When Peter continues to glow as Ted’s powers rises, Claire pulls out the gun Peter had given her. But Peter is able to regain his control, with the help of Claire and Ted.

Nathan is at home, talking on the phone to his publicist about the voting that has just begun. After he hangs up he tells Linderman, who is standing in front of his desk, that he is behind 5 points. Linderman tells him not to worry, that he will win in the end. Nathan then begins to tell Linderman that he doesn’t want his brother to explode. Linderman replies that not Nathan, nor anyone can stop that, as this plan was hatched long ago. Then he tells Nathan that his father would be proud of him. Nathan gets upset, telling Linderman that his father would not approve of any of this. Linderman then reveals that Nathan’s father was, “one of us”, that he tried to make a difference, and eventually gave up. He also says that Dallas-Mr. Petrelli- was “weak” to which a wounded Nathan responds, “My father-was my hero.” Heidi then wheels in, and she is surprised to see Linderman. When she goes to leave, Linderman stops her, claiming that he was just leaving. He then takes one of her hands in his, and tells her that he is going to give her and Nathan a “gift”, as a congratulations on winning the upcoming election. After a moment, he lets go of her hands and leaves . Heidi then confronts Nathan, telling him that she doesn’t trust Linderman. Nathan defends him, saying that he is his biggest supporter. Heidi gets angry, and they begin to argue. An overloaded Nathan hangs his head-only to see that Heidi’s foot is moving. When he points this out to her, she then moves her feet. With Nathan’s help, she then stands up, and the two embrace, claiming that it is a miracle.

Claire, Ted and Peter are walking to a dealership, thinking that any other way out of the city will have Ted noticed. Peter hears Sylar- thinking that with Ted’s wanted status, this will be a lot easier. Peter tells Claire and Ted, and the three run into a nearby building, of which Sylar is standing near eating an ice cream.

Hiro and Ando are also walking around NY-looking for a sword repair shop that Hiro had called earlier. Hiro then spots Nathan coming out of a press conference-telling his secretary that his wife will make an appearance at the next conference…still in her wheelchair, when he sees that Hiro and Ando have been held back by his bodyguards. He walks over to them, and Hiro tells Nathan about the bomb, and that they are going to stop it. Hiro also tells Nathan that in the future, he is a bad man - a villain - but that he can come and try to stop it with them, and stay a good man. Nathan then tells Hiro that no one can stop the bomb, and walks back to the car. Hiro then yells to Nathan that he is already a villain and then walks away.

Across the street, DL and Jess watch as Nathan drives away. DL states that Linderman was not with him, but Jess tells him that Nathan will know where he is. The two begin to make there way to Nathan’s office.

Back to Ando and Hiro, who walk into the sword repair shop - where the helix is hanging behind the counter. The owner comes out, and Hiro shows him the sword, explaining how it broke. When asked if he can fix it, the shop owner says that it is up to him, and nods to his right, where Hiro’s father - Kaito Nakamura- is making his entrance. Kaito Nakamura tells Hiro that they need to talk in private, and walks into a backroom. Ando tells Hiro not to go, stating that he will only try to make Hiro go back with him, allowing Sylar to kill Ando and blow up the city. Hiro says that out of respect for his father, he will talk to him, and leaves Ando in the shop.

Micah is in the apartment, when Candice walks in with a stack of comic books-including the first issue of Silver Surfer- Micah remarks that Candice is nice, and that she should use her powers for good. Candice then starts talking about how the world judges you just because you are different. After a moment, she catches herself, and tells Micah that Mr. Linderman is going to heal the world. Micah says that he didn’t know that there was anything wrong with it. Linderman than walks in, and begins talking to Micah - asking him to use his ability to save a million lives. Micah asks if he can go home if he does this. Linderman responds that he will do one better, that if Micah does this, that he will give him and his family enough money to secure their future.

Claire, Peter and Ted are once again walking through NY, telling Ted about Sylar, when they are suddenly surrounded by Audrey Hanson and other FBI agents. Peter grabs Claire and they turn invisible. Ted is tackled and taken into custody. When Ted is safely in the van, Audrey walks up to a man in the crowd, thanking him for the tip as to where Ted was. When she asks for his name, Sylar tells her that his name is Isaac Mendez.

Back to the sword repair shop. Hiro begins to tell his father that he will not return to Japan, saying that he has a mission. His father interrupts him, saying that he needs to save the world. He then goes on to tell Hiro that he never left, but instead stayed to keep an eye on him. He tells him that he never thought that it would be Hiro who carried on his legacy. Hiro that tells his father about his doubts-breaking the sword, unable to kill Sylar. Kaito responds saying that it was not the sword which restored Hiro’s powers, but the journey itself ; and says that he will teach Hiro the sword. Hiro questions how his father could teach him, being the CEO of a company. Kaito unsheathes a sword, whips it around and to Hiro’s throat, and says that he knows a little.

Candice-as an older black woman-gets out of a limo with Micah and goes to the voting polls. When they are inside the booth, Candice tells Micah to tell the machine to place all votes under Nathan’s name, and that then they have to do this at all the polls. Micah places a hand onto the machine, then says that there is no need, as they are all linked into the same system, and asks how much Nathan should win by.Candice replies, “make it a landslide”. Micah keeps his hand on the machine, and the screen repeatedly selects Nathan’s name. When he is done, Micah slumps back against the wall, and asks if he can go home.

