Nikita (TV series)/Tear Jerker

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • At the end of "2.0", in Flashback, Nikita saves Alex from her attempted suicide. When Alex breaks down and says she wants to die because everyone she loves is dead, Nikita breaks down herself and tells Alex that she has something to live for.
  • Michael's speech about the house that he bought for his family at the end of 'Covenants'.
  • Ryan Fletcher's death in "Clawback".
    • Turned into Nightmare Fuel when it's revealed that Amanda faked his death and is forcing him to overthrow Oversight for her.
  • Nikita's freakout moment when Birkhoff gets kidnapped, and her frantic screaming when she calls Michael.

Nikita: WHY AREN'T YOU HERE?!

  • In Sanctuary, Nikita tells Alex the story about the disappearance of her guardian Carla.
  • Birkhoff's expression after he's forced to shoot Carla.
  • Nikita's behavior for nearly all of "Wrath", where we see her forced to deal with her self hatred after a man she took down years prior comes back for revenge. Luckily, Michael is able to end the episode on a heartwarming note.
  • It's unlikely many people shed tears, but this troper still found Percy's death to be heart-wrenching. Sure, he had it coming, but he was such a fantastic villain that it was terrible to see him go. And those last few moments, with the expression on his face...it was probably not the way he wanted to go, dying alone in that cell...AlasPoorVillain.
