Michael's team has to provide security for visiting peace negotiator Mijovich. Nikita has encountered an old school friend who represents a possible security risk, and protects her from being "dealt with" by Michael. When she is kidnapped by the so-called friend who is in fact a terrorist, he effects a dramatic rescue, and establishes an excuse for her so that she will not be punished.

Performance Rating
This episode sees Michael in a supporting role to Nikita, and while not too demanding, allows Roy to establish some further refinements to his character - the dignity and grace in the presence of VIPs, albeit boorish ones like Mijovich. We are to learn that his inscrutable expression when Nikita convinces Mijovich of her status as a bodyguard is as close as Michael will ever get to chuckling.
