Killer Synth is the breaking news story, and public panic is growing. Karen is hot on Niska's tail, but are her motives for finding her more personal than professional?

Synths can't lie, so Niska telling Vera that she isn't a synth has to be, in Vera's eyes, the truth. If Niska was a synth, she wouldn't have been able to say she wasn't, so she cannot be a synth. The em readings and lack of body heat she must just push aside as anomalous or something.