In his office, Nathan is watching the polls, when Jess and DL walk through the walls. Nathan and Jess converse about the last time they met, then DL tells Nathan about Micah. When Jess asks for help, Nathan glances at the TV-he is now winning- and tells her that if he tells her where Linderman is, they have to take care of him. DL assures him that it won’t be a problem.

Kaito is training Hiro, when he brings up Kensi and the dragon, which was Hiro’s favorite story growing up. Hiro begins to tell the story as the two continue to practice. When he comes to the end, he tells his father that he now understands the moral: that to save the ones that you love, you have to be ready to sacrifice yourself. Kaito Nakamura responds,”show me” and the two go at it again.

Matt and HRG walk into the building where the Molly is-and Micah-and Linderman- and walk up to the security guard who is at the door. Matt tells him that he left his ID upstairs, and pretends they know each other, a story which he feeds from what he reads from the guard’s thoughts. Finally the guard lets them in, however the password to the key pad to enter the elevator has been changed. Matt then hears Jess’s voice, and tells HRG that they have to leave as she works for Linderman. Jess and DL walk down the hall, and to HRG- who tells them that they have similar goals (Matt had read DL’s mind). Jess looks at Matt, and asks,”Didn’t I throw you out of a window?” The four phase into the elevator, and go up the floors in silence. HRG and Matt get out on one floor, and wish Jess and DL luck.

Mohinder is talking to Molly in the lab, telling her that her body is curing thanks to the antibodies in his blood, blood he transfused her with. Molly tells him that she doesn’t need anymore transfusions, as her powers have returned. When Mohinder express doubt, she proves it to him. Molly sits in front of a map, closes her eyes, and after a minute, puts a pin in the map, saying that there is her hero. Mohinder points out that where she put the pin is the building that they are in, and asks if he is her hero. She tells him that it is her other hero, the one who saved her from the boogeyman, and asks if she can see him. Mohinder asks Molly to find Sylar, when Thompson walks in and tells them that they are being relocated to a safe place…now.

Thompson and Mohinder are watching the surveillance monitor, on which they see Matt and HRG walking down the hall. Thompson grabs a gun, walks down the hall and hides behind a corner. Matt and HRG are walking down the hall, when Matt hears Thompson. He pulls HRG back around a corner just as Thompson turns down the hall and begins to shoot. HRG tells Matt to wait, and disappears. Matt looks back around the corner, which is now empty, and Thompson comes from behind, points the gun at his head, and says, “What am I thinking now Parkman?” HRG comes from the next corner, points the gun at Thompson says, “Your last thoughts” and shoots him. When asked by Matt how he knew what was going to happen, HRG responds that they worked together.

Mohinder, who watched the whole exchange on the surveillance, tells Molly to go into her room, and goes into the back room.

Matt and HRG come into the room and walk into Molly’s room, determined to destroy the Walker system. They are surprised, however, to discover that it is a child, and what’s more, the child Matt saved. Matt wants to abort their mission, stating that he cannot kill her, but HRG says that it is the only way to keep their families safe. Matt is then hit over the head by Mohinder, who then points a gun at HRG and tells him to drop his gun. HRG refuses, stating that if he is shot, he will shoot Molly- who is still crying on the floor.

Ted is being transported by armored truck to jail, when Sylar walks into the middle of the road, flips the truck in mid-air, makes it stop upside downright in front of his feet, and opens up the backdoor. Ted is tied down to a chair, and is hanging upside down. Sylar cuts his head.

Back to Hiro and Kaito Nakamura, who continue practicing sword fighting until Hiro bests his father. He is ready. Hiro then goes to find Ando, but he is gone. The shop owner, who has finished repairing the sword, tells him that he bought a sword and left, saying, ” if Hiro won’t save the world, I will”.

Peter and Claire are in a car stuck in traffic. They get out to see why no one is moving, and walk up the fence. On the other side, FBI agents are examining Ted’s body, which is missing its brain. When Claire and Peter see this, they start believing that Sylar is the bomb, not Peter.

Linderman is in his office, arranging the pickup of the Petrellis family in the morning. Jess and DL phase through the walls, Jess picks up Linderman, and throws him into a wall, and tells him to give her son back. Linderman admits that they wouldn’t have even had Micah if it hadn’t been for him, but then tells them where he can found. Jess begins to go find him, when Linderman tells DL that Jess will kill him. He then tells Jess to open the bag on the table, which holds 10 million dollars. This will be hers if she kills DL. When Jess looks doubtful, Linderman doubles it. Jess admits that she would kill DL for 20 million, but Niki wouldn’t. Niki then takes over, and hugs DL. Linderman says that she should have taken the money, pulls out a gun, and fires at Niki.

DL phases in front of her and takes the bullet. Linderman turns to shoot Niki, but DL reaches inside Linderman’s head and pulls his brain out. DL then falls, and tells a distraught Niki that she was always stronger than Jess.

Nathan and his wife-still in a wheelchair- are behind stage talking about waiting a couple of days before announcing her miracle. They then go out on stage, and Nathan begins his victory speech. During his speech, we see Peter and Claire getting back into their car, Hiro and Kaito leaving to find Ando, Micah looking out of the apartment window, Ando walking the streets with a map, Audrey getting into a car and leaving Ted’s crime scene, and Molly, HRG and Mohinder-still in a stand-off.

Sylar is standing on the roof of a building, practicing his new power. He then stares at the city down below, and says, “BOOM”
