Hard Landing
Last time on La Femme Nikita, Nikita was sent on an abeyance mission but Michael helped her escape. It has now been 6 months and Michael has not heard from Nikita and he is afraid she never got out. Meanwhile, Nikita is living somewhere in the world working as a waitress until she is spotted by some Freedom League members and is captured. She is then interrogated and video taped to show Section One that they have her. Later on in her cell, Nikita escapes but she knows that word will get back to Section that she is alive so she goes to find Michael. Back at Section, since Michael can not get his act together since he lost Nikita, another operative, Ackerman, is leading a mission to take down the Freedom League since somehow the Freedom League seems to know all of Section One's moves. Michael goes on a mission to retrieve an engineer but almost gets caught inside the mission van when it explodes. As he tries to run for cover, someone saves him from getting shot. It is Nikita, she is not dead after all. Nikita contacts Michael and they meet up at her abandoned boathouse. Michael pounces and we get some hot monkey love. ("I thought I lost you." "You never had me.") The next day Michael wants her back inside Section and Nikita agrees saying that running is not life. They need to figure out a way. Thankfully the way comes when the Freedom League's tape of Nikita is seen by Operations and Madeline. They think she has been kidnapped all this time. With Michael's (really Nikita's) intel of where the Freedom League is located, Section One goes in to destroy it and get Nikita out. Nikita sneaks back inside so that Michael can keep the illusion that she had been a captive for 6 months. Nikita and Michael make it out just in time and everyone is surprised she is alive. Back at Section, Michael tells Operations that the double agent working for the Freedom League was Ackerman and that Nikita never gave up any of their locations. ("For the next three days you'll be subjected to an intense debriefing. You will cooperate with us because you know how things are done here. When we're done with you, you'll be canceled. Any questions?") Nikita, now back in Section, is resting trying to heal from her "interrogation wounds". Michael enters and Nikita hopes that now that she is back in Section, she and Michael can have some more of that wild monkey love. But Michael knows that they have to be careful and take it slow. ("All we have is our dreams.")

Spec Ops
Since Michael is too close to Nikita, Operations and Madeline decide that another operative from Special Ops, Jurgan, should be the one who will evaluate and train Nikita. Michael does not trust Jurgan and is scared he will find out that Nikita was not captured. Michael's next mission is to bring back a Freedom League operative, Kudrin, who escaped when Section One bombed their hideout last episode. Michael cannot let this man be captured since he could tell Operations and Madeline that Nikita was only there for two days not 6 months. As Michael tracks down Kudrin, Nikita starts her training with Jurgan. All he wants is for her to be honest with him, but Nikita knows that she can't do that. Unfortunately, Kudrin survives his capture by Michael and is interrogated by Madeline. After training with Jurgan, Nikita is scared that Jurgan might know what's going on. Also she wants to get funky with Michael. ("I came back for you.") But again Michael tells her no and to be careful. ("Get over it.") Michael goes on another mission to get the Freedom League's directory. He finds it but destroys the computer it is on just incase it says anything about Nikita. Meanwhile, Operations, Madeline, and even Jurgan start to get suspicious of where Nikita really was for six months. But Michael has a plan, he will take care of Kudrin by offering to let him die if he lies for him and Nikita has to take care of Jurgan. She can't kill Jurgan but luckily for her Jurgan tells her that he will keep her secret.

