Nikita and Mr. Jones had The Collective's "mole" narrowed down to two suspects: Operations and the late Marco O'Brien, but Mr. Jones has a another possibility: that Michael Samuelle is still alive, and that he is the "mole." While granting to Mr. Jones the theoretical possibility that Michael may be alive, Nikita denies that he would ever betray Section for real. Meanwhile, Operations sets out personally to see to it that an anti-Collective mission goes according to his own plan, but it's The Collective that is poised to blow Operations' plane out of the sky!
