Back in D.C. in the present, Claire's in short shorts and a tight white T-shirt helping Tracy, in underwear and a tank top, into the bathtub. It's obviously just an excuse to have two hot blondes in almost no clothes, but at least they (hopefully) won't make out. A teapot whistles and Claire makes sure Tracy's okay alone before she goes to make tea. Tracy lays her head back and the water in the bathtub starts to freeze, all the way up to the faucet. She jumps out of the water and runs into the kitchen in a bathrobe. She tells Claire this is happening over and over again and she can't stop it. Claire tells Tracy to calm down and grabs her shoulders. Her hands start to freeze, and Claire says, "Uh-oh." The freezing travels up her arms and eventually all the way over her face. Tracy asks if she can hear her. Um, Tracy? You should probably know how this works by now. She's frozen, so no, she cannot.
Peter's arriving at a storage unit, which he's unlocking when the camera shows us Nathan, who says he thought they were done with this cloak-and-dagger stuff. He can't figure out why the Haitian didn't want him in the loop, but Peter says it doesn't matter now. They open up the door and see a gigantic, coffin-sized box. Peter stands lookout, while Nathan opens it. He says it's a body and then unwraps the plastic and we get a close-up of his freaking-out face. He tells Peter, "It's me," and he and Peter look longingly at each other. Because nothing makes either of them hotter for each other than a third person -- as long as it's someone shapeshifted into one of them. Then we see Nathan's dead body. His neck wound has been stitched up, and he's cryogenically frozen or something, because he's still totally intact. Commercials, including the latest Slow Burn, in which Samuel uses a Sprint phone for navigation, explaining to everyone how this phone brought them Amanda. He creepily leans in and kisses her on the head as Lydia the Tattooed Lady looks at him ominously.
Back in the storage unit, Peter assures Nathan that's not him; it's a shapeshifter or something. Nathan thinks there has to be a reason the shapeshifter wanted him to see this. Sylar-as-Nathan touches the body and gets flashes of Parkman and Sylar. He tells Peter he saw Sylar, but Peter tells him the guy's been dead for weeks. He says he also saw Parkman, who was angry. They know they won't get straight answers out of Mama Petrelli or the Haitian so they're off to find Parkman.
