As the second season of the CW action-packed series "Nikita" continues, newly coupled Nikita (Maggie Q) and Michael (Shane West), along with computer whiz/financier Birkhoff (Aaron Stanford), race to bring down a slew of bad guys while trying to stay a few steps ahead of the fast-on-their-heels Division. However, as Shane West told our Jim Halterman the other day at the Blue Jay Cafe in West Hollywood, things are going to jump to the next level of danger and excitement very soon. To tease a few developments, there is a bump in the road coming for the "Mikita" relationship on tonight's episode and the actor also touched upon how it's been this season trading in his classy Division suits for civilian attire, how we're going to see more sides to Birkhoff besides just comic relief and if Michael has any scenes coming up with the caged (and increasingly cagey) Percy (Xander Berkeley) and acting Division head Amanda (Melinda Clarke).
