Cut to Candessica and Niki, ass-kicking currently in progress. Niki's basically just taking the beating and not fighting back at all. Fortunately, Candessica hits Niki into a mirror, shattering its pieces onto the floor. While Candessica takes a bit of a breather, the real Jessica appears on one of the glass pieces and tells Niki that that's not her and she has to stop her. Niki ONCE AGAIN whines that she's not strong enough and Candessica hears this. "Who the hell are you talking to?" Suddenly, Niki pulls back her arm and lands a punch square on Candessica's face, throwing her back about twenty feet into the air. Niki looks at her hands, all surprised, even though, back in the prison, she totally had a moment of superstrength that she couldn't attribute to Jessica, so I don't know why she doesn't just get over this shit already and start kicking multiple asses on a daily basis.
Anyway, with Candice down for the count, the illusion she created just melts away and Niki sees her for who she really is: some chick passed out on the floor. Micah shouts for his mother from elsewhere in the apartment and Niki runs to find him locked in a closet. She easily wrenches it open and Micah asks if it's really her. She catches a glimpse of herself in the mirror and sees that it's just her. They embrace and it looks like Niki's finally integrated Jessica into her personality. Now maybe she'll stop whinging about not being strong and shit.
Out in one of the hallways, Mohinder and Molly are trying to get out of the building without running into Sylar. They come across D.L. and, even though Molly warns that he could be a bad guy, Mohinder, ever the healer, says he needs to help the fallen man. He says they need to get him out of there, so Molly goes to hit the elevator button. It's not working. Mohinder tells her to keep an eye out for guards or bogeymen. Cut to Yamagato Industries in Japan. Hiro and Ando appear out of nowhere and no one seems to notice. Ando excitedly tells Hiro that he was faster than Sylar. Hiro says he'll go back now to finish his task. Ando wants to come too. Hiro puts Ando's sword down on his desk because he has his daddy's sword strapped to his back, even though he totally didn't have it in the scene with Sylar, so I'm not entirely sure where the hell he got it. Anyway, Hiro says that he has to finish this journey alone. Ando says he's not afraid. Hiro knows he isn't, but he still has to go alone. Ando says that, one day, people will tell the story of Hiro Nakamura. Hiro smiles and hands Ando his father's sword so that Ando will know he'll be back. Ando thinks that this means Hiro won't be able to kill Sylar, but Hiro says that it's not the sword, it's the man. "This man is ready," he says. "Hiro," says Ando, "You look bad-ass." Hee.
