Check out this interview that Maggie Q did with Collider about Nikita’s Season 2 finale on Friday. The part related to Lyndsy is below:

What can you say to tease the season finale, “Homecoming” (Episode 23)?

MAGGIE Q: Nikita is back at Division and she’s stuck now. Michael (Shane West) has come down and he’s trying, but they’re still separated. And then, Birkhoff (Aaron Stanford) is upstairs, and Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca) and Sean (Dillon Casey) are making out somewhere. Everybody is separated, but they still have this one goal, which makes it very dangerous. Her com is not working, so she’s completely off the grid down there. We don’t know what’s going to happen to her. It’s the beginning of the end. This is where everything starts to unravel, and nothing is going to turn out the way that they expect it to. It’s pretty cool. I’m excited!

What is the mind-set like, at the end of the finale? Is keeping this group of people together still feasible for Nikita?

MAGGIE Q: I had this moment, three or four episodes ago, where Michael and Nikita were looking at them, and everybody was on the couch, and I was like, “What show is this? What is this, Central Perk?” Everybody was sitting there and happy, and it was this very odd moment. I was like, “We can’t have happy couch moments going on, in the show.” It is a reality that Nikita can bring all these people together and keep them together as long as she can, but it’s going to take a third season to see where that goes. The fun, main reason for a third season would be to go into the intricacies of what could happen with that group. You see Birkhoff, who’s central, but Michael and Nikita have their own issues, from time to time. And, Alex and Sean have this little love thing going on now, so who knows? They could go off. We don’t really know. The over-arcing theme of Season 2 was home. So, in the end of Season 2, we understand what home is to her and what it isn’t, and how she’s come full circle, in that way, which is beautiful. As a person, I find that emotion cool.

Does the season end on a cliffhanger?

MAGGIE Q: No, not a cliffhanger, but it definitely leaves a big question. I certainly don’t expect people to expect what’s going to happen, in the end. I’m not saying that it’s an impossibility, but you would never think that it’s going to go that way. The tables completely turn. Last season, there was a little bit of resolve, in that Michael and Nikita were together in a car, driving off, so that was cool. And then, you had Alex going to the dark side, and the storm was coming in. You had both, and you have to do that. If it were me, I wouldn’t want any happy ending. I’d want it just to be a cliffhanger. But, I think people need a little bit of hopefulness, so we’re going to give them a little bit. I will say that there’s going to be a lot of shocker before there’s hope, for sure. Eagle Egilsson, who’s from Iceland, directed our last episode and he’s our most visually stunning director. The production value was up the wazoo.
