Phoenix - Recap

The scene opens with a woman coming home and a man is in the shadows. A woman on a motorcycle is speeding through traffic. The woman on the motorcycle pulls up to the woman’s house and takes off her helmet. It is Nikita. She goes inside and finds the woman’s body on the ground. In a car, Michael is with the man. It is Thom and he tells Michael that everything is done and he made it look like a burglary. Nikita takes out an ID. The dead woman was Anna Harcourt from the United States Justice Department. In the car, Michael tells that Thom eliminated a security threat and welcomes him to the agency as an agent. Nikita is home and contacts with Alex. She tells that Nikita should call up the police and Nikita tells that she doesn’t want Division to know that she is involved yet. She has the dog of Anna’s with her and Nikita tries to find out everything she can about Anna. She starts to look through photographs and find a picture of a man.

Nikita visits the bar where the man works and poses as someone from the Justice Department and asks about Anna. He tells that she was his girlfriend until he followed her to a fancy club. She asks if he remembers the address and he does. Nikita goes to the Regal House and is interrupted by Percy and Senator Jack Kerrigan who come in and Nikita runs upstairs. The Cleaner sees room 17 occupied and he goes upstairs. Nikita hangs up the phone and runs to another room. She hears the conversation and Percy tells the Senator that he needs a bill to pass and get the others to vote. Nikita escapes without anyone knowing.

At Division, Birkhoff runs in Percy’s office and tells that the keycard for Anna was activated. It is Nikita. She gets in and goes to a computer. Percy is panicking and needs to deactivate the keycard. Chip tells Nikita that she is not Anna and flirts with Nikita. Searching Anna’s computer, Nikita finds a doctor’s appointment. She calls and finds out that Anna was pregnant. Nikita leaves and security is chasing her. Nikita writes down a number and steals Chip’s ID badge. Michael and his team arrive and they continue to chase. Brinkhoff tracks her and Percy tells that he has a backup plan for the 911 call to Anna’s address. Michael and his team find the Nikita’s ID and Chip has it. Nikita drops Chip’s badge and runs off. The police enter Anna’s address and find nothing. The Cleaner is there and the police ask him if he has heard anything. He tells that he has not.

Thom is getting ready to go out into the field and he is struggling with his tie. Alex apologizes to him for not being happy for him and helps him with his tie. He tells that the girl he killed was a threat and that she saw him. Nikita pulls up to Anna’s family’s home and tells her parents that Anna is dead and that the people who did it are above the law. The dad tries to call Anna and doesn’t get an answer. Nikita notices that all the pictures are the same and suddenly, she is chocked by the man. The woman holds Nikita’s hands and a fight ensues. The woman is killed and Nikita is knocked unconscious. She wakes up and Ari Teseroff from Gogle, a Russian mercenary group, is there Nikita tells that his handler already called on an unsecured line. Meanwhile, Percy briefs the team and tells that they need to protect Senator Kerrigan and that it is the rules of the game. Back with Nikita, Ari finds out who Nikita is and is impressed. He has Nikita be injected with a toxin that will eat away at her stomach and tells that she can have the antidote when she kills Senator Kerrigan. She agrees.

Back at Division, Alex finds out that she needs to get into medical somehow and get a green pill. That is the anti-toxin that Nikita needs to be able to not kill Senator Kerrigan and live. At first, Alex tells that it is impossible, but Nikita tells that she needs it and Alex agrees. She spares with a guy who eventually breaks her wrist. While in medical, the doctor tries to tell her that it is a sprain and to give her more time, she tells that she needs and x-ray. This gives her the time she needs and gets the antidote to the toxin in Nikita’s body. She runs up to the weaponry and no one is there. Thinking she is too late, Thom enters and Alex kisses him and wishes him good luck while putting the pill in his coat pocket. Nikita gets a text saying that the pill is in Thom’s pocket. Ari’s handler pulls up and tries to give Nikita mission advice and she laughs at it.

They arrive at the Regal House and she tells him to wait. She sneaks up on a guard and tells that if he wants to live, he needs to tell some lies. The guard tells that there is a car out front that was suspicious. Michael and his team kill the handler and Nikita finds out that they are taking the Senator to the kitchen. Nikita meets Thom and the Senator in the kitchen and knocks Thom unconscious and takes the green pill from his pocket. She has the Senator confess to the affair and at the same moment, it is being recorded. Michael comes in but doesn’t find Nikita. He hears her laugh and finds out that she is with the Senator. They tell that they have to get fresh air and Michael follows. Nikita drags the Senator to her car and takes out the dead handler and drives off.

The next scene shows Nikita in the bar of Anna’s ex-boyfriend. She tells that Senator Kerrigan will not see office anymore now that the affair is out. Nikita tells Oliver that he was the only thing real in Anna’s life and that he was a good boyfriend to her. She walks out and finds Ari in a car. He tells that she found the green pill and Nikita tells that she is resourceful. Ari offers his services to help get the black boxes and take down Division. Nikita tells that she can’t let that happen because Gogle will just take over and it will still be a problem. Ari asks if it doesn’t stop with Division, when will it end. She tells that she will let him know when she gets there.
