Back at the school, the police are arriving. Peter looks down and sees his leg all twisted around and quickly jams it back into proper alignment. Heh. We hear one of the cops saying that the janitor identified Peter as the "guy in the overcoat." Considering that Sylar also was wearing an overcoat, this isn't the most accurate identification known to mankind here. Also, the fact that Peter's covered in blood probably isn't going to help matters. Long story short, the cops arrest Peter for the murder of Jackie the Cheertator. Peter protests, but they're not listening.
India and the Neverending Moyawnder Story. Moyawnder's mother walks up to him and asks him if he's going back to New York. He says that his father's theory was correct, and asks why Papa Suresh never told him. His mother tells him that his father wanted him to live his own life. She wants to know what he'll do, now that he knows about them. Moyawnder says he'll find them and tell them who they are, if they don't know already. Warn them of the dangers they'll face. She asks who will protect him. They hold hands and Moyawnder doesn't answer.
DL and Micah are STILL at the damn diner in Utah, even though, like, seven hours have passed. DL says that their next stop is Vegas, and Micah says they don't need to go back there because he's already called Niki and told her where they are. She's on her way to meet them. DL rightly thinks this isn't such a good idea. He tells his son to get in the car and then runs to his own door. Moyawnder's voice over tells us that we are all, at our cores, the sum of our fears. We see ikiN, up in the hills, taking aim at DL. Moyawnder says that in order to embrace our destiny, we must conquer our fears. ikiN takes a shot, but we don't see where it lands. Instead, we head back to the Burnt Toast Diner and see the waitress pour another cup of coffee for Ando. The camera passes behind herâ¦
â¦and it turns into Charlie pouring a cup of coffee for Hiro. "My name is Hiro Nakamura!" he says to Charlie. "I'm here to save your life!" The placard informs us that it's six months earlier as someone across the diner calls out to Charlie to come blow out her candles. Everyone laughs, and Charlie runs off to make a wish on her candles. She beckons Hiro over, and he smiles at her.
