Previously on ‘Nikita’…
After being framed for assassinating the president, Nikita went on the run. She returned three months later, only to learn that Amanda and The Shop were linking her alleged assassination to Pakistan in an effort to start a third world war.
As Michael and Nikita fought to stop The Shop from taking control of Pakistan’s missiles, a secret message from Birkhoff’s captive father led the team to The Shop’s headquarters. Meanwhile, the return of Ramon inspired Michael to rethink his hard feelings toward Nikita.
The team rescued the president from the Shop’s clutches, thus clearing Nikita’s name, while Jones was captured by the CIA and Amanda appeared to be killed in an explosion. However, Amanda is still alive and in control of the black site Jones was taken to.
Elsewhere, Sam and Alex continued their unconventional partnership. But when Alex was given reason to doubt Sam’s loyalty, she sent him to meet a contact with fake diamonds and a tracker.
