Plot summary

Michael and Nikita travel to Minsk, Belarus to help Cassandra Ovechkin, a woman Michael fell in love with on a mission six years ago to assassinate her husband, President Valeri Ovechkin in exchange for a double. However, the double is now resorting to the same tyranny as the real Ovechkin. Michael learns Cassandra has a son, Max, and Nikita realizes that Michael still desires a family after the deaths of his. Meanwhile, Amanda sends Division agent Lisa (Shauna Bradley) to stop Ovechkin, but is captured. Sean and Alex work together to rescue her, but are too late when they witness her execution.

Sean then resorts to killing Ovechkin. However, their plan is inadvertently inter-twined with Michael and Nikita's plan to rescue Cassandra and Max; Sean places a bomb in Ovechkin's car, which Cassandra enters, though Nikita rescues them beforehand. Sean later succeeds in killing Ovechkin and blaming a dead bodyguard for the crime. Before they part, Nikita realises that Max is Michael's son. Meanwhile, Amanda allows Percy to have more privileges in his cell.
