A greedy airline CEO calls Percy for help when one of his planes crashes after being overloaded with smuggled cocaine. Division sends in a crew to get the cocaine out of the crash site before anyone else can find it, but a hapless hiker catches the whole thing on video. The hiker calls freelance journalist Jill Morelli, who specializes in conspiracy theories. She's in the middle of a conspiracy herself when Division murders an editor she was meeting with and then frames her for it. Nikita rescues her, gains her trust and helps her get in touch with the hiker with the video.
Percy finally does something about all those suspicions concerning just how Nikita is able to get information on their ops. He suspects computer nerd Birkhoff who, when examined, is found to have had a transmitter implanted in one of his teeth back when Nikita kidnapped him. Sans tooth, he's cleared and allowed to go back to work. But Division still can't track Nikita or Jill, so they turn to the recruits to go through all of Jill's notes. They're told it's a training exercise to hunt down a terrorist, so Alex, Thom and Jaden do an extra-good job of figuring out where their target is. Alex freaks when she realizes she's just led them straight to Nikita, but manages to stealthily calls cops to the rescue while she's in the Ops Room.
Michael finds Nikita, and they face off. She proves how badass she is when she dislocates her own shoulder to escape his grasp. In the end, Jill gets away with the video, and even though she can't prove anything about the mysterious black ops, she does prove the greedy CEO was running drugs and earns Nikita as a friend. Unfortunately, with Birkhoff's sudden dental work, Nikita needs to find another way to keep Division's suspicious eyes off Alex.
