Bio-Nik Episode 9 Review: Nik To The Rescue!

We've finally come to the last episode aired so far. So lepas ni bolehla expect review yang tepat pada masanya. Xde lagi kene ingat balik episod-episod lepas. This episode is a continuation of the previous episode. Fauzir kini telah menjadi ala Incredible Hulk (cuma size masih sama) dan ditugaskan untuk menjatuhkan Nik. This is all part of Dr. Shamil and Professor Mazni's plan. Sebelum tu another thing to note, countdown still x tepat, hehe. Masih kene baiki skit. So jangan terperanjat kalo number of days die tak betul. Ok, let's review episode 9...

Last episode introduced us kepada konco baru recruited by Professor Mazni to carry out her devious plan to get Nik (for what we're still not sure). She injected the serum created by Jimmy into Fauzir creating a hulk-like monster. The first scene of the episode shows the "phantom woman" (from here i'll call her that untuk bezakan Lisa and that superhero memandangkan kita tak tahu identity die yang sebenar) entering Professor Hafiz's office to steal the ADAM program. This makes us question tujuan sebenar kewujudan phantom woman ni sebab die buat jahat dengan mencuri ADAM program but at the same time tolong Nik tangkap pencuri tempoh hari. Maybe there's more than meets the eye.

Dr. Shamil has set up a new office to continue his plan to make bionic armies out of the ADAM program. We then get to meet boss die yang die sedang bekerja with. Sounds like an investor for his plan. Professor Hafiz returns to his office to find it ransacked and the ADAM program missing. He calls Dr. Shamil to ask about it. Dr. Shamil memang dah berubah menjadi semakin jahat sejak kita mula-mula kite kenal character die. So phantom woman is with his team? However, she missed out getting the blue print of the program. This was the last thing Professor Hafiz has of the program. Later, kita dapat tahu kekasih Dr. Shamil on the other line is actually Professor Mazni. Professor Mazni sets Fauzir out to kidnap Alia, Nik's sister, to lure Nik into their hands. Sekarang the prof and Fauzir are on "aku kau" term. Dah x macam relationship cikgu dan murid. Macam tak consistant je. We also find out that the annoying lecturer is dead.

At college, the gang meet up at the lab to re-create their topi pengimbas minda. Adi dan Nik masing buat sesi luahan hati membuatkan Kamal tergelak dengan kejiwangan diorang. Later, Nik and Adi meet up with pasangan masing2 to have lunch. Tinggallah Kamal yang terpaksa ikut sorang2. Sedih pulak bile tengok Kamal keseorangan sampai dia sendiri tertanya. Rupa-rupanya Nik and Aina tak declare lagi. Tapi apa je bezanya kalo dah berpegangan tangan bermanja2 ek? However Johan sees this and starts to get jealous. On the way they met up with Professor Hafiz. Can see the smirk on her face when she looks at Nik before leaving. Tapi untuk apa ek tujuan scene tu? Unnecessary.

The next scene happens in a hospital di mana kita dapat tahu mak Burn sedang ditahan wad sebab sakit barah tulang. I like this storyline cause it gives a back story to Burn and boleh di-integrate into the main storyline. This makes Burn more human walaupun kita tahu dia ugut Nik untuk berjaya dalam career dia. But I think he has a good reason. Outside Burn terserempak dengan Johan yang sedang minum. Little did he know that Johan yang purposely berada di situ untuk berbincang dengan Burn. Johan kemudian cuba menawarkan wang untuk mengubati mak Burn in return he writes about Nik and his abilities. Burn refuses but Johan still ask him to consider andai kate die berubah fikiran.

Back at Nik's house, Professor Hafiz returns to tell his wife, Aishah about Dr. Shamil mencuri program ADAM. Somehow boleh pulak Aishah cuba berfikiran positif about it seolah-olah tak kisah. Maybe she doesn't know the whole story. Alia later calls her cell phone to inform her mother of her whereabout. Tengah bercakap tetibe kedengaran seperti ade orang cuba menculik Alia. I think the call should've been Fauzir telling the mother that Alia has been kidnapped. Baru macam nampak logik kenape Alia nak telefon. Macam coincidence pulak time die telefonla die nak diculik. Professor Hafiz then calls Nik to inform him of the situation. At the location specified by Professor Mazni, Fauzir ties up Alia over a tank of acid agaknye. Berani jugak Alia talking back at Fauzir.

The gang gathers at home to discuss what to do next termasukla Burn skali, dah jadi part of the gang pulak. Haha. Kelam-kabut betul mak Nik ni, at least we can see they keep her personality consistent macam episod awal2. Baru Nik nak cube cari dah receive call dari Fauzir. Kalo die dah receive call sejak awal tadi, boleh potong scene ni. Again mak Nik overacts by taking the phone from Nik to talk to Alia. Fauzir ask Nik to meet him tapi kawan2 laki die yang lain decides to follow but wait in the car. The gang thinks this is all part of Johan's plan menyebabkan Burn to reveal apa yang Johan cuba buat siang tadi. Gelagat Kamal dan Adi dalam kereta macam biasa membuat kita tak kering gusi tergelak.

Sampai kat warehouse near college, Nik enters to see Alia hanging above the acid. Tengah nak cuba lepaskan Alia, Fauzir stops him and weakens Nik. Dengan apa I'm not sure. Kalo nak katakan handphone macam tak patut jadi lemah sebab dia pakai jaket tu. So he knows another weakness of Nik? Maybe it's like a sonar noise maker or something. A fight starts between them sampai Fauzir sempat putuskan tali yang akan menjatuhkan Alia dalam acid. I just watched Cicakman 2 and I notice macam this scene is similar dengan scene yang melibatkan watak Sharifah Amani. A few more scenes in the film also seems repeated in the series. I just hope diorang tak tiru bulat2. Tiba-tiba phantom woman muncul menyelamatkan Alia tapi blah macam tu je tak tolong Nik. This distracts Fauzir giving a chance for Nik to attack him. Dengan kemarahan yang mengaburi Nik, die attack sampai Fauzir pengsan. The gang decides to enter the warehouse and stops Nik. Bila polis datang, they ask Nik to escape and Adi wants to take the blame. Tapi kenapa ek? Padahal Alia boleh bagi keterangan to make it seem an act of defense. Sama je kalo Adi yang take the blame. Bukan boleh kene tangkap jugak ke? We then see an officer carrying Fauzir out into a car and it turns out to be Prof Mazni.

This episode brings back the action and excitement that Episode 7 brought. Tapi rasanye kalo gabung dengan previous episode pun ok untuk buat episod tu lebih padat. Sebab episode lepas sangat kosong dari segi isi. This is the kind of action I was waiting for for a superhero series. Syabas! Harap2 episod seterusnya continues the momentum.
