Nathan's meeting Mama Petrelli in a shady bar. He asks why she wanted to see him, and she says Millie called to tell her that he was asking questions about Kelly. She says that his trip down memory lane is hurting Millie. Nathan says Kelly didn't disappear, she died, and he was there. What he wants to know is why he can't remember it. I would settle for, "Because he's Sylar," being the explanation here, and I actually think he remembers much more about being Nathan than he logically should, even in the Heroes-verse. But after some denial, and this lovely exchange -- Nathan: Because every time there's a secret buried someplace, I find you with a shovel behind your back. Angela: You should write Mother's Day cards. -- Mama Petrelli reluctantly admits that she had the Haitian wipe his memory, she disposed of Kelly's body, and she bought the plane ticket. He says it was an accident, but she says it didn't look like one and she couldn't let that happen to him. She tells him to go ahead and vilify her for this, but not to destroy his life over it now. He wonders if she's going to let her friend go on telling herself her daughter ran away because she was a bad mother. Mama Petrelli says Millie's made her peace with it and leaves.
