Plot summary
Amanda orders former Division cleaner Anne to break Owen out of a Russian prison regarding "Operation Skeleton Key", a cryptograph that allows users to hack into anything. Owen is the only remaining person to know its location. He escapes and later sends Michael and Nikita to recover Skeleton Key from a cemetery. The two are ambushed by Anne and ex-Gogol agents, who steal the cryptograph. One of the wounded mercenaries is brought back to Division, where doctors unwittingly unleash a vial of sarin from his lungs. Amanda later uses the cryptograph to release a video warning to destroy Division.
Sonya tracks Amanda to a hideout in Luxembourg with Ari Tasarov. A team is sent to retrieve the cryptograph, while Owen confronts Amanda to learn who he was before Division (Amanda erased his memories). Amanda admits to Ari that getting Owen was the mission the entire time. However, the mission is abandoned when Nikita finds Owen, allowing Amanda, Anne and Ari to escape. Meanwhile, Sean admits to Alex, who has secretly turned to drugs again, that he loves her, but does not wish to have a relationship if she remains in Division. Birkhoff realizes that Amanda has a mole inside Division.
