When he resurfaces, Madeline shoots him. She had a relationship with Operations, in which he used her. She claims that on the outside it would be considered sexual harassment.

Operations once had a relationship with Madeline, but was only a false relationship to get to George. He was about to take over George's Position in S4, but Nikita ordered him to stay in Section for another 7 years.

Position: Level 4 Comm Op
Until recently, Birkoff's recruit was unknown, even to him. He told different people different people different stories. In S4 he learns that his mother Lisa, was a Section Op who became pregnant, having twins. At that point, Section decided to keep one twin inside Section and let the other one free as part of an experiment to compare their different lives. Walter was the one who decided which twin stayed and which twin left...by flip of a coin. Birkoff is dependable, well liked, cynical and sheltered. Aside from the mission van, Birkoff rarely goes on the outside. He has only acted as a field op once, infiltrating a terrorist group ( Birkoff believed it was Operations way of canceling him), and covered Michael's Position once as a courier on a mission. Birkoff's duties include intel verification, system security, mission analysis, tactical liaison along with others. In S4, Birkoff is given 3 months downtime (it was assumed he would go to see his brother) and builds an Artificial Intelligent (AI) to take over for him. The AI then acts as Birkoff's ID (his unrestricted conscience), doing everything that it felt was is Birkoff's best interest, including activating the self destruct. The AI is connected nuerally to Birkoff, so Birkoff is forced to kill himself in order to stop the self destruct and save everyone's life.
