Matt says he does love his wife, and Clea asks why he hasn't called to yell at her so he can go home already. "That's what you want, isn't it?" "I don't wanna be a chump," says Matt. "So still loving your wife after she has sex with someone else makes you a chump?" asks Clea. Well, no. But it does make him a masochist. Even if it was a one-night stand with the cop, she still cheated on him. Sorry to get up on my moral high-ground (it's lonely up here!), but cheating is cheating is cheating. Flirting is one thing, but the second you start even THINKING about crossing the line, you've gone too far. If you don't work on your relationship before that line is crossed, all bets are off. And you can still love your cheating partner, but that don't mean you gots to stay with 'em. I'm just sayin'.
Clea lectures him that if he wants to make his marriage work, then he has to find a way to make it work. He just kind of nods at her and makes faces and she spots Bennet coming out of the building. The Haitian walks up to meet him and Matt immediately recognizes him from the bar where he collapsed. He tries to listen in on them both, but nothing's coming. Clea thinks they should leave. Matt thinks he should try to pass a watermelon through his urethra. Seriously, his face looks like he's in all sorts of pain. Still, he's getting nothing off them. He grunts. Nothing. He grunts some more. Dark blood drips out of his right nostril. Clea looks horrified. "I was only able to get one word," says Matt. "Sylar."
