Season 5 Episode Guide



Episode 1. Deja Vu All Over Again
Mr Jones tells Nikita that he needs her for one more mission, so she returns to Section to infiltrate a summit meeting between a number of terrorist factions. With her is Marco O'Brien, Michael's replacement and the cop that Nikita framed and recruited for Section in season one.

Episode 2. A Girl Who Wasn't There
Nikita finds clues about why she was recruited into Section. Is it possible her father was an operative, codenamed Flavius, and that she has a sibling with the initial "M" who is somewhere in the covert world she lives in? Quinn redesigns Birkoff's Artificial Intelligence program to build a holographic replica of Madeline, complete with Madeline's memories and psychological profile. But when Operations makes a few "alterations" to the AI's profile, he spends more time reliving the past than making clear sighted plans for the future, leaving Nikita's team vulnerable.

Episode 3. In Through the Out Door
After the explosion of the house where Nikita goes looking for her father, she enlists Walter and Jason to help decrypt the disc she discovered there. It leads her to the convalescence home where Michael left Adrian, which proves fortunate for Nikita, since she needs a cure for the longterm affects of the Gelman process that can only be synthesized using tissue samples from Adrian's remains. Now the only questions that remain is who is leaving Nikita these clues, Michael or Nikita's father? And is O'Brien on Nikita's side, or Operations?

Episode 4. All the World's a Stage
After someone breaches Section and breaks into her room, Nikita is more determined than ever to find out the truth about why she was brought into Section. She arranges to get at Mr. Jones personally by having him go out as "Mick Schtoppel" on a mission against an arms dealer with ties to The Collective, by the name of Massima Valenti. Was Operations telling the truth in "Deja Vu All Over Again" when he told Nikita that "Mr. Jones is not what he appears to be...?" Is Nikita making a big mistake in pushing the issue? Meanwhile, Quinn continues to put the "moves" on Operations, but what is she really up to?

Episode 5. The Man Behind the Curtain
Nikita finally comes face to face with her father, the real Mr. Jones, but rather than being an "emotional" reunion, Mr. Jones is all business, and immediately sets Nikita out on a new mission: finding The Collective's "mole" in Section One! Mr. Jones' two candidates are Operations and Marco O'Brien. Mr. Jones thinks it's the latter, but Nikita suspects the former. Meanwhile, the two co-heads of The Collective, Graff and Haled clash over tactics, and whether to trust their "mole's" intel about Section One. Then they discover the identity of the mole, and it doesn't look good for Nikita or Section.

Episode 6. The Evil That Men Do
Nikita and Mr. Jones had The Collective's "mole" narrowed down to two suspects: Operations and the late Marco O'Brien, but Mr. Jones has a another possibility: that Michael Samuelle is still alive, and that he is the "mole." While granting to Mr. Jones the theoretical possibility that Michael may be alive, Nikita denies that he would ever betray Section for real. Meanwhile, Operations sets out personally to see to it that an anti-Collective mission goes according to his own plan, but it's The Collective that is poised to blow Operations' plane out of the sky! Can and will Nikita save Operations' derriere one last time or will their personal vendetta mean curtains for him?

Episode 7. Let No Man Put Asunder
The situation is dire as The Collective, still led by Graff and Haled, is cleaning Section's clock. But, just in time, Michael asks Nikita to help him return to Section, where his re-emergence is viewed with suspicion by both Mr. Jones and Operations. While new missions continue against The Collective with Michael's return, Nikita admits that she lied to him in "Four Light Years Further," and that she does indeed love him. Operations discovers that The Collective has infiltrated Section's mainframe to try to locate and kidnap Michael's son Adam, in attempt to re-assert control over him. Can Operations foil The Collective's plans?

Episode 8. A Time for Every Purpose
Nikita faces up to her ultimate destiny, to take over Section One. Meanwhile, Michael re-enters the picture and kidnaps Mr Jones, who he plans to give to The Collective in return for his son. Now, Nikita must make a choice: should she sacrifice her own destiny, or Michael's son? Her fateful decision will forever determine her future... and the future of everyone around her.
