Rescue (S01E11)
While on a mission to take out a Russian chemical facility, Michael gets injured and is left behind. Section decides the risk of a rescue is too high, but ultimately sends Nikita and Madeline undercover as cosmetic saleswomen to locate him. Meanwhile, Michael captures a nurse named Angie Georgiev, persuading her to assist him before the secret police chief, Egran Petrosian, can track him down. Nikita and Madeline pinpoint Michael’s location and reach Angie’s apartment just as Petrosian arrives, allowing them to escape with Michael and Angie while Petrosian chases them. They make it to an abandoned airstrip for extraction, but in the ensuing conflict, Angie is killed. It’s later uncovered that Petrosian has actually been a Section agent in deep cover for 17 years, and the entire rescue operation was a ploy to bring him back into the organization.
