Old Japan. Kensei's crouched over a fading fire as Hiro runs up, saying that he's been searching for Kensei for hours. He says that they must go destroy White Beard's guns. Kensei's all, "Oh yeah? How 'bout you do that yourself, princess kisser!" Kensei tells Hiro that he saw the whole thing, and that Hiro betrayed him. Hiro says that he didn't, but then he totally cops to the kissing thing and says that he and Yaeko are in love with each other. "So you've been lying to me all along," says Kensei. "First you show me how I can be harmed by no weapon; then you cut me deeper than any blade possibly could." Hiro declares that he will not pursue his love of Yaeko, because she is Kensei's, and he must stop White Beard; the fate of the world rests in his hands. Kensei nods and says he'll do it, but when he walks behind Hiro, he smacks him down, and Hiro falls. White Beard comes out from the bushes with Yaeko and her father in custody, and tells Kensei that whatever he wants shall be his. Kensei just walks away.
New Orleans. Monica enters her home as Tobby tells her that she's covered at work and at home for her absence. He then hands her a folder filled with information regarding The Company, and her abilities. He pulls out an iPod and tells her it's fully loaded with thousands of videos that she can use to practice her powers. "Wow," she says skeptically. "Support, advice, and now gifts. Like my own personal Oprah." Heh. I like Monica. She has a good blend of wonder and skepticism that comes across nicely. "You have an amazing gift," says Tobby. "So, look around. Seems like this town could use a little amazing." She delivers a heartfelt thanks, and Tobby leaves.
Back at The Company, Mohinder's just hanging around some random lab, wondering where his boyfriend Matt is. Niki enters, looking fabulous, so we know it's probably really Jessica. Mohinder's surprised to see her, and asks how she's doing. She says that she's feeling better, and that she's back to her old self, thanks to The Company. She says that she's Mohinder's new partner; Tobby told her that they were having some trust issues, and that she's there to make sure there are no more misunderstandings. So...she's Mohinder's bodyguard? His jailer? His personal assistant? This is a very vague assignment, here. And she's wearing a kick-ass suit, so I'd say it's also a very OMINOUS assignment for Mohinder.
