In the bathroom, Hiro finds past Hiro. When he tells him he's from the future, past Hiro is like, "Ah! Like Peter Petrelli saw on the subway train. Where's your sword?" Oh, but I have so many more questions than that, Hiro. First of all, why didn't that Hiro come to pass? Is that only the Hiro that would happen if they didn't save the world in Season 1? But, back to that scene, why did Hiro tell Peter he looks different without his scar as if he'd never seen him without it when we know they know each other? Was that also only if the Season 1 world-saving hadn't come to pass? I'm going to pretend that's the case so I can stop caring about why. Past Hiro is here to save the cheerleader, but present Hiro tells him she will be fine, and he actually needs to save the waitress, who's dead. He won't let past Hiro see her, but he sends him back six months to find Charlie. He tells him she's MJ to their Spidey. Present Hiro tries to be all serious about it (as if it's possible to be this serious when telling someone that a woman is MJ to your Spidey) and tells him what to do, then calls him a moron after he goes back. He looks at the picture of Charlie's birthday and he's with her now. Hiro "Yatta!"s.
Bennet's at Primatech. Pixie (Nora Zehetner taking time from her Grey's schedule to reappear) leads him into Isaac's room and introduces them to each other. HRG and Isaac talk about all of Isaac's paintings of Claire and about Sylar and powers. It's all very repetitive if you saw the first season. Basically, though, HRG wants to know what Sylar looks like, so he needs Isaac to paint him. He whines about how Claire came along right when he and Sandra were having problems conceiving a child. He tearily tells Isaac this is his daughter they're talking about.
In a break room of some sort at Primatech, HRG throws something on the ground to show us how angry he is. So, apparently, Isaac refused the drugs or whatever it took for him to paint Sylar. Lauren comes in and tells HRG she was eavesdropping and heard everything. She walks right up close to him and tells him she had no idea. OF WHAT? That Claire is the cheerleader? Lauren tells him they'll handle this together, and then she kisses him. He kisses her back, but then pushes her away, so she calls herself an ass and apologizes. She tells him homecoming isn't for thirty-seven hours. She says they're made of time and will nail this guy. She tells him to pretend this never happened and jokes that she's Haitianing him. He says no, don't do that: He wants to remember.
