...so it's much appreciated when we cut to Matt and Mohinder, and God knows this is the first time I've ever said that. Mohinder lets us know that he's going back to India on a ship, but first he's going to get some stuff out of his old place in New York if he judges that it's safe to do so. He adds that D.C. has become too dangerous and tells Matt he should come with him, but Matt says he's not going anywhere as he loads a gun. Mohinder tries to reason with Matt and tell him this isn't the way, but Matt calmly replies that Daphne died because she was different, and killing people for that reason is part of Danko's protocol, and he won't stand for it. Mohinder asks if he's just going to take his revenge by killing Danko, but Matt corrects him: "I want him hurt. I want him to feel what he's done." Fine, but if you're that passionate about the idea, maybe use a tone of voice that doesn't sound like the vocal equivalent of Sominex? Matt actually then lets some emotion into his voice as he tells Mohinder he's been a really good friend, which is debatable but touching, and they embrace before Matt bids him goodbye...
...and then we cut to an irate Sandra, who lights into Bennet for telling her nothing while Claire has gone missing. Bennet tries to assure her that Claire is safe, and the less she knows the better, but Sandra is over that noise and doesn't trust Bennet anymore, and she wants to see Claire. Bennet then tries to tell her he smells a rat with the Sylar situation, but she's less than interested, and then Danko appears and says she must be Mrs. Bennet, as he's seen her picture. Sandra: "I bet you have. From the surveillance cameras watching my house?" This is kind of what I was talking about earlier, only I was worried she'd bite off an arm instead of her words. Danko disappears just as quickly as he arrived, and then Bennet tries to get Sandra to go back to Costa Verde, but she's having none of that and is staying in town until Bennet finds Claire. She stalks off...
...and then Danko enters the bathroom and locks the door, and, with a mischievous grin, walks over to...himself, commenting, "It's fun being you." God, how stupid -- Sylar's behaving like a bored child taking this outrageous risk for no reason, not to mention he's watching Danko take a piss and commenting on a mole he apparently has in a naughty place, and what is the point of this character, my God? I will give Zeljko Ivanek credit for doing a damn good Sylar, though. It's going to be about the only bright spot of this new power, seeing the main cast do impressions of him. Danko agrees with me about the stupidity of Sylar's actions, and then Sylar turns into his true form as Danko yells that what they're doing isn't about him finding some clever way to kill Bennet. Sylar: "I'm not gonna kill him. I'm gonna destroy him." Well, should you come around to the idea of a suicide mission, no offense to Jack Coleman, because it pains me to say this, but I'll take that trade-off. Title card.
