In Tokyo, Hiro asks Ando if there are wedding bells for him and Kimiko. He says maybe, and Hiro giggles. Ando wonders what's so amusing since they've always liked each other. Hiro tells him they haven't, though, that they used to hate each other until he went back in time and fixed it. He says he's the reason they fell in love. Because Hiro has to take credit for everything. He does acknowledge the slushy spilling was his fault in the first place, but then he fixed it. So his new goal is to go back in time and fix everything he's messed up. Including this show, maybe? How cool would that be? Ando reminds him he's dying, but Hiro's doing it anyway. He runs out of the room, excited.
Matt wants to question a suspect about something. Rick Worthy isn't sure he should, but Matt assures him he's doing okay. Matt goes into the room to find out the drug supplier of the guy he's questioning, but then Sylar appears and starts taunting Matt again. He tells Matt to use his powers if all he wants is a name, and Matt says -- OUT LOUD -- "I don't do that anymore." The suspect is like, "Don't do what?" And Matt snits, "I'm not talking to you." Well, that would be the suspect's mistake, thinking you're talking to him when there is no one else in the room. Sylar continues to try to get Matt to use his powers, and ends up saying that Janice is having sex with the water boy. Which doesn't mean she is, of course. This is all in Matt's head, after all. Sylar's like, "Come on, she's done it before, and she needs a real man who's not afraid to use powers." Matt throws a chair at Sylar and calls him a sonofabitch, who is right behind the suspect, so it goes just over his head and hits the wall behind him. He cowers and gives Matt a name as Rick Worthy runs in all, "This is your definition of 'okay'?"
Peter's partner crawls into the ambulance with him and makes small talk. He looks at Peter, who looks happier than ever to me, and asks, "Are you okay?" I'm not sure where that came from, but maybe Milo Ventimiglia was supposed to be acting like something was wrong, so it really isn't the other guy's fault? Or the script's? I don't know, though, because Milo's pretty good at looking distressed. Peter's fine, in fact he's eating clam chowder from a place in Boston. The partner's like, "How'd you get it down here?" Peter says he knows a guy, and Partner chuckles. There's a call on the radio, and Partner wants to ignore it, since there's five minutes until they're on duty, but Peter dashes out while the Partner's not looking. Peter shows up and it's Bennet, all slashed up. Peter tells him to hang on, and Bennet whispers, "They took the compass."
