One of Sections' substations is seemingly destroyed by Red Cell, but very soon they discover that Red Cell has taken similar losses, all from the same source. The two enemies become unlikely partners in order to discover who is behind the attacks, trading key operatives to facilitate the sharing of information. But Operations plans a double cross, even though it is Madeline who is in Red Cell's hands. Will Madeline die so that Section can live? Or will Red Cell double cross them first?moreless

It was an adventurous episode, different from usual episodes. I adore the idea that they changed the key operatives and we learn that Madeline is not so important after all.

What looked little weird in this episode was that with so high security someone did managed to break into their and Red Cell system and noone understand it. And how can someone do it without knowing what he does?

Lately it seems that Red Cell is not doing well - they got Cardinal, now they got the substation. It does not looked for them. Exciting, all that thing how both sides tried to fool each other and who come out from that as a winner - section of course.moreless

Trivia
ADD TRIVIA
- Walter tells Nikita, "Adrian once said, 'Poison one flower, and the whole garden dies.'" Interestingly enough, Operations said something very much like this in a previous episode, but attributed the quote to his mother. Coincedence, or was he perhaps referring to Adrian as "Mother" metaphorically, under his nickname of "The Mother of Section One". Edit
- While the damage sustained by Section occurred at the hands of a "random", the foe that is ultimately attacked by Section is Red Cell. Edit
- Kate Quinn, Birkoff's replacement in comm, is introduced in this episode. Edit

- Operations: (interrogating the hacker, Harlan) I'm willing to wipe the slate clean. Give you a fresh, new start. And all I ask in return is your cooperation. Harlan: Sure, fine. That sounds like a plan. Operations: You've made the right choice, Mr Harlan. Harlan: What do you want me to do? Operations: I want you to pretend that this is still a game and help us wipe out the other side. Edit
- Nikita: (as Walter stares at Satin) And what did you expect? Horns and cloven hooves? Walter: That's exactly what I see. All wrapped up in a pretty little package. Edit
- Walter: Birkoff would've been proud. Quinn: Yes, well, I hear he's dead. Stiffs do nothing for my ego. Edit
