Marcus catches Nick on a "job" and has to disclose his deep, dark secret as well in order to not have Nick kill him; Nick has a break-through with the girl of his dreams, Amanda; Nick attempts not to fail Ms. Walker's chem class even as she comes onto him...all while he's trying to figure out how to take out the Russian mercenary planning to steal a radioactive isotope in order to make a dirty bomb.

Nick decides to drop out of the government program that has enlisted him as its teenage killing machine. For the first time, he watches TV, does his homework, and doesn't kill Marcus for telling Amanda's biggest secret to the entire school. Back to a normal life...at least for now.
