Pandora - Recap

The scene opens with Alex shooting Nikita. She takes off the camera that Percy was watching from and the screen goes dark. Roan and two other Division members come in. Roan calls Percy and tells that Nikita is dead. Percy says that he needs to put on the finishing touches and “clean” Nikita. Percy looks at Amanda and says that he can’t believe it. She asks where he is going. He says that he is going to “Oversight” to oversee the mission that is underway. Meanwhile, Birkhoff goes in to see Michael and says that he didn’t know that it was a setup that Percy was planning with the “Sparrow” mission. Michael says that Birkhoff is a coward because he knows that Percy is corrupt and he turns a blind eye. Birkhoff tells that Nikita is dead. Michael says that he told her that it was dangerous to go against Percy. Birkhoff tells that Michael was the one who joined her and encouraged her.

Percy gets to his meeting with the Senator and Chief of Staff and tells that they are there to discuss their agendas. They are not happy with Percy and tell him to get rid of the Black Boxes. He says that he was following orders and they tell that he was ordering unsanctioned missions as well. Percy says that a rouge agent named Nikita has given a Black Box with a nerve gas inside that will kill the Director of the CIA, Ryan Fletcher and a Cryptographer once they open it. He says that they need to put the blame on Nikita so that they are protected from all of it. At the same moment, Ryan asks the Director to come in and tells them about Nikita and he green-lights the operation. They ask what they do now. Percy says that they sit and wait. At Division Amanda says that she wanted to see for herself the woman who killed Nikita. However, what Amanda doesn’t know is that Alex took a toxin that makes it look like a person is dead and injected Nikita with it.

Meanwhile at the warehouse, Roan is getting into the process of “cleaning” Nikita and injects her with a muscle relaxant that flushes out the toxin. She kicks acid in Roan’s face and he runs out screaming. Nikita manages to get herself up with a struggle and sees the neurotoxin that Percy had installed in the Black Box. She realizes that Ryan has it and leaves a message on his phone telling him not to open it. Back at the meeting, Percy says that he wants to run the CIA and the Senator isn’t sure about it. Percy gets a call from Roan who tells him that Nikita is alive. The Senator talks to the two other members and tells that they created a monster that all their fingerprints are on. Percy calls someone and tells them that they are activated. Meanwhile, Nikita tries to get a hold of the CIA, but they won’t patch her through unless she gives up her identity. She tells that they are useless. Percy comes in and tells Birkhoff that he needs to get into Langley and Birkhoff tells that it is hard and could result in something bad. He says that Nikita is alive and they need to find her. Amanda overhears and Percy says to do as she pleases with Alex because she tricked them. Birkhoff sees Nikita walk through the door. She walks up to the front desk and tells her name.

Meanwhile, Amanda goes up to Alex and she asks Amanda what is going on up there. Amanda tells that Alex knows and says that Percy has instructed her to activate her kill chip. She tells that she can go ahead and Amanda asks why she helped Nikita. Amanda says that she knows that Alex needed to see the look in her eye and Alex tells her that she doesn’t care about Nikita or Division. Meanwhile, Nikita talks to two Agents and they ask how she knows their protocols. She tells them to dial into the room where Ryan is and they try, but the lines are dead because Birkhoff disabled them. Meanwhile, Michael’s restraints are released and door is open by an unknown source and he goes out of the room. Ryan and the Cryptographer have the last part of the Black Box cracked. Ryan sees that the phones are dead and says that he is going to get the Director. Back in the interview room, Percy’s agent comes in and tells that Nikita is a security threat for killing two agents. He shoots them and Nikita manages to take the man’s gun and shoot him. She runs off toward the room where Ryan and the Directors are and saves their life before the neurotoxins can do any damage. CIA officers arrest Nikita and Percy watches as his plan fails.

Amanda continues to talk to Alex before activating her kill chip and asks who saved her. Alex says that Nikita saved her. However, Amanda asks who kept her alive all the years that she was alone. Alex says that she did herself. Amanda asks why she is still alive and Alex says that she wants to live. Amanda kills Alex and walks over and grabs the adrenaline. She injects her with it and tells that she had to short-out her kill chip to deactivate it. She tells that she is free and tells her to stay away from Nikita. Alex asks about Percy and Amanda says that he has enough to worry about right now. Meanwhile, Percy goes into his safe and takes out the Black Box. Michael comes up and takes him down. Percy says that if he dies, the Guardians upload the Black Boxes. Michael knocks him unconscious. He goes into see Birkhoff and he tells Michael that it was him who unlocked Michael’s restraints and freed him.

Nikita talks to the Director and tells him that she can’t tell him anything because too many lives will be in danger. Ryan tells that he is going to be in prison. Nikita tells that Ryan didn’t do anything and Ryan says that he is now. He takes a chair and knocks out the guard. He takes his gun and points it at the director. He tells that Nikita is to break him out of prison and she agrees. She hears an announcement. It is Michael. She calls the extension he gives and gets a walkie-talkie from the guard. They track the other’s radio too and tell her were to go. However, Birkhoff is kicked out of the CIA and Nikita is left on her own. She manages to escape without any wound. She goes into the apartment and calls Michael. She tells that she is going to torch the loft and tells him to meet her outside. Birkhoff has finished decrypting the Black Box that Percy had and tells him that it is going to be dangerous for him if he releases the information and not only will Division be after him, the entire world too. Back at the loft, Nikita gets the bombs set and someone sneaks up behind her and Nikita turns around. It is Alex.

Nikita asks what she needs and Alex tells that she needed to make it look real and that she doesn’t need Nikita because she is after another person. Nikita tries to convince her not to, but she says that she has her mind made up. Nikita tells that her mission was to kill all the members of the Udinov Family. However, she went against Division and spared Alex. She tries to go away from Nikita and they start fighting. Suddenly Division breaks through the windows and Percy is in his office telling them to kill them both. Nikita and Alex manage to get to the top of the building and kill all the Division Agents inside. Percy watches as his second plan falls apart. Nikita and Alex get to the top and Nikita zip-lines across. She tosses the line back to Alex, but she cuts the line and they give a non-verbal goodbye. Nikita goes down and meets Michael. He tells that he is sick of people telling him that she is dead. Alex walks down the street and is tranquilized by two men.

She wakes up in front of the Division Group. She asks who they are and the Senator tells that she will be spared if she works with them. Nikita and Michael drive off and back at the council they ask Alex to stop Nikita. She tells that she will never help. Amanda comes up and tells that Division is changed and Alex says that she visited Sergei Zamak, the man who ordered her family’s death. Amanda says that they agree and they have all the resources. In the car, Nikita asks if things have reached a point that she couldn’t come back. She says that the box is going to get them in trouble and Michael tells her to stop thinking about the past and think about the future instead. She says that the future is what she is worried about. The episode ends.