Third Person
As Nikita continues to train with Jurgan, Michael becomes increasingly scared that Jurgan will tell on both of them since no one in Section is nice enough to keep a secret without wanting something in return. Jurgan is still keeping her secret and gets Nikita back to provisional status though she still must be kept close to Jurgan just in case. Nikita goes on her first mission with Michael in charge and Jurgan in tow and everything goes as planned. Back at Section, it seems that Jurgan has acquired a little crush on Nikita asking her for coffee and going by her apartment. Since Michael seems to hate Jurgan, Nikita needs another opinion so she asks Walter. Walter says Jurgan's ok. ("He's in what I call the Five Percent Club. Ninety-five percent of the Recruits have their souls sucked out of them the first year. For some reason, this place doesn't get everybody.") Jurgan goes to Nikita's apartment and they talk. He tells Nikita about how he got into Section and just when they were starting to relax a jealous Michael calls her in. Michael tells Nikita that Jurgan is lying and that he is really a murderer. She doesn't believe him. On the next mission, Michael tries to get Jurgan and his whole team killed. Jurgan is pissed and Michael is jealous so they decide to settle this like men. Beat the crap out of each other then pretend like everything is fine. I guess they settled their differences because on the next mission to take down Helix, Michael shoots Jurgan to save his life. Afterwards, Nikita goes in to make plans for a date with Jurgan and while walking out, blows off Michael's invitation for a date.

Approaching Zero
A Norwegian satellite was on the way into space when a booster exploded causing the payload to fall into the North Sea intact. Since most satellites have a nuclear power source (a material that could be used as a weapon) Section needs to retrieve the satellite before the Fifth Order or Russian Mafia get to it. Michael, Nikita and Jurgan are sent to retrieve it. Not only are they all still on the same team but Nikita and Jurgan seem to becoming "a team" outside of Section as well but Jurgan and Michael still don't see eye to eye. It's probably because of Nikita ("Patented Michael answer, the blank stare. If you're jealous, just be jealous, tell me not to see him") and the fact that Jurgan seems to be able to do anything in Section he wants and does not get yelled at by Operations. Nikita is curious why Jurgan's such a special case and she finds out that it's because Jurgan has information on Section One that could destroy it so they let him do whatever he wants so he won't tell. Section One is sick of catering to Jurgan. They purposefully put Nikita and Jurgan together so that they will like each other so this way it will be easier to set up Jurgan. Michael bugs Nikita without her knowledge so that when she goes to visit Jurgan, Section can get his access codes. Just as Nikita and Jurgan are about to get it on, Michael calls them both back in. Section sends Nikita and Jurgan on a mission so Michael and Birkoff can get into Jurgan's house and destroy all the information he has on Section One. When they come back, they both know they were set up. On the next mission things don't go as planned. A bomb doesn't go off like it should. Since Jurgan believes that his life is over now that he doesn't have anything over Section anymore, he goes in to set the bomb off. He blows up real good. R.I.P. Jurgan.

New Regime
Operations is briefing the team about an upcoming mission when he is interrupted by the sound of an approaching Operative, Kronen, angrily yelling about how he hates this place. To show how much he hates it, he shoot Operations twice before Walter can take him down. Since Operations is in very critical condition, another head operative is brought in to take Operation's place. He is Ingran Petrosian who was an undercover operative for Section in Russia where he infiltrated the KGB until Section One brought him back in during the episode Rescue. Petrosian starts making many changes including giving Nikita the job to provide technical oversight for the mission over Madeline. Madeline does not trust Petrosian at all and wants Operations to get better fast. ("Go back inside. Tell your colleagues to do the possible, then the impossible, and then the unthinkable, until he's out of danger. Because when you're finished, Doctor, that room will contain either four living men or four corpses. Do you understand?") Nikita does well with her first mission to provide technical oversight and gets the promotion to second in command since Petrosian needs his own "Madeline". This new position has its bad sides and good sides. She has to spy on Walter and her other friends for Petrosian. While talking to Walter, she learns that Kronen was talking about his mom and that is always trouble in Section and on the next mission an operative Sykes messes up. For her good work, Petrosian gives Nikita a reward. He is offering her a full life outside Section, maybe a life with Michael. This new power starts to go to Nikita's head. ("Am I under orders to please you?" "Of course...not") [Personally, I would have left out the not] ("If I'm dealing with the devil, its because sometimes the devil is the only one open for business...it bothers you that I have so much more power now.") Meanwhile, Operation's progress back to health is slow and steady. Now back in Section, Petrosian makes Nikita cancel Sykes to show that he can trust her. Nikita can't do it so Madeline does it for her. Both Nikita and Madeline have figured out that Petrosian hired Kronen to kill Operations and Madeline wants Nikita to choose which side she is on. Nikita chooses Section's side and gets Petrosian to "kill" Operations, exposing him and his plan. Operations is fine and everything returns to normal except for Petrosian who is cancelled.

