The rightly-titled "When Push Comes to Shove" put Nina Theroux on center stage. The alpha with the hyper-induction ability "pushed" her way to the brink of auto-destruction in an episode that explored her past and her struggle with her mistakes. The story also flaunted the refreshing newcomer Kat who offered a lighter, and arguably more effective, mirror to some of Nina's issues. (Alphas, TV) 7/10
