Complete story — includes the ending

Following her promotion Alex is moved into an apartment with a cover job and identity, and is granted more freedom. Over the course of the episode she finds herself bonding to neighbor Nathan Colville. After meeting with Alex, Nikita realizes Division placed a kill chip inside her head. Nikita appoints Ryan for help by capturing Birkhoff in order to hack into his laptop. However, the encryption is nearly impossible to hack into. The two trick Birkhoff into hacking into a Blu-ray player, allowing them to know his password so Nikita can clone Alex's tracking signal. She narrowly succeeds as Michael enters to return Birkhoff. As a result Ryan is demoted, though Nikita promises that she will make up for it. To make it seem as if Nikita did something to Birkhoff's laptop, Alex posts a propaganda video recorded by Nikita to everyone at Division.
