"Partners" (TV-14, V) (HDTV)

NIKITA'S OLD PARTNER ESCAPES FROM PRISON - Nikita (Maggie Q) is stunned when she hears that her old Division partner Kelly (guest star Katheryn Winnick) escaped from a Turkish prison. Nikita thought Kelly died years ago and always felt responsible because it happened on the mission where Nikita escaped from Division. Knowing Amanda (Melinda Clarke) will go after Kelly, Nikita tells Michael (Shane West) they have to go to Turkey to help her. Amanda sends Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca) and Roan (guest star Rob Stewart) to Europe to stop the former partners from reuniting. Dermott Downs directed the episode written by Kristen Reidel (#3X7154).
