New Orleans: Micah tells Monica about powers…DL could walk through walls, he is a technopath (and demonstrates his power), his mother -Niki-…well, he doesn’t even want to start telling Monica about that.

At The Company: Bob tells Mohinder he did the right thing in bringing Molly there. Bob tells him he has to go on the field, find another person who needs their help. Mohinder doesn’t want to leave Molly, Bob reassures him Molly is their top priority, and gives Mohinder a taser gun, since many powered people don’t have control over their powers.

Peter looks around the apartment he sees a blank canvas, his eyes turn white and starts painting.
At the pub: Ricky is with the blond (Elle) who’s looking for Peter Petrelli. Ricky says he never seen him before.

Elle gets near the exit door, locks it, turns around and shoots an energy blast.
At the Company: Bob tells Niki she gave them a scare. Bob leaves, Mohinder offers Niki to help her get out of there, Niki says she wants to be there, she needs help.
New York: Nathan is on the rooftop at the Deveaux’s building, sees Peter lying on the ground, he turns him on his back and instead of Peter Nathan sees himself, face terribly burned.

In the meantime Matt is trapped in a prison cell. In his vision he sees his ex wife, then the prison guard, he starts fighting the guard and realizes it’s all a vision, tells the guard to stop, and both him and Nathan regain control of their minds, they’re lying on the floor at Maury’s apartment. Nathan asks how he stopped it, Matt doesn’t know, he doesn’t know where is father went, he knew he was a con and shouldn’t have trusted him. Nathan finds a picture of Bob with the red symbol drawn on top. Nathan says he knows where Maury is headed.
Tokyo: Ando is still reading Hiro’s scrolls. On the scroll Hiro wrote that the same night they’ll attack the White Beard: 3 of them against a whole army. The scroll is too damaged to continue reading it, Tatsuya promises to keep working on them to restore, he needs more time.
New Orleans: Monica watching a martial arts movie on TV, she can mimic all the moves and jumps she sees. She asks Micah what all that means, he says they’re special, maybe they’re supposed to do things with their powers. Monica says he has to go to bed, and their powers is going to be their secret. Micah leaves the room. Somebody knocks at the door. It’s Mohinder, looking for Monica , he says he knows she has questions, he has some answers.
Cork, Ireland: Elle in the car, talking on the phone to her ‘daddy’. She says she had to use some persuasion on some guy, tells OK, she killed him, she doesn’t agree she has to go back home, she almost has Peter. At the end she agrees to leave.
Caitlin’s aparment: Caitlin tells Peter his eyes went dead, he started painting. He painted a street in Montreal.

LOL its hilarious how Peter’s Passport says ‘F’ and not ‘M’. but i dont think we were supposed to notice it and to the people who did notice it, it was supposed to be comedic
Maya
yes. the heroes wiki actually mentioned it as a trivia.
I’m excited about learning more about the original 12. I can’t believe that Parkman fell for his dad’s “I’m a victim” act, but he obviously has daddy issues.
