After commercials, we catch up with Isaac, who's sitting in his window listening to "Eyes" by Rogue Wave again, just like in the pilot. Way to revisit the music bank, music director. Isaac looks down at his sketchbook and sees the picture he drew of Simone and Peter beneath the umbrella in the rain. Yet another flash of bright light and we're with Simone and Peter in bed as he pulls the sheet over her naked shoulder. Woo! Peter got some! We then switch to Hiro and Ando, facing the gambling dens of Vegas. Hiro turns to Ando to maybe convince him not to do this, but Ando just dives right in. Another flash of light and we're at Casa de Claire as her brother comes down the stairs. Her mother calls out that she's making waffles. The brother and mother head to the kitchen as Claire enters the house dressed only in the lab coat. How the hell did she get home dressed like that? Clearly, I need to drink more.
Another flash of light and we're catching up with Nathan outside his campaign office as he heads toward the car that's taking him to Vegas. One of his lackeys is trying to convince him to hold off before getting "into bed" with Linderman. "I can handle Linderman," says Nathan. "He may have owned my father, but he doesn't own me." Anyone else think that Papa Petrelli was a politician in bed with the mob? The lackey says this whole thing makes him nervous, and Nathan says it's his job to be nervous, but it's Nathan's job to get elected. For that, he needs money, and Linderman's two million would come in very handy. Nathan goes to get into the car and, just then, Suresh runs up and starts screaming at him.
"Mr. Petrelli! Excuse me! I must speak with you!" The bodyguards stop Suresh as Nathan tells his lackey to keep an eye on Suresh. "Thanks for your vote," he says as he flashes the "V" for victory sign and enters the car. "Your life may be in danger!" shouts Mohinder. Oh, that's never a good thing to yell at a politician. They're kind of prepared for that sort of shit and you might wind up dead. I'm just sayin'. Nate steps back from the car and looks at him and Mohinder says that someone may be targeting him. "Can you be a little bit more specific?" says Nathan. "Twelve percent of the electorate strongly opposes me." Hee. One of my favorite lines so far.