Mandatory Refusal
Dorian Enquist is a fringe member of the terrorist community. Supplier, fixer, informant. Whatever needs to get done, he'll do it. He's been on Section's "Green List" for years because of his ability to play both sides. Section has asked him to acquire a large quantity of Semtex, an untraceable plastique used widely in Europe. However, it appears he's having second thoughts and it may end up in the wrong hands. Enquist does not want to sell to Section at all, he wants to rip them off so Operations decides to kill Enquist and just take the material. On the mission, Michael's Comm Link's has been compromised because he is getting commands from somewhere else so Michael goes on Mandatory Refusal, which means he'll assume the Section has been breached and will severe all communications until his Mission is complete. Unfortunately, Madeline gets kidnapped and the only way to save her is to call off Michael. Since Section can't reach him they send Nikita and team in after Michael to stop him, dead or alive. Michael will not listen to Nikita or anyone else because he is not sure if everyone is now compromised. As everyone is searching for Michael, Madeline is being tortured by Enquist. She is tough and even stops her own heart for a few seconds to get Enquist to play by her rules. Operations needs to stop Michael at all costs so he sends a team in to kill Michael at Enquist's house when Michael gets there. Nikita goes along and takes out the power in the house and moves in to get Madeline and gets Operations to take the hit off Michael. Michael kills Enquist, gets the material, and calls into Section saying that his mission is complete. Nikita wonders why Michael did not trust her. He tells her "If it were anyone else who came after me I would have killed them. I can't allow you to become my weakness."

First Mission
Section One is being stretched thin because of the large number of missions they have going out. Another mission comes up but they have no one to send so Operations looks at the Contingency List and finds that Nikita is the next choice. It's three years ahead of the usual curve, but it can't be helped. She'll have to learn as she goes. Her mission is to capture Peter Stark, who has been buying spent fuel rods from reactors in Eastern Europe. Section wants to know his methods and sources, so he needs to be taken alive. Nikita chooses Taylor, Mentz, and Vizcano for her team. Nikita tries to treat her team differently than how they are normally treated in Section but her team doesn't seem to care. Nikita and her team fail their first mission together and Nikita gets yelled at by Operations. Vizcano was the one who failed on the mission but Nikita won't put her on abeyance. Later, Nikita sees Vizcano's psych profile that says that she is in love with Michael and is fixated on him. She even tried to kill herself last year. Nikita is upset that Michael didn't warn her but Michael says "The best thing that could happen to a Team leader is to have a rebellious Operative. Because if you control that Operative, you control the Team. That's why I chose you for so many Missions, early on. It's best to be ruthless. But, if you're not, it's essential to appear that way." Nikita takes Michael's advice and gets the team to obey her. On the next mission, Nikita saves Vizcano and they retrieve their target. Vizcano tells Nikita about how she used to love Michael and warns Nikita to stay away from Michael. ("Michael doesn't need a companion, he needs a quest.")

But Section gets to the guy first. Nikita and Adrian try to escape but Michael and team catch them at Adrian's place. Michael tries to get Nikita to run but she won't. This is because she is actually working for Operations all along so that Section can capture Adrian. But after hearing all that Adrian has said Nikita is not sure that Operations should still be the one who should head Section. ("It's over when I say it's over.") She tells him to explain his deeds or she will release the Gemstone file on the internet. After she listens to both Operations and Adrian's views she decides that Operations is right and she stops the file from going on the net. ("Are the crimes we've committed worse than the crimes we've prevented? And the people we've brought down: is the world a better place without them?") Michael is afraid that they will now cancel Nikita for her insolence, but Nikita tries to convince herself that she is not afraid. Operations and Madeline decide to increase Nikita's mission frequency instead of canceling her. That way the problem will take care of itself.
