Plot summary
Division is tasked with protecting Serbian leader Mirko Dadich, who was exiled from his country for war crimes, in exchange for uranium in Dadich's possession. Alex is activated for an operation earlier than expected; the assignment is to entertain the leader during his stay in America. As Nikita attempts to take out Dadich, he is kidnapped by a group of mercenaries led by the daughter of the lead scientist responsible for Dadich's nuclear program. Both Nikita and Division trace their location to a New York Subway station; it is a race to get the GPS device to locate the uranium.
During the firefight between Division and the mercenaries, Nikita steals the GPS device and destroys it. As Dadich is no longer useful, Michael kills him. A flashback from a year ago shows Nikita meeting Alex after saving her life from drug dealers, and then helping Alex through detox before training her. In the flashback, Nikita reveals that she has been searching for Alex for over 2 years, and knows who she really is.
