Recap / Nikita S 1 E 4 Rough Trade

Go To

Nikita revisits her very first Division mission, where she helped kill a Homeland Security Agent named Victor Han who had been trying to stop the Triads. She warns his wife and daughter, and starts going after the Triads themselves.

Only, when she wants to go against the boss of said Triads, it turns out that it is the very same Victor Han she thought she'd helped kill. It turns out he made a deal with Percy to fake his death.

Nikita and Michael both travel to Hong Kong, Nikita to catch Han and Michael to catch Nikita. In a tense confrontation, Nikita knocks out Han and leaves him on the steps of a police station, blowing the cover up, while Michael saves Nikita's life, repaying the favor from 2.0.

Meanwhile, Alex relives a traumatic event from her childhood and sparks Amanda's suspicion.

Tropes

  • Faking the Dead: Turns out Victor Han was this all along.
  • Friendly Enemy: Michael repays the favor from 2.0 and saves Nikita's life. He even let's her go when he could have stopped her, having a sniper rifle and a clear line of sight.
  • Forgiveness: Mrs. Han forgives Nikita for her part of the tragedy that befell her family years ago at the end of the episode, after it turns out that her husband had been a bad guy all along.
  • Secret Other Family: Victor Han says that his family lives in Hong Kong, and that Mrs. Han and their daughter were just a cover.
