Nikita

Nikita (Maggie Q) steals funds from Oversight, forcing them to host an emergency meeting. Nikita and Birkoff (Aaron Stanford) figure out how to spy on the meeting so that Nikita can identify the other members, but things go awry and Sean (Dillon Casey) captures Birkoff. Amanda (Melinda Clarke) tortures Birkoff when he refuses to give up Nikita's whereabouts. Meanwhile, Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca) sets her plan in motion to reclaim her father's empire. With a price on her head, she realizes the easiest way to get into Russia undetected is the same way she was smuggled out — through the illegal sex ring.

Michael (Shane West) becomes alarmed when he hears Cassandra (guest star Helena Mattsson) is in trouble and rushes off to help her. He discovers General Tupelov (guest star Paulino Nunes) has accused her of stealing $2 million and has threatened to kill her unless she returns it. However, Nikita (Maggie Q) grows suspicious when Cassandra’s story doesn’t add up. Meanwhile, Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca) receives a very tempting offer from Percy (Xander Berekley) that could give her the resources to eliminate Semak.

While in prison, Ryan (guest star Noah Bean) discovers patterns that reveal how Oversight gets its funding. He arranges a meeting with Nikita (Maggie Q) to fill her in, but Amanda (Melinda Clarke) intercepts their coded messages and alerts Oversight, who sends in one of their own to interrogate Ryan. It’s a race against time as Nikita and Michael (Shane West) scramble to break Ryan out of prison before Oversight can get to him. Meanwhile, Gogol tails Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca), who comes face to face with someone from her past.

While searching for information on the black box, Birkoff (Aaron Stanford) comes across Nikita’s (Maggie Q) birth certificate. Nikita and Michael (Shane West) track down Nikita’s father Richard (guest star David Keith), but the reunion is not quite what Nikita expected. Percy (Xander Berekley) tells Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca) that the black box that Nikita has contains information that could help her avenge her father’s death.

Nikita (Maggie Q) is stunned when she hears that her old Division partner Kelly (guest star Katheryn Winnick) escaped from a Turkish prison. Nikita thought Kelly had died years ago and always felt responsible because it happened on the mission where Nikita escaped from Division. Knowing Amanda (Melinda Clarke) will go after Kelly, Nikita tells Michael (Shane West) they have to go to Turkey to help her. Amanda sends Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca) and Roan (guest star Rob Stewart) to Europe to stop the former partners from reuniting.

Michael (Shane West) learns that Cassandra (guest star Helena Mattsson), a woman he once romanced under Division orders, is in danger. Feeling guilty for how things ended, he wants to help her, but Nikita (Maggie Q) suspects there is more to it than easing his conscience. Amanda (Melinda Clarke) manipulates Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca) into aiding her on a mission, but Sean (Dillon Casey) gets caught in Amanda’s web of lies and begins to doubt Division’s true motives.

The Black Box secrets reveal that a terrorist whom Nikita (Maggie Q) captured years ago has been working for Division, and Nikita foils Amanda’s (Melinda Clarke) plan to get Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca) to carry out an assassination.

Nikita (Maggie Q) and Michael (Shane West) reunite with Owen (Devon Sawa) while digging into a corrupt Division program. Owen is on the hunt for Dr. Mars (John Ralston), the program's mastermind. Dr. Mars created the Regimen drug that controls Owen, and Owen hopes the doc can provide a cure. Michael is hesitant to trust Owen again, but Nikita decides the three should join forces. Percy (Xander Berekley) demands to see Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca).

With help from an unlikely ally, Nikita (Maggie Q) and Michael (Shane West) plot to take down Division and Oversight with the contents of the black box. Amanda (Melinda Clarke) is now in charge of Division, but Oversight has assigned one of their own, a new agent named Sean (guest star Dillon Casey), to keep an eye on her. Amanda enlists Alex’s (Lyndsy Fonseca) help for her first mission — to get back the black box from Nikita. Alex refuses until Amanda tells her she will help her find the man who killed Alex's father.

In an explosive season finale, Percy (Xander Berekley) makes a move to take over the CIA, Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca) goes rogue, and Michael (Shane West) gets trapped inside Division — keeping him from Nikita (Maggie Q), who may have to pay with her life for helping Alex.

After Michael (Shane West) learns that Percy (Xander Berekley) has ordered Divison to kill anyone who could decrypt the black boxes, he sends Nikita (Maggie Q) in to save the last person on the list, a CIA cryptographer named Malcolm (guest star Rich Sommer). Nikita kidnaps Malcom and takes him to Ryan (guest star Noah Bean) for protection. Meanwhile, Percy turns on Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca).

Frustrated that Nikita (Maggie Q) continues to intercept his black boxes, Percy (Xander Berekley) sends Michael (Shane West) to check on one of the boxes and the guardian attached to it. Nikita makes it to the small Pennsylvania town first and is shocked to find that the guardian is a down-to-earth woman named Dana (guest star Christina Moses) who has abandoned her post and is attempting to live a normal life with her husband and child. Tensions mount when Michael reports Dana's actions and Division swarms in to clean up any evidence of her existence. Meanwhile, Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca) and Jaden (Tiffany Hines) get into an argument, and Nathan (guest star Thad Luckinbill) gets caught in the middle.

Nikita (Maggie Q) believes it's getting too dangerous for Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca) at Division and decides it's time Alex disappeared. Alex agrees, but before the plan can be put in motion, she and Jaden (Tiffany Hines) are assigned to an overseas mission to stop the son of a foreign president (guest star Edi Gathegi) from selling a newly developed nerve toxin. Things go awry, and Alex must decide between saving the mission and saving herself.

Owen (Devon Sawa) returns with information on one of Percy’s (Xander Berekley) black boxes. Nikita (Maggie Q) goes to London with him to retrieve it but notices that Owen is acting strangely. Owen tells Nikita that he wants to release the contents of the black box, and when Nikita disagrees, he turns on her. Meanwhile, Percy finds out Nikita is in London and sends Michael (Shane West) to kill her. Amanda (Melinda Clarke) overhears Jaden (Tiffany Hines) arguing with Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca) about the escape tunnels, so she hooks Alex up to a lie detector to get the truth out of her once and for all.

Michael (Shane West) confronts Nikita (Maggie Q) in her lair and reveals that he knows Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca) is the mole. He tells Nikita that she has 24 hours to find Kasim (guest star Haaz Sleiman), the man who killed Michael's family, or he will tell Percy (Xander Berekley) about Alex.

NIKITA EXPOSES A U.S. SENATOR’S SEX SCANDAL — Division sends Thom to eliminate Anna (guest star Rayisa Kondracki, “The Bridge”), a woman who was having a secret affair with a U.S. Senator. Division agrees to cover up any trace of the affair as long as the Senator agrees to help pass a bill that will continue to fund the agency. Nikita, with Alex’s help, attempts to reach out to Anna’s parents, but the conversation doesn’t go as she expected. Read the full recap here.

When she was a deeply troubled teenager, Nikita was rescued from death row by a secret U.S. agency known only as Division, who faked her execution and told her she was being given a second chance to start a new life and serve her country. What they didn't tell her was that she was being trained as a spy and assassin. Ultimately, Nikita was betrayed and her dreams shattered by the only people she thought she could trust. Now, after three years in hiding, Nikita is seeking retribution and making it clear to her former bosses that she will stop at nothing to expose and destroy their covert operation. For the time being, however, Division continues to recruit and train other young people, erasing all evidence of their former lives and turning them into cold and efficient killers. One of these new recruits, Alex, is just beginning to understand what lies ahead for her and why the legendary Nikita made the desperate decision to run. Read the full recap here.
