Seeing the effects of the CW's ironclad will to get 18-34 female viewers, I'm worried about where Nikita is headed. If Nikita is renewed, we'll probably have to put up with this watered-down version forever. Sadly, the CW just isn't a network conducive to pure ass kicking and the executives realized that after the first half of the season performed below expectations, which is why they made all the changes.
"The Next Seduction" is primarily about relationships, and the spy stuff gets shuffled in there as secondary point, even thought there are good twists in there. Basically, the end result of the episode is that Nikita kisses Ryan and Alex kisses Nathan. Now, the big question is, will the writers juggle the relationships and spy world adequately?
Score: 8.4/10
