Here's what you need to know about Nikita:
Nikita used to work for Division. Three years ago, she escaped and now she's trying to take them down. Alex is Nikita's mole inside of Division. Division tried to kill her family (father = Russian oligarch) but Nikita saved her. Alex used to be on drugs and got shot up again in the last episode. Amanda has known Alex is hiding something for a long time and wants to use this opportunity to dig it up.
There's more specific information in the last episode about Alex's backstory, which is available at CWTV.com for anyone who cares. But that's the gist of it. Also, there will be a previously on.
I'm digging
The Chicago Code.

Gibbons is a devious motherfucker.
True.
And it would appear that the Sup is even more badass. I love her.
The "Really, really, really close to you" bit was pretty funny. And I knew I recognized the construction firm's owner -- he was in a couple of episodes of The Shield. (And an episode of Angel, but he was bumpier for that.)
Oh, and I believe Tim co-wrote next week's episode.
Next week's? Cool.
I'm pretty sure I saw the construction firm owner's guy in something. . . was he in Sons of Anarchy?
Well spotted sumi. I'm pretty sure he was in the Irish mafia (US edition) on SOA.
I love that it's actually shot in Chicago but I find myself wondering when the show will get past all the Chicago clichés and just live in the city.
Yes, there are multiple layers of manipulation going on.
Nikita: "The plot thickens. What exactly is the plot, again?" Ha!
