At any rate, Bennet's dead in his bed with the IV running up his arm. He regenerates his eye and comes back to life and sits straight up in bed and looks around. He falls back and looks over at the IV. "Mohinder..." he says. Mohinder appears next to the bed and tells Bennet to take it easy as he secures some restraints around Bennet's wrists. "Last thing I remember..." mumbles Bennet, "did you...shoot me?" Hee. Mohinder says that he didn't have a choice. "Why am I not dead?" asks Bennet. "You would've been," says Mohinder, "were it not for an infusion of your daughter's blood." This snaps Bennet awake and he yells at Mohinder, "You took Claire's blood?!" Mohinder tells him that Claire's fine, but Bennet doesn't care; he yells at Mohinder that he betrayed him by going after his family. Mohinder yells right back that Bennet told him that The Company had to be brought down from the inside out. "Thank GOD I came to my senses before I'd done any real damage!" Bennet asks where Claire is, and Mohinder tells him she's at home, grieving the loss of her father. Bennet realizes his family thinks he's dead. Mohinder blames him for the entire situation, saying Bennet's paranoia and violence brought all of this on. He goes to remove the bag of blood from the IV and Bennet asks what he's going to do with it. Mohinder says that Bennet's recovery proves Claire's blood has regenerative properties, and that it holds the key to saving Niki from her virus. "That's what The Company does," says Mohinder. "We save lives." Bennet insists that everything The Company has told Mohinder has been lies and that they actually made the virus in the first place and have been experimenting with it for thirty years. Mohinder ignores him and leaves, slamming the door behind him. "GET BACK HERE, YOU SON OF A BITCH!" screams Bennet ineffectually from his sickbed.
It's off to New Orleans, where Micah and his cousins are entering the house after school. Micah and Damon are discussing how one of Micah's 9th Wonders comic books sells for six hundred bucks on the open market if it's in mint condition. But Micah's not interested in selling them -- he just likes the stories. Damon's thinking that selling all of Micah's books and rolling around in the collected cash is a far better yarn. Again, Micah's not interested. But he really should be, because Damon clearly prefers money over family. Monica asks why Saint Joan, on the cover of the book in Micah's hand, wears a hood if she's one of the good guys. Micah explains that every superhero has to have a secret identity -- why else would Clark Kent wear those stupid glasses that no one seems to recognize him behind? Micah goes on to say that a superhero without a normal-seeming secret identity runs the risk of having their enemies come after them at home or even hurt their families. Micah goes into his bedroom and carefully puts the comic book back in his bag. Grandma Uhura enters with a slightly sick-looking Niki. "Micah?" He runs to his mother and they embrace.
