Nikita: Crazy ep tonight. So Percy's been trying to sow discord in division by kidnapping random Division agents and framing Gogol to undermine Amanda. Obviously, she can't exactly send Division against them, which is frustrating for her underlings, especially new minor characters Mason and brunette girl who's name I've forgotten. It seems Sonya's the only one not questioning Amanda.
So, she actually goes to Nikita to get Percy, by offering Ryan in trade. They manage to find Percy, ostensibly though Birkhoff guiding Sonya through using some old program he had in Division. But its a ruse. They figured Carla was feeding Percy info, and actually traced the text she sent Percy saying to watch out and they were tracking him. So they're able to get hold of Percy and get ready to trade him for Ryan.
They continue to feed Carla misinformation, and set it up so Patrick and Roan end up stumbling on to Amanda's agent assigned to double cross them and launch a rocket at them once Michael, Nikki and Ryan are together. They kill him before he do that, and the gang manages to get away in the chaos. But not before killing Patrick, who they had to trap a bunch of heavy piping so he'd be still enough for Nikita to spear him through the heart with another piece of pipe.
So Percy's lost his last remaining Guardian, but may have gained an ally in Mason. Percy manages to talk him into hesitating, and signals Roan to only knock him out instead of killing him. So he may have an in with Division now.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Birkhoff tries to detain Carla, revealing they knew she betrayed them. She doesn't think he's a killer, so she walks away. He's so nervous he accidentally shoots her in the back. Needless to say, she's pissed, and grabs an MP5 lying around and fires back at him. Birkhoff ends up mortally wounding her in self defense.
Nikita and the gang arrive back in time for Nikki to have some final words with Carla, who even in death says Division can still do good, after all, they forged Nikita.
As for Alex, she's back in Moscow, and Nikita has sent Sean to her as backup. She intends to rescue her mother, while he has a device to wipe the black box. He gives her some words of encouragement, saying she can convince her mother to come with her. Unfortunately, Semak has sent her away, and Ari was unaware, meaning Semak no longer trusts him either. Ryan uses the device to surreptitiously clone Ari's hard drive in the hopes of finding Alex's mom's whereabouts.
They don't, but they do find a pretty big piece of info, that Ari had a deep cover agent in MI-6. Given there's only one major MI-6 character on this show, its no surprise that his mole was Cassandra. aav('Whaaaaatttt!!?') I hope Sean and Alex call home and warn Nikita ASAP!
