Michael says that he is going to go to London to see his son. Birkoff is confused and Nikita tells him to stay out of it. Birkhoff says that he is not equipped for children and Michael says that he is just visiting. Birkhoff says that he is fine with it. Meanwhile, Alex is awoken by Sean and he tells her to put on recruit clothes. He leads her to “the boss” and she sees that Percy is there. He addresses her as a recruit. She says that she is out of there, but she is trapped. Alex wakes up from her nightmare. Michael arrives in London and watches as Max and Cassandra are hugging a man goodbye. Michael comes up to the door and Cassandra opens the door. He says that he wants five minutes. He says that he wants to look at Max. She tells him that he has five minutes. Michael goes inside and Max gives him a cookie. He asks if Michael can go on a walk with them. She tells him to get his shoes.

Nikita and Birkhoff look up information on Madeline Pearce and Birkhoff tells Nikita that Michael is on a walk with Cassandra and Max. Nikita sees that they have a follower behind them. Nikita calls him and tells him about it. Michael tells Cassandra to take Max and hide somewhere. Michael manages to take down the men who are trying to kill him and then goes up to Cassandra. He says that he thinks that the men were after him. However, Cassandra tells him that they are after her. Nikita tells Birkhoff to get her on the next flight to London because Michael is in trouble. Michael goes back to the house with Cassandra and Max and she tells Michael that the men are guards of General Tubalov. She tells him that he doesn’t have to do this, but he says that he will stay up. Meanwhile, Alex goes to Percy and he says that she needs to think what she really needs to get to Semak. He says that if she makes a transfer, he will give her $100,000. He tells her that Semak is living in her old house.

Back in London, Nigel comes up and Cassandra says that he has been taking Max to school every morning. Michael meets him and it is clear that both men are unsure of one another. Michael finds that Nikita arrived in London and apologizes to her. She tells that Tubalov is not in London. They go to where Tubalov is and Michael tells him to leave Cassandra alone. He laughs and says that they have unfinished business. The guards push Michael a little and Michael and Nikita hit the men and Michael hits Tubalov over and over again until Nikita pulls him off and says that he got the message. Meanwhile in Washington D.C., Sean meets with Madeline and she says that she has her own security and she would never attack a U.S. Senator. Sean says that Alex has a bond with Nikita and Sean suggests that he is going to seduce her to get her on his side. Michael and Nikita get into the house to find that there are 18 missed calls. The phone rings and it is Tubalov. He says that he has Cassandra and that she told him that she gave the $200 Million to him for safe keeping. He says that he better get it to him or everyone’s luck runs out.

Michael talks to Birkhoff and he says that he can tell that Max is safe and sound and that Cassandra was kidnapped and put into a duffle bag. The SUV is in the middle of nowhere now. Nikita says that she doesn’t trust Cassandra and says that she doesn’t want to go in there blind. Back in the hideout, Tubalov tells Cassandra that she is going to die in a horrible car crash from having too many martinis. They inject her with a sedative. Back at Division, Alex takes the information that Percy gave her about the accounts and types in the transfer amound. However, Sean comes up behind her and asks what she is doing. Nikita and Michael arrive at the location of the SUV and see the guards. They attack and the guards inside take Cassandra and put her into a car. Michael goes inside the shed to find that Cassandra is gone, but can’t get out. One of the guards sets the shed on fire and Michael tells Nikita to get Cassandra, but Nikita saves Michael’s life instead. They watch as the guards push the car over the cliff. However, Cassandra comes up and takes down the guards. They are impressed with Cassandra’s moves. She reveals that she is British Intelligence and that they need to take down Tubalov.

Back at Division, Sean says that he can’t believe that she is helping Percy. She says that the price was right. She tells that she needs to get the black box to get the information and needs the money to get to Semak. Division guards come in and Sean tells them that Amanda gave him clearance. They buy it and leave. Alex comes up and thanks Sean for his help. Back in London, Cassandra tells Nikita and Michael that Nigel is her handler too and she says that she will tell him that they are CIA and Michael tells her that they are rouge agents. Nigel comes in and brings in a team. He tells her that Michael is not leaving until he knows everything. Meanwhile, Nikita watches from outside the house. Nigel asks Michael everything and hints around the real reason why Michael came.

Cassandra goes around the corner to Nikita and tells her that she will lead Nigel out of the house. She gives Nikita the code to the house. Nikita tells her that she will get him out. Nigel starts punching Michael to get information and Cassandra comes in and tells him that she has a lead on where Tubalov is. She tells him that she is going now and he says that he is going too. Nikita watches as they leave and then breaks in. Michael and Nikita manage to get away and Michael says that Nigel was more interested in the money rather then the information as to why he is there. Nikita realizes that he wants the $200 Million that Cassandra supposedly has. Meanwhile, Cassandra and Nigel get to Tubalov’s place and he says that if they let him go, they will never hear from him again. Nigel says that he doesn’t want to wait and shoots Tubalov. He aims the gun on Cassandra and says that he is cleaning up loose ends. Nikita goes inside and fights with Nigel. She manages to get the upper hand and shoots Nigel. Michael runs up to Cassandra and sees that she is shot in the shoulder.

Back at Division, Alex asks why Sean is helping her. He says that he wants a kiss from Alex. The transfer is complete and Alex kisses Sean’s hand. At the same moment, a man sits at his computer and the transfer is actually an encrypted message that says that the message is for Guardian France One and that it is from Percy. The message reads that the Secondary Protocol is activated. Michael and Nikita get ready to say goodbye to Cassandra and she says that she hopes that they British Intelligence takes her off active duty. Max comes up and Michael tells him that he will be back. Max says that he will miss Michael. Nikita tells Michel that he has a chance to start over with someone and be a family again. He says that he doesn’t know what she is talking about and Nikita says that she is not going to stop him. She walks away and the episode ends.
