He goes on to say that his father used to talk about how an entire species will go extinct while others no more unique or complex will change and adapt in extraordinary ways. Like become indestructible or learn how to fly without wings? Mohinder sums up Chandra's views on evolution as "romantic". Peter points out that Mohinder must share his father's views, seeing as they're both geneticists. Mohinder just says that this is another variation on evolution; they're all just variations on the last model. "Yeah," chortles Peter, "we're all just cheap knockoffs of our fathers." Peter needs a barrette or a haircut because his bangs and his incessant need to tuck them behind his ear are really starting to get on my last fucking nerve. I'd prefer a barrette because we rarely ever see superheroes with pink sparkly clips holding back their hair. And Peter would look pretty in pink.
Isaac's Studio. Isaac preps a canvas and starts painting. Then he pulls out his heroin gear and readies the needle. He takes one last look at the blank canvas and then we see him start to get high, even though we never actually see the needle enter his skin. This IS prime time, after all. He falls off the stool, totally stoned out of his gourd. We travel into his eyeball and suddenly he's up on a rooftop, standing at the corner of a building. We hear a scream and see Claire running away from something as she runs up the stairs of the Odessa Pantheon Theatre of International Greek Dramas. Claire stumbles on the stairs as the shadow of a man looms over her like a monster. Isaac starts to paint and we're back in his studio as he's slapping colors on the canvas. In the painting that he's working on, the shadow of a man threatening Claire looks more like the blue monster from the 9th Wonder comic book that Micah was reading in the first episode. We hear Peter knocking on the door and calling Isaac's name. Isaac's too busy getting smacked out and painting the future, though, so he doesn't respond. When the camera pans around to Isaac's face, his eyes are all glossed over with white, like he's suddenly blind. Blind, but can seeeee theeee fuuuuuuutuuuuure!
Odessa. Claire's wearing that goddamned cheerleader uniform again. What, is there a game every other day at this stupid school? At my high school, the cheerleaders wore their uniforms, like, once a damn month! Give Claire something else to wear or make it her bloody superhero costume already. Claire shuts her locker door and the spooky girl from before is standing there, staring at her. Her name is Laurie, and she says that she saw Claire go off with Jock the Rapist at the bonfire, and she asks her what happened. Claire says nothing, but the girl just says that when she went off with Jock the Rapist a whole lot of "nothing" happened to her too. They both look over at Jock the Rapist, who just happens to be casually mauling yet another blonde in the distance. Are there any DARK HAIRED girls at this school?
