Nikita wants to resist, but in order to stay alive, she has no choice, but to comply with their plans.

When Nikita meets with a contact to find out who has attempted to assassinate Mijovich, Nikita is recognized by Julie, a childhood friend.

Mother
A nuclear trigger is stolen by a cold-blooded terrorist couple responsible for killing an entire team of Section One operatives.

However, this leads to unexpected consequences for both "mother" and "daughter."

Nikita must now decide whether to risk the wrath of Section One by rescuing the ""traitor's"" son.
Escape
A mysterious Section One operative offers Nikita a seemingly ironclad opportunity to escape from Section One for good.
