Bio-Nik Episode 12 Review: The Beginning of the End

Masa untuk kita mengimbas kembali episod Bio-Nik yang baru sahaja bersiaran a few days ago. This is the 2nd to last episode sebelum segala cerita terlerai dengan pertarungan Nik dan kumpulan jahat musim ini, Dr Shamil and Prof Mazni aka Sharifah next week. Episod kali ini is focused more on the background of how Prof Mazni became who she is now, bagaimana semua ini boleh berkait rapat dengan Nik dan keluarga. It also shows what the villains have in store for Nik and gang. Mari kita sama-sama recap...

There was no cliffhanger last week so the episode starts fresh dengan cerita Burn. Pada mulanya boss dia nampak tengah marah another colleague so naturally dia ingat dia pun akan di marah bila dipanggil. Rupa-rupanya dia dinaikkan pangkat ke Permanent Reporter. Later, Burn calls Nik to tell of the great news and belanja makan. However, Nik terpaksa tolak sebab ada masalah lain. Burn decides to join Nik tapi heads to the hospital first untuk melawat ibunya. Ibu Burn telah pun sembuh dari penyakit barah tulangnya dan is ready to return home.

Bila di rumah Nik, Burn dapat tahu semua cerita tentang Lisa, Prof Mazni and Dr Shamil dalam plan mereka untuk mengalahkan Nik. Burn teruja dengan cerita tersebut yang mampu menjadikannya reporter hebat as well as befriending a hero. Sebelum beredar, Burn revealed to them what he had done to get money to pay for his mother's treatment. Nasib baik Nik menerimanya dengan tenang. Kamal not so. Prof Hafiz told him he should've consulted with him first about his money problem as he could've helped. Betul gak. But then there wouldn't be any drama. Huhu. Nik later plans to enter Prof Mazni's office to get as much information about their plan.

We later see Nik and Kamal entering Prof Mazni's office. I think this scene would be cool if they played around a bit with how Kamal dapat fikirkan password. takat tekan-tekan keyboard tak berapa nampak convincing. They found out about Agron Trotsky. Pastu they heard someone coming in. Trus sembunyi bawah meja. It was Prof Mazni and Johan. Rupa-rupanya diorang memang dah bersama merancang semua ini. Prof Mazni ask Johan to bring Aina to Dr Shamil's office to lure Nik. I wished that the scene where Prof Mazni almost caught them was played out longer. Buat diorang hampir-hampir dijumpai but Dr Shamil called ke.

Setelah mendapat maklumat pasal Prof Mazni, Nik dan Kamal heads off to find out more pasal Agron Trotsky. On the way, diorang terserempak with Adi. Namun, Adi masih berdegil tidak mahu percaya dengan Nik and Kamal. Because of that he ended their friendship. Nik panggil Aina untuk warn her about Johan's plan tapi tak dapat memberitahu sebab Nik lemah bila Aina mendekati, because of the magnet necklace. Aina ran out the room and was comforted by Johan. Too late, Aina dah pun ikut Johan. Nik ceritakan kelemahannya bila berdekatan dengan Aina. Nik pointed out the necklace and Kamal revealed that it was a gift from Johan. Barula diorang tahu that was the cause. Nice touch on Kamal shutting down the browser windows sebelum beredar. Spontan kot.

Johan cuba mendekati Aina dengan menenangkan Aina dari insiden dengan Nik. Dia mengaku bersalah berfoya-foya dengan perempuan lain. Later, Burn appears to pay him back the money he took from Johan. Not sure though dari mana dia dapat duit tu but I think Prof Hafiz helped him with this. Dengan itu, Burn is not obligated to reveal anything more about Nik to Johan. However, Johan ask that he doesn't say anything about this to Aina. I think this was an awesome twist, bila Johan cerita dia tolong Burn dengan masalah kewangan Burn to make him look like a generous man. Lagila Aina cair. Outside, Nik and Kamal are headed back to their home to meet with Prof Hafiz. Not sure why Nik pilih saat getir camni to decide to drive the car.

Di rumah, Nik and Kamal revealed that Dr Shamil is working with Israel to make the bionic armies and that Johan was involved as well. Sebab tu, Prof Hafiz reveal that he actually know Prof Mazni previously known as Sharifah. Here we are taken back to the days when Prof Hafiz, Dr Shamil and Sharifah were still in their youth. They wanted to take Sharifah to be their guinea pig for their experiment. Masing-masing Prof Hafiz and Dr Shamil also are trying to win the heart of Sharifah. On Sharifah's birthday, Prof Hafiz took the chance to give her a bracelet kiat penah tengok dalam episod sebelum ini yang membuatkan Prof Hafiz teringat. He was going to profess his love to Sharifah when Dr Shamil interrupted them.

Back at the lab they, ok maybe only Prof Hafiz, continued their experiment until successful. Prof Hafiz wanted to first try it out on himself tapi Sharifah insist that she tries it straight away. Bila diorang tengah bergaduh, Sharifah decided to inject herself. Mula-mulanya she was ok. She manage to change herself to different people from Dr Shamil to Aman Shah. However, it had a side-effect. Muka Sharifah meninggalkan kesan parut yang Prof Hafiz sendiri tidak dapat sembuhkan. Because of that Sharifah decided to leave them until now. So it looks like Sharifah is trying to get back at Prof Hafiz for what he has done to her. Tu la. Memandai nak inject sendiri. Haha. So because of this, Nik, Kamal and Prof Hafiz vow to end this feud. They start by improving the multifunction glove that Kamal created.

Overall the episode was ok cuma the flashback story could've been cut short or extended with more background story. Terasa tujuan Prof Mazni untuk membalas dendam dengan Prof Hafiz macam tak cukup kukuh since nampak macam salah dia sendiri. Maybe dia terlalu consumed by rage yang dia bertukar jadi jahat. Walaupun teruja nak tengok episode akhir, rasa macam cepat sangat masa berlalu. I hope the last episode provides a lasting effect on us untuk diingati forever. 5 more days and counting...
