Hookin' For Uranium

In Nikita's loft, a long night of listening to a police scanner pays off when she overhears a report on "her" stolen van. She races off.

Charm School HQ. Birkhoff works his computer magic to find surveillance footage of Dadich stashing the GPS device inside a subway station before he was arrested. Hannah and the interlopers are already there with Dadich. He leads them to a locker inside the station. "Very clever," Hanna remarks. Really? Don't half of all baddies in movies do exactly this? It almost never ends well. As soon as Hannah has the satchel with the GPS device, Nikita is there to grab it away. Hanna and her men pull guns and fire. Subway patrons scream and scatter. Nikita fires back. Michael and Division operatives arrive on the scene. Rock music and guns blaze. Dadich hides behind a column. Hanna's men are taken out in moments. Hanna herself advances on Michael, gun raised. Michael shoots her in the upper chest and she goes down. Nikita takes the opportunity to slip away. Dadich points in her direction and Michael runs. He chases her down to an empty subway platform, calling her name. She jumps down to the tracks and climbs up the opposite side. Michael, his gun trained on her, demands she give him the GPS. "You can have it," she says cheerfully, tossing the bag onto the tracks just as a train comes into view. The bag is promptly smushed. "Oops!" Nikita says. By the time the train thunders past, Michael is aiming at empty space.

Michael is one unhappy baby otter. He goes back to Dadich, who wants a gun so he can kill Hanna. Michael ignores him and calls Percy. He fills Percy in on the details and asks how he's going to explain the mess to the police when they arrive. Percy thinks for a second and then: "You're the heroic agent who foiled a terrorist plot to deliver nuclear material into the hands of our enemies." But what to do with Dadich? He'll just blab to the police. Percy thinks a bit longer. "He was the one behind it," he says. Michael's mood brightens ever so slightly. Dadich starts trying to kiss his ass, but Michael just takes out his gun, aims it at Dadich's head, and pulls the trigger.

In her loft, Nikita is watching the news reports about the supposed terrorist plot. "Good save, Percy," Nikita says, lifting a glass of wine.

Charm School training facility. Alex is having it out with a heavy bag. Michael approaches her. I just noticed how bright blue his suit is. It's almost pimptastic... which I guess is oddly fitting for this episode. Alex tries to thank him for saving her, but he cuts her off. Percy's disappointed with her performance. "You've been given two weeks to show visible improvement," he says, "or it's over." Jaden's in trouble, too, but I have a hard time caring about that.
