Alex gradutaion is coming up: She has to kill a crime boss named Zoman. Nikita comes to help her, as Alex has never killed anyone before. However, the mission turns chaotic, and Thom has to kill Zoman, while the shell program Nikta had been using to communicate with Alex is discovered.
To protect Alex from Division, who would likely 'cancel' meaning kill her for failing the mission, Nikita pretends to be captured by Alex. While Amanda interrogates Nikita, Alex organises a diversion by planting explosives. Thom catches her doing so, and they fight. During the fight, Alex accidently shoots Thom, killing him, while Nikita escapes.
Nikita wants Alex to come with her, but Alex chooses to stay inside Division to continue serving as mole. She frames Thom as the mole and is promoted to agent.
Tropes
- Accidental Murder: Alex didn't mean to kill Thom.
- Curb-Stomp Battle: Nikita vs a whole training room full of Division recruits. They never stood a chance.
- Deceased Fall-Guy Gambit: Alex frames Thom for being the mole.
- I Surrender, Suckers: Nikita never intended to stay caught for longer than absolutely necessary to protect Alex.
- Mauve Shirt: Thom marks the first recurring character to bite it.
