Primatech. As they walk along the hallway, Eric Roberts tells Bennet that it's good he called him when he did. "It's a shame I'll have to kill another partner." Ah, that's very interesting, since he's referring to Claude. Because that means Bennet didn't tell Eric Roberts that Claude is still alive. And since the Haitian knows as well, that means the Haitian's personal loyalty to Bennet over the company goes back a bit. Bennet asks if the Haitian's been located, but Eric Roberts easily says he must have figured Bennet would turn him in. He then asks, "How long was he hiding Claire? In plain sight, too; you must feel like a fool!" Bennet, not taking the bait, says he guesses it was months, and Claire trusted the Haitian over her own father. Eric Roberts: "Surrogate father." Jeez, Eric Roberts, way to kick a man when he's playing you like a fiddle and pretending to be down.
Cut to... ooh, nasty, I almost forgot about this. Bennet and Eric Roberts look at Sprague, who's in the room in which they kept Sylar prisoner. He's lying unconscious and restrained, and Eric Roberts says they'll keep him sedated and study him to find out "what gives him his spark." Bennet asks what then, and Eric Roberts is like, "What do you think?" I think keeping Sprague prisoner is going to end about as well as keeping Sylar prisoner did, and that Eric Roberts is going to be having cocktails with Eden soon as a result. They leave, and we cross-fade to...
... Parkman, who's lying unconscious in their medical wing under the care of some woman. Eric Roberts and Bennet enter, and in an oblique way, Eric Roberts offers Bennet the chance to have Parkman as his new partner. Bennet doesn't answer, but asks if the woman, who hasn't spoken, is one of them. Eric Roberts acknowledges that by way of saying that she's very promising, and she's going to clean up the mess he made, so I'm taking that to mean that we've just been introduced to a very pretty Madame Mindblower. Eric Roberts then asks when they should be expecting Claire. After a long moment in which he fantasizes about poking out Eric Roberts's eyes with the ends of his horn-rimmed frames, Bennet replies, "I'll bring her in now."
