A devil's bargain. The Collective will surrender Michael's son for Nikita's father, Mr. Jones. It's an agreement Jones will accept ... if Nikita becomes what she never wanted to be: the new Operations.

One in, one out. Michael returns under a cloud of suspicion. Operations dies in a firefight. But Michael's return may be brief: The Collective kidnaps his son as a way to lure him back.

Some problems can be simply eliminated. But sometimes things aren't so simple. Operations' attempt to kill Nikita and Center's subsequent attempt to kill Operations leave both elite agents alive and at odds.

He's the real Mr. Jones. And he's Nikita's dad. But Nikita's meeting with him isn't the father-daughter reunion she may have imagined, not when events reveal the presence of a mole inside Section.

Continuing to combine her personal quest with Section forays, Nikita decides to get answers from the top. But is Mr. Jones really the top? And is he really Mr. Jones?

It's like a high-risk scavenger hunt. The disc Nikita found has coordinates that may tie to the answers she's seeking. Meanwhile, the mind-control process forced upon her tightens its disorienting hold.

Together again: Operations and Madeline - but this time, she is a computer simulation. Section tries to uncover the Collective. Nikita seeks answers as to why she was originally recruited.

Her days as a field operative are over... but not for long. Mr. Jones reneges on his promise, reassigning Nikita to Section One and sending her to infiltrate a meeting of terrorist factions.
