New Orleans. Monica's creating more tomato roses and freaking herself out. Micah enters and says that he thinks he knows what happened with the piano. She jokes that she's a musical genius, and that she's had a hard couple of years and wants to just take a long nap and call it a day. Micah stops her and reminds her of last night, when he said he could rig the TV to show pay-per-view. She remembers. What she doesn't remember is Micah touching the TV and just bringing up pay-per-view with his fingertips, which is what he does right now to one of those old televisions that you just know doesn't have the ability to even GET cable. Monica watches him, and he says that he lied about being able to rig the TV, he can just do this stuff. He thinks the special powers run in the family. "My dad could walk through walls," he says. "And my mom? Don't even get me started on my mom." Heh.
Micah shows her a comic book with a cat-lady-type woman drawn on the cover and the words "Who is St. Joan?" beneath her. Micah thinks her ability is more like this character -- she's a muscle-mimic. Whatever she sees, she can do. Just like Monica. Monica shows Micah the tomatoes she's completed and says that she shouldn't know how to do this, but she saw it on TV and suddenly…she could. With Micah's revelation, Monica seems to be gaining acceptance of her gift. Micah thinks they should go test it out and see what she can really do.
The Company Hospital. Molly's in a bed, out cold still. Mohinder hovers outside the window, looking in at her. Tobby walks up and tells Mohinder that they're going to do everything they can for her. In the meantime, hey, here's another assignment! That Tobby. He's so compassionate! Mohinder doesn't want to leave Molly, but Tobby says he needs to be out there helping people while The Company helps Molly. Then he hands Mohinder a taser and says that he might need that for his next visit. Mohinder's like, wait -- you want me to TASER people? What kind of organization is this? Tobby's like, what are you, new? Some of these people aren't entirely in control of their abilities, dude, and you have to LARN them and LARN them but GOOD. Just then, there's a commotion in the back, and alarms start going off. Niki storms into the hall and Mohinder goes, "Niki?" But she doesn't recognize him because she's actually Jessica right now and instead she tosses him against the wall. She moves on to Tobby and brings him up off the floor with one hand. Before she can do any serious damage, though, Mohinder tasers her and she goes down.
