Michael has really been the only one to notice that something is off with Alex so far this season, and it sounds like that will come to a head in tonight's episode. Can you preview anything about their storyline in "Intersection"?
I think Michael was always used to seeing signs of drug abuse or recruits going through difficult times because he coached them. He taught them. He trained them. And I think, with Alex in particular, she stood out from the rest of the recruits, reminded him of a young Nikita and therefore he and Nikita care for her a little bit more than they did the others. So she stands out, and I think that Nikita has got a lot of other things going on with making this decision to keep running Division, going after the Dirty Thirty and bringing all these rogue agents down so that we can go off and live our lives as normal human beings. And I think that Michael is the type of guy that looks at each situation differently, and he pays attention to the whole rather than just one specific goal. And I think that’s why he notices a little bit more about Alex than Nikita and the rest of them have.
It sounds like Alex is going to ask Michael not to tell Nikita what she's going through, which would put him in a somewhat awkward situation with his fiancee -- can you talk about that dynamic?
Oh yeah. They both go through some issues around the exact same time and it’s darker issues. And I think Michael’s kind of the guy that a lot of people come to talk to, and you can see back in other episodes in past years, it doesn’t even really matter if it was Season 1, 2 or 3, he always seems to be in the middle in a lot of sticky situations, so he’s used to handling it, and he seems to be the best one that can handle Nikita’s emotions as well.
We've heard, from as far back as Comic-Con, that something "gnarly" is going to happen to Michael as a result of Amanda's [Melinda Clarke] vendetta against Nikita -- what can you reveal about that incident?
it’s funny, especially going way back to Comic-Con and what all of us talked about, [regarding] what was going to happen to all of our characters -- it seems like most of them have either happened and haven’t aired yet or are about to.
Actually, Michael, especially considering all of the previews and the teasers, goes through a couple of different things in this episode that the fans have been wondering about: This supposed kiss with Alex, and there is something that goes on at the end of the episode. So it’s a lot for them, and something gnarly does happen and there is a very interesting kiss as well, but each event will be explained and will make sense to the audience -- some of [the events] might be shocking, but I think the audience will be able to deal with it because it will propel the story farther and it already has. We’re so many episodes down the road from that because of what we physically shot. We’re starting episode 15, so you’ll see that, however this episode may end, you can trust me in saying that it’s going to go to amazing places … it changes the dynamic for a lot of different people, even though there are incidents that happen to just a couple people.
