biggest changes this season involved the expansion of what the cast has dubbed "Team Nikita," originally encompassing the core trio of Nikita (Maggie Q), Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca) and Michael (Shane West), who banded together to take down Division, the oppressive black ops agency that trained them. Last year, the odds seemed firmly stacked against our favorite rogue agents, but thanks to the addition of Birkhoff (Aaron Stanford), Sean (Dillon Casey), Ryan (Noah Bean) and occasionally Owen (Devon Sawa), "Nikita's" merry band of rebels has grown into a force to »
