Somewhere in Mexico. Alejandro's getting led into the jail. He sees the wanted poster for him and Maya on the wall. Neither of the cops in the room seems to see it. Alejandro gets shoved into a cell. The stoner in the next cell sits up and says, "Dude. You look like ass." Well, that's not very neighborly, is it? You can't just say a simple, "Hi! How are you? Whatchya in for?" How hard would that be, really? Go back to sleep, stoner. Maybe you'll dream of 'shrooms and boobs.
Lizard High. The students shuffle into science class. Claire takes her seat near the front. West enters and parks it right next to her, setting her nostrils flaring. They seethe at each other until the teacher announces that they're going to talk about mitosis today. West immediately raises his hand and says he has a question about yesterday's topic on lizards and regeneration. He blabbles something about how he knows lizards can regenerate, but humans can't, but what if a human mated with a lizard? Could their offspring regenerate? Because he thinks he's met a lizard girl! Claire looks at him like, "Bitch? What you playin' at?" The teacher thinks this isn't really a productive conversation, but West just spews, "But seriously -- what if that lizard girl were to...accidentally cut off an arm, or a leg, or you name the appendage, in some horrifying...spa debacle." Hee. Okay, that's kind of funny. It's stupid, and he's still creepy, but he's cute and snarky. Dammit. I'm starting to like West.
The teacher wants to know where West is going with this. He just responds that he wants to know if the lizard girl's arm would reattach itself. Claire realizes that he's just baiting her, so she does the smart thing: she gets up and leaves. Because that's not too obvious or anything. He's talking about a girl regenerating her limbs, and Claire huffs off because...she's a girl who regenerates her limbs. I'm sure I could fanwank that the rest of the students would just think West is making fun of Claire's questions about lizards from the day before, but I still think it's kind of idiotic that Claire wouldn't be cognizant of the fact that running off in tears during a discussion of regeneration really isn't the best way to remain in hiding, you know?
Tokyo. Back again with Ando as he catches up on the Ballad of Hiro and Kensei. Hiro tells Ando that turning Kensei into a hero and righting history won't be easy, especially since he himself has fallen in love with the girl who's supposed to fall in love with Takezo. Yaeko and Hiro walk through nature as Hiro tries to convince her that Kensei didn't run away. They come across Kensei in the distance, and Hiro says he'll go gather up the hero and bring him over to her.
