"Nikita star Maggie Q has revealed that an upcoming episode will explore the origins of Birkhoff (Aaron Stanford). The actress told IGN that the CW drama will take an &amp;quot;extensive&amp;quot; look into the computer hacker&amp;#039;s past. &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re gonna deal a little bit with who Birkhoff was: How Percy got him and what he did wrong,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;[We find out] what Percy&amp;#039;s got on him... which is really cool, because I love that character so much.&amp;quot; Q admitted that is keen to explore &amp;quot;the early days of Division&amp;quot; and Nikita&amp;#039;s past relationship with Birkhoff. &amp;quot;I want to see how close [they] were,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;They were good friends in Division! He would have been closer in age to her and he would have been almost like a brother.&amp;quot; She continued: &amp;quot;Besides Michael, the person she had an intimate relationship with, Birkhoff would have been the closest person to her.&amp;quot; Q also confirmed that future episodes will &amp;quot;solidify&amp;quot; the backstory of Division mole Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca). &amp;quot;You&amp;#039;re going to see more of... where Alex came from,&amp;quot; she explained. &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re going to kind of get that out... so we can move forward with her.&amp;quot; Nikita continues on Thursday at 9/8c on The CW.
