Needless to say, Claire is royally pissed off at West for even thinking this is something cool. West tries to get back in her good graces by whining that he just wants to be part of her life. Claire looks like she's about to make him part of her life by hitting him over the head with the waffle iron and burying him in the backyard, but just then she sees a Bennet family picture behind his head and decides that distracting West from seeing it with a nice kiss on the cheek is a smarter idea. She flips down the picture and says that he can stay -- but just for waffles. NO SYRUP.
Back at The Company, Mohinder is throwing a hissy at Matt about Papa Parkman. Everyone gathers in Tobby's office to discuss the eventual arrival of Mindbender Maury Parkman. Nathan perches on the corner of a red sofa with his foot on the arm and I'm so distracted by The Pasdar's hotness back there that I'm totally ignoring the scene at hand. Matt says something about taking Tobby into protective custody, Tobby says that ain't gonna happen and they're gonna take down Mindbender Maury, Mohinder points out that this makes Tobby the bait, and Tobby responds that they all have their roles to play. PASDAR IS HOT. I mean -- it's really distracting. Almost as distracting as Ali Larter's pantsuit that looks like it was pulled off the dressing room floor at Limited Express. But Pasdar being hot is at least a PLEASANT distraction. Oooh -- wait! He's speaking.
Nathan says that Linderman and his mother used to say that thing about roles being played. "It's always these half-truths, no straight answers, constant manipulation," he says, burning my retinas with his hotness. "What the hell did you people do? Why is Maury coming here to kill you?" Instead of answering him directly, Tobby just says that now is not the time to dredge up the past; a mindbending murderer is coming to get them! Matt asks how they're going to stop his father and Tobby tells Mohinder that he and Niki are going to inject the man with the virus. Nate is all, "What virus?" Mohinder is all, "You said we'd never use it!" Tobby is all, "Dude? MINDBENDER MAURY. Circumstances have changed, you pussy!" Mohinder is all, "I am NOT a pussy! But I am still not injecting anyone with that shit and knowingly spreading that damn virus!" Tobby is all, "DID I MENTION THE MINDBENDING?" All he wants to do is somehow disable Mindbender Maury and then inject him with the virus and then make him well with Mohinder's antibodies. "Nobody dies here today!" declares Tobby.
