"What, you mean normal?" says Gray, pissed off. "You mean there's still no signs?" Suresh tells him there are none. Gray's looking forward to the CT scan tomorrow, and Suresh says that they need to be prepared for the possibility that he's wrong about Gray's potential powers. "I am so close," spits Gray, jumping to his feet. "I can feel it. You came to me! I am on your list!" Whichâ¦yeah. Why IS he on Suresh's list if he doesn't already have some sort of ability? Is it just genetics that Suresh is watching? Because if these Heroes aren't showing their abilities yet, how the hell is Suresh finding them? Drink! Gray implores Suresh to not give up on him, and Suresh just says he's got other Heroes with no evident powers to stalk, so if he could show himself outâ¦Gray goes a little crazy here, picking up folders of potential Heroes and sputtering at Suresh about their supposed superpowers. There's a sticky on one of the folders with the name Brian Davis on it. "What, you think he'sâ¦telekinetic?" Gray snaps at Suresh. "Or are you just going to toss him aside too?" He flings the folders to the floor and it's clear that he's crossed the state line into the Land of the Loonies and that this probably wasn't a terribly long journey for him to make.
Suresh tells him to leave and Gray grabs little geeky corduroy coat and angrily exits. Out on the street, he stops to catch his breath. He's very Clark Kent-ian in this moment. Pressed shirt, sweater vest, bulletproof hair, nerd glasses. He looks down in his hand and sees that he still has the sticky with Brian's name and address on it. Behind him, Bennet is getting out of a cab. Gray walks off and Bennet stops beneath Suresh's building and looks up at it ominously.
Vegas. Niki's dad Hal is visiting, and his first method of business is to attempt to endear himself to Micah by throwing an expensive laptop computer his way. Micah's impressed, as is Niki. She tells him that it's a very generous gift and Hal just says it was amortized over ten birthdays. "Well, then," says DL with a gritty smile, "you skimped." Heh. Micah thanks him and Hal tells him to go break the internet in half or something. Niki clunkily brings up that she and DL want to move Micah into a private school, but they don't have the money. Hal comments that if she wants to ask him for something, it's already hers. She thanks him and he says that he feels lucky that she even let him in the door after all the things he's done. Again, Niki says he didn't do anything, and Hal goes, "Why do you keep doing that?" Niki's all, what? He's all, dude. You're only as sick as your secrets. Her smile falters and she comments that she knows all the AA mantras, thanks. Hal uncomfortably says he's going to go check on the boy.
