**MAJOR SPOILER ALERT**
"Nikita" - ep. 4x01 ("Wanted") [Promo] [My Tumblr Page for 4x01]
Synopsis: THE FINAL FIGHT BEGINS - Nikita (Maggie Q) is still on the run after she was framed for the assassination of the President of the United States. Dale, a reporter (guest star Todd Grinnell) from the news channel ENN, starts questioning what really happened that night. Nikita sees this as an opportunity to clear her name so she re-enters the country to talk to Dale but walks right into a trap set by Amanda (Melinda Clarke). The team is alerted and Michael (Shane West) sets out to find Nikita before Amanda does. While Birkoff (Aaron Stanford) and Ryan (Noah Bean) help Michael from their new mobile office, a high-tech aircraft, Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca) stakes out a human-trafficking ring and learns The Shop is involved. Things go south and Alex is surprised when Owen/Sam (Devon Sawa) shows up at the scene.

It seems like some stuff from the promo wasn't all from 4x01 so there is quite a few scenes that we were told about yet not privy to see just yet. I can't wait until we do.
In the meantime, I'm worried about Nikita and her gunshot wound, she needs to get that looked at ASAP. Plus what does Sam/Owen want with the device that Alex found? Is he trying to track down Amanda too?
So many questions and only 5 episodes will give us the answers.
Have a great weekend everyone!
Not many gifs tonight.
