Ando shoves Hiro into the filthy can, Hiro protesting that he doesn't have to pee. Hiro, just try. You can probably go a little, and then you won't have to try to find a rest area later. Ando tells Hiro about the gun. From the other side of the door, we can hear one of the dudes asking, "Hey, who invited her?" Ando is telling Hiro to get them out of there when they hear scary sounds outside, like some online stripper's bad-ass alter ego is tearing the shit out of Hiro and Ando's adversaries. They stare at their side of the bathroom door a moment, and then Hiro squeezes his eyes shut, trying to stop time so that he can save their poker buddies from almost certain death. Time does not stop, however, and presently, someone's head gets smashed into the door hard enough to crack it and let blood ooze through to the other side. In the ensuing quiet, Ando shushes Hiro, and we can hear the uninvited woman tip-tapping off on her high heels. Transfixed by the oozing blood, Hiro sadly says, "I couldn't save them. I just hid in here. A hero doesn't hide." "He does if he wants to live," says the ever-practical Ando, directing Hiro toward the bathroom window. Survive or perish. Remember? Mohinder narrated it, so it must be important.
After the ads, Niki and D.L. are waking up. They exchange some unimportant banter, and then he tells her she should get some sleep: "You didn't get much last night." Mistaking his meaning, she points out that she got as much as he did, to which he replies, "I heard you getting up, trying to be all quiet." Uh oh. Niki knows what this means, and she sits up, asking D.L., "I did? When?" She looks at the reflection of the bed in the mirrored closet doors, where she, of course, sees herself on D.L.'s left side, and ikiN snuggled up on his right. D.L. sits up, too, asking what's wrong, so that we can see how the mirror looks to him, and that ikiN isn't in it. Before she can (try to) explain, Micah shows up at the bedroom door and races into his father's embrace. Aw. That kid is too cute to deserve two such crappy parents.
In Brooklyn, Eden is playing with Li'l Mohinder -- the iguana, pervs -- as Regular Mohinder packs and tells her what we already know happened during Mohinder's time with Peter; Mohinder is apparently dismissing Peter as a loon. Eden exposits that Mohinder intends to return to India with his father's ashes (though she calls him "Papa Suresh" again, like, you're in your twenties; even Punky Brewster wasn't that twee). Mohinder cluelessly thanks Eden for everything she did for him (spied on him) and his father (probably nothing, other than invent a backstory), and Eden flirtatiously tells him she's sure he'll be back: "You're not done here. That's why I'm not even going to say goodbye." He does, though, and goes to peck her on the cheek, but she turns and makes out with him. Mohinder reluctantly makes for the door, looking back as Eden tells him she'll see him later. Things I knew about Mohinder before this scene: he is credulous. Things I learned about Mohinder from this scene: unless Nora Zehetner was kissing him while standing on a box, he is short.
