- A serial killer picks the wrong victim when he attacks Nikita. But after she sends him on his way, a cop on the case begins searching for her as a vital witness to the man's crimes.
- "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing, especially if the knowledge is about Section. A police investigation of a serial rapist inadvertantly puts him too much in the way and too much in the know."
Nikita and Michael are on a mission when this episode opens. They are staking out an embassy, waiting for a certain high ranking official from that country to exit. They call the mission quits for the day and split up to return to Section. On her way back to Section, Nikita is accosted by a man who tries to rape her. She beats him up. As she is leaving, she looks up and sees a woman standing in a window watching them.
When Nikita returns to Section, she tells Michael and Operations there was no exposure. She then goes back to the scene of the crime to make sure she has not been found out. The would-be rapist is getting medical attention. One of the detectives finds the screwdriver he had used as a weapon. The police figure out that he is the serial rapist/killer they have been looking for, and they get a description of Nikita from the witness, hoping she will testify against this man.
Walter warns Nikita to make this situation go away or else the innocent detective will be taken care of by Section.
The detective comes to Nikita's home and confronts her, asking for her help in putting this man away. She refuses to admit she was the woman the rapist attacked. The detective shows her pictures of the other women, all of whom are dead. She makes the detective leave and after he is gone, she notices he stole her waterglass.
Nikita's friend Karla is dating a man named Kevin. Karla is heads over heels for this guy, but he comes to Nikita's apartment one day and says he's not serious about her. He hits on Nikita and she smashes his face on the countertop before kicking him out of her apartment.
The detective follows Nikita to her next mission at a restaurant/art gallery. The government official is to meet a man whom Section wishes to take down. The detective walks up to Nikita and tells her she looks good for someone who killed herself in prison three years ago. Michael tells Nikita to "deal with him" a.k.a. kill him. Nikita keeps trying to make the detective go away and Michael must come help her. The terrorist notices the fight and shoots the government official before getting away.
Back at Section, Nikita is in trouble. Birchoff won't look at her. Michael won't answer her questions regarding the detective. Even Walter is short with her. So she goes to Madeline. Madeline explains that if Nikita had come to them before, they could have given the detective what he wanted without ruining Nikita's cover. Nikita asks for one last chance to make things right.
Nikita meets the detective to discuss their options. She offers to make the rapist "disappear" in exchange for the detective forgetting she exists. He declines the offer.
The next mission is to recover the terrorist who got away. Nikita is in the van with Birchoff while Michael's team goes in. Birchoff mentions the cop but won't share what he knows with Nikita. Michael's team captures the terrorist and the mission is a success.
The next scene opens with the rapist coming out of a store; he's been set free because there is no witness to testify against him. The police have been following him, but they've lost track of him. The detective's phone rings and he's told to trace the call for the rapist's location. He goes to the location looking for the rapist and finds him dead. Nikita is waiting for him. She takes the detective's gun and shoots the rapist, framing him for murder. She offers him a deal; come work for Section or be convicted of murder.
In the next scene, the detective is in a room just like Nikita's frm the first episode. Michael walks in and tell the detective everything he told Nikita: "This is Section One. This is where you'll train." He attacks Michael just like Nikita did and is subdued just like Nikita was.
The episode ends with Karla coming to Nikita, upset because her boyfriend broke up with her. Nikita goes back to Section and is told the detective accepted their offer. Madeline tells Nikita, "You're one of us." Nikita replies that she will never be one of them, but it obvious by the expression on her face that she's starting to waiver.
