Mexico. Again. Some more. The Twins and their cargo are heading for the border. FINALLY. There's an unfinished portion of the fence, and they rather stupidly just...drive right through it. In broad daylight. Because they're retarded as well as annoying. Of course, within seconds, they're surrounded by a bunch of border patrol dudes with guns. Sylar says that they're not real cops, they're just citizens with guns, and that Maya should drive around. Maya prays to God, because she's an idiot.
Back in New York, Mohinder's about to stick Monica with the anti-power vaccine. She's not fond of needles, though, so she resists at first. But Mohinder's so trustworthy and his eyes are so bashful and pretty that Monica finally agrees to let him shove the needle in her vein. Before he can, though, he finally grows a spine and declares that he's not going to do it. He walks out and goes right to the lab where Tobby's looking through a microscope. Mohinder flings the needle across the counter and says that he won't do it. Tobby says that if he won't, someone else will, and that there's plenty more vaccine, buddy. That's when Mohinder's balls turn to brass and he picks up a chair and heaves it at the cabinet with the backlog of vaccine stored within. Every last test tube is ruined. Or, at least, they're supposed to be -- stupid pause button. Pointing out glaring errors we'd otherwise be ignorant of! Like...poor green screen quality. Mohinder says that he'll no longer be a part of their research program, and that he's taking Molly and they're leaving.
Cut to Mexico, where the patrol dudes are getting antsy to get at the passengers in the car. They start to kick and stomp on the poor vehicle, prompting Sylar to goad Maya into bringing on her black goop. Alejandro thinks this is a dumb idea. But Sylar pushes her to do it and, finally, she allows it to come forward. Everyone, including Sylar, starts to leak black stuff from his eyes. Through his goop, Sylar orders Maya to drive, dammit, drive! She does.
Superhero Superhigh. QBBC is drawing all over a trainee cheerleader's forehead with a marker; it's clear, as she drinks from a paper-wrapped bottle, that she's bloody well hammered. Claire walks up and asks for a word in private with QBBC. They walk off, and Claire asks for another chance at tryouts. QBBC drunkenly blabs something about how everyone has their place in this world and Claire should get used to it. Then West drops from the sky, grabs Claire right in front of QBBC, and hauls her back up into the air. QBBC just watches with her mouth hanging open. West and Claire pretend to struggle; Claire falls to the ground, and West swoops after her. QBBC runs the hell away as West appears to close in on her.
