What Season 5 of La Femme Nikita

The fifth season opens with Nikita back at Section One, where she must stop a summit of representatives from several terrorist groups. She does so alongside Marco O'Brien, the police officer who joined the organization because of a mistake she made and who she has never forgotten. Much of the staff eyes her warily because of her role in the Centre's evaluation. At the same time, Nikita searches for her origins: her father may be an agent named Flavius, and she may have a brother whose name begins with M. The plot grows more complicated with The Collective, led by Graff and Haled, and with suspicion of a mole inside the section. Michael also returns to the center of the conflict.

Jan 14, 2001 · 45 min
Nikita finds clues about why she was recruited into Section. Is it possible her father was an operative, codenamed Flavius, and that she has a sibling with the initial "M" who is somewhere in the covert world she lives in? Quinn redesigns Birkoff's Artificial Intelligence program to build a holographic replica of Madeline, complete with Madeline's memories and psychological profile. Although Operations is greatly pleased to have Madeline at his side once more, it soon becomes clear that despite it's complex programming, it is just not capable of being Madeline because it doesn't have her instincts.

And this just happens to coincide with Nikita's physical deterioration because of her experience with the "Gelman Process." Has Michael or Nikita's real father given her the information she needs to beat these after effects? Or is Nikita inevitably heading to the same place Adrian ended up, namely the grave? Meanwhile, O'Brien betrays Nikita, by revealing her deteriorating health to Operations, but unsure that O'Brien will be able to resist Nikita's "charms" any more than Michael did. Operations 'shadows' O'Brien with his very own 'pit bull' operative, Golliak. And Section One continues to try and crack "The Collective."
