At Petrelli Manor, Linderman is apologizing to Arthur, who tells him how badly he's screwed things up. Linderman wonders if a second attempt on Nathan's life is advisable, but Arthur tells him the plan for New York has been in the works for years before adding, "Sometimes I worry you're outliving your usefulness." Unlike Nathan, Linderman knows a threat when he hears it, so he offers that he knows a guy in Montreal who worked for him in Vegas, and he's good and can be flown in that night. However, we don't get to hear Arthur's reaction, as the camera swings around to reveal that Angela has just entered the room and heard enough to learn of her husband's betrayal. She rushes to the kitchen and grabs a knife with which to hold Arthur at bay, but he attacks her with his mind: "It has to be done, Angela." She's aware of what he's doing at first, probably because her own mental abilities give her some measure of resistance, but he keeps at her, and as Linderman watches, she finally says it: "Peter has to die." Oh, fine, she said the other brother, but my way would have been a lot better.
We're in Hiro's eyes as we hear Angela's hypnotized declaration again, and then Hiro sits up and cries, "Murder!" Ando is chagrined by Hiro's agitation, but NeoIsaac tells him to let him be, as Hiro is trapped between this world and the next. "If he wakes now, he could be stuck like this forever." I'd ask NeoIsaac what the hell he's talking about, but I doubt he's going to have time for an explanation before his head rolls anyway. What a pointless scene this is, though. NeoIsaac instructs Ando to mix more of the stupid paste, and says that they have to help Hiro along, because part of him wants to wake up, but the spirit walk isn't complete. He takes the steaming bowl and holds it under Hiro's nose, and Hiro promptly collapses again. I'm going to have to start carrying one of those things around. We focus on Hiro's face...
