EPISODE

22. Crossbow

Percy calls the President the United States and threatens to set off a nuclear explosion unless his demands are met. Birkhoff finds two scientists who could help stop Percy's new nuclear satellite, so Nikita and Michael head after one and Sean and Alex look for the other. Unfortunately, Alex and Sean get caught at the very location that Percy blows up as an example of his power. Meanwhile, Nikita realizes the best way to stop Percy is to go into the belly of the beast - Division itself.

Complete story — includes the ending

Robbie returns and steals three 20-year-old motherboards relevant to Project Crossbow, a missile defense satellite, from an Air Force base. Nikita and her entourage find the only remaining member of Crossbow, Donald Henderson. However, he dies after Nikita and Michael stop a Division strike team. Birkhoff later realizes that Crossbow is a satellite that can fire a particle beam. Sean and Alex find Robbie at a nuclear reactor and capture him. However, he escapes and activates a device before Sean kills him. They believe that the device sends the satellite to fire the weapon at the facility and escape before it explodes. Percy uses the weapon as leverage to blackmail President Charles Grayson into backing out of a peace treaty between Afghanistan and the Taliban. Nikita decides to return to Division. While Sean and Alex subdue the sentries (they must be kept alive, otherwise Division is alerted of a breach), Nikita and Michael enter Division through the hatch Nikita previously escaped through. One of the sentries kills the other, alerting Division of Nikita's presence, just as she destroys the servers controlling Crossbow.
