Present-day Texas hospital. Peter and Nathan lurk behind shelves of medical supplies, staring at Parkman. Luckily for them, the guards are flirting with nurses, so they head right into the room and shut the door. Peter heals Parkman, who wakes up with a fish-eye lens on Peter telling him he's okay, then the camera and Matt's head spins to Sylon (now just the Sylon again), who says, "Good things do come to those who wait." Thank god, right? Because this show has been so bad for so long, yet we suffer through it. Parkman screams at Sylon. But then he tells Nathan and Peter to run before Sylar comes back. They tell him Sylar's dead, but Parkman explains that it sounds crazy but he's in Matt's head and will jump back into his body if he can. Nathan asks him what he means by his body, and Matt says, "Nathan, you're dead." Sylon walks along behind Peter and Nathan. Parkman explains Nathan's death, then Sylon walks up and says he'd like to skip five stages of grief and he sticks his noncorporeal hand into Matt's head, which causes him to lay back and seize. Then he sits up and Parkman's a Sylon again. Sylon-in-Parkman talks sweetly to Nathan and asks him to take his hand. Commercials.
Sylon-in-Parkman repeats the line about taking his hand again, and Parkman-Sylon (who cannot be heard) says not to. Nathan tells Peter it all makes sense; these powers are Sylar's. He says he doesn't exist. Peter says it's not true, and as Sylon-in-Parkman continues asking him to take his hand from the bed, Peter turns and yells that he'll kill him first. Nathan tosses Peter aside with a wave of his hand, and says Matt's right; it's time to end it. Parkman-Sylon tries to stop it, but he's fake. Nathan walks toward Sylon-in-Parkman, then the cops come in to stop them. He doesn't take his hand, but barely touches it when he spins around. Then Parkman's in the bed again, screaming, "Where is he?! Nathan, is he in you?!" But that is backwards logic, right? Because Nathan is in Sylar, so Sylar can't be in Nathan. Sylar would be back in himself, and Nathan's still there. And, yes, this all sounds very dirty. Anyway, Nathan picks up Peter and flies out the window.
