Jessica lies that Linderman wants her to be a dealer, which is the lamest lie ever because the bitch stole from Linderman and now he wants her to work for him? She spreads some more whoppers around and says that she's not going to do anything that she doesn't want to, and then she tries to sexily kiss him, and he smiles at her in satisfaction that she's telling the truth, but the second his back is turned, that smile drops off his face faster than you can say, "Kill the bitch." Yeah, he's totally onto her shit. He leaves, and Jessica goes to Niki, "You left that for him, didn't you? Niki says nothing, content to smirk at her from her mirrored prison. Jessica grabs a gun out of her purse and checks the clip, slapping it shut with a slam of her hand.
The Sylarinder Show. Sylar's strapped to a chair with an IV bag next to him. He says that he can't feel his fingers and Mohinder informs him that this is due to the curare raging through his system. It induces paralysis of the brain, which means that Sylar can't use his many abilities. Sylar tries to fake his way out of this, saying he's not who Mohinder thinks he is, and Mohinder straps on a king-sized pair of nuts and says, "You're the man who murdered my father. Do you still expect me to believe you're Zane Taylor?" Mohinder whips his laptop around and shows Sylar a news item that states that Zane was killed three days ago; coincidentally the same day he and Sylar met. Mohinder pulls out a tuning fork and says, "You're a parasite. You killed my father and fed off his work." He hits the fork and it rings and Sylar immediately starts moaning in pain, you know, because he got that mechanic's superhearing. As the tone causes more and more pain for Sylar, Mohinder yells at him to say his name. Finally, Sylar screams, "SYLAR!"
Mohinder silences the fork and steps away. "There's only one thing to do with a parasite," he says, picking up a gun from the desk. "Kill it, before it kills again." Sylar says that Mohinder's just like his father -- and they're both murderers. Mohinder says he's a scientist, but Sylar just laughs at this and claims that Papa Suresh kept leading Sylar to the other Heroes, even though he knew what a killer Sylar was. Mohinder gets pissed and points the gun, yelling that Sylar knows nothing about his dad. Sylar breathes that Papa Suresh confided in him and told him things he could never tell his own son. Things about Mo's sister, Shanti. "He thought you were tooâ¦what's the wordâ¦fragile to know the truth," says Sylar. "That's why he liked me. You were always seeking his approval, while I provided stimulation. He gave up on you, but he adored me. NOW WHO'S THE REAL PARASITE HERE?" Sylar leans into the gun so hard that it leaves a mark on his forehead when Mohinder finally chickens out and backs off.
