But in case you, too, don't know where this is going, we get some "dramatic" shots of the guy in traffic, until Daphne superzips past and then comes to a stop in his path with her arms folded on her chest and a bored look on her face. Heh. I so prefer "whatever" Daphne to watery, regretful Daphne, I cannot even tell you. The guy swerves to the side and rather impressively ends up tumbling up one side of a cab and down the other, and Daphne's face goes to whatever squared as she walks over to the guy, who concedes defeat. So did this scene play out like it was supposed to in the sketchbook, or what?
Hiro is wasting flour and eggs to the point where pastry chefs everywhere are in tears, so it's just as well when he hears his parents rehashing the stuff they were discussing earlier. Hiro's bummed to hear his dad opine yet again that Hiro will never amount to anything, like, way to sugarcoat things for your wife who has hours left to live, and then behind him, Hiro's younger self pipes up that they're talking about him, and his dad's probably right. Hiro turns back, and then his two selves hilariously push up their glasses and cock their heads in unison.
Speaking of interaction between different incarnations of the same person, Claire warns her infant self about a cute boy who will break her heart in fifth grade. "Whatever you do, do not share your juice with him." Hee. The show's making me laugh for the first time in ages! Even while I'm faced with Christmas shopping in this economy! Just then, however, an HRG-less Bennet arrives home and suspiciously asks Claire just who she is, and, clearly unsatisfied with her answer, then takes his wife, who's just emerged from setting up the nursery, aside to upbraid her for leaving the baby alone with a stranger. We don't hear what they're saying, but Sandra eventually withdraws, and then Bennet returns and, after informing Claire he knows her cover story is a lie, asks what the hell she wants. We go to commercial before we hear her answer, but I hope she realizes the steel in her father's eyes means this is an exceptionally poor time to ask for a pony.
