Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just paused on a frame of Birkoff's monitor which has a post it saying "Call your mom. This time I mean it."
So, is Birkoff canonically not separated from his family?
And why am I wondering about a gag?

Say what?

Was that an actual note to Birkoff to call his mother? He has a mother he's in contact with?

Alex is in contact with her mother. Ryan may or may not be in contact with his mother. I'm not sure anyone else has a mother.

I would have thought that all the relatives would think they were dead before they were recruited.

Yes, faking their deaths is part of the recruitment process and people are strictly forbidden from making contact with people from their old lives.

So then the note on Birkoff's screen is just a gag?
Kristen - Sep 23, 2012 8:42:12 am PDT #3804 of 4535
Probably. It's weird to me that there was a post-it on his screen at all. Birkhoff is anti-paper.

There was also a number-- #2006, I think.
I can't believe Birkoff kissed Nikita. Two reasons--1, he's not nice, like the first Birkoff was. and 2., such a character reversal from the original douchiness, but earned, and the kiss came off as entirely sweet and pretty much appropriate.
Cool cool cool.
