Niki then proceeds to punch Mohinder when he tries to help. Later, Niki punches through a door and then because she can't fight off Maury's mind control, injects herself with the virus. Later on Mohinder tries to give Niki an infusion of his blood to get rid of the virus, but it doesn't work.

Jessica used the ability in a variety of crimes ranging from robberies to brutal murders. Eventually, Niki finally learned how to use her enhanced strength at will.
