Michael finds out that the terrorist who killed his family is meeting with a money launderer in Uzbekistan. He asks Percy for permission to take a team. Percy's all, "Ooh, too sensitive! I can't have Division involved! But why don't you take a couple of 'personal days' off?" Wink, wink. When Michael arrives in Uzbekistan, he finds Nikita waiting for him. Naturally, he assumes she's there to stop him, but she's actually there to help him. She knows what this means to him, and, thanks to a series of flashbacks to 2001, so do we. Kasim, this informant he trusted in Yemen, gave him a case full of explosives instead of terrorist intel. Michael survived, but his wife and young daughter were killed. That's when Percy steps in and offers Michael a job with Division, and a chance at revenge someday.
Back to the present: Nikita eventually convinces Michael she really wants to help him, and, since he needs the backup, he agrees to a temporary truce and secret team-up. For a brief while, it's like a fun, sexy, buddy flick. Unfortunately, Percy gets wind of the arrangement, and suddenly he's no longer squeamish about sending a team to Uzbekistan. Division agents interfere with Nikita and Michael's plans. Kasim's men kidnap Michael and torture him. Nikita rescues him, but Kasim gets away. When Michael pursues him in what will surely be a suicide mission, Nikita is forced to betray him in order to save him. She calls the Uzbek police, alerts them to Michael's plans, and he's taken in before he can exact his revenge. Division gets him back to the U.S., but Michael is furious at Nikita. Or at least that's what he tells Percy. He may actually be mad at Percy for sending in agents. It's all very interesting and exciting.
In the subplot, Alex is caught snooping around the medical files while helping Nikita. The doctor wants sex in exchange for his silence, so Alex knocks him right the hell out. She enlists Jaden's help (through blackmail) in testifying against the pervy doc so that Amanda and Percy discount his accusations of snoopery. Stay tuned for all the details in the full weecap.
