Seconds pass, but no little girl appears. A truck approaches, and Hiro looks up to see a little girl with a red bow walking directly in front of it. He hollers at Ando to stop the truck and Ando runs toward it, only to have the truck swerve completely out of the wayâ¦and directly toward the little girl. So, essentially, Hiro actually PLACED the girl in danger instead of saving her. Ando calls out to the girl, she turns and sees the truck, and Hiro shuts his eyes. And time stops. You heard me. Stops. Little girl jumping rope? Stopped in mid-jump. Some man running? Leg up in the air. Little girl about to get hit by truck? Just sitting there, as if someone hit the pause button. It's a really cool effect, by the way, and I'm not entirely sure how they did it. Which, to tell you the truth, I am totally digging right now.
Hiro runs over and shoves the immobile girl out of the way as if she's a marble statue and the second that he does, time restarts and the truck crashes into a bunch of tables, injuring no one. "Yatta!" hollers Hiro, which is really what I think his superhero name should be. Like, SuperYatta! Or something like that. He runs over to Ando, who, it would seem, finally believes him. They dance around each other like a couple of caffeine-fueled monkeys. It's awesome. "So, you believe me now?" asks Hiro. "You'll come with me?" Ando just looks at him with his mouth gaping open. Oh, just say yes, Ando! You know you can't resist the wily charms of SuperYatta!
Vegas. Home of Shallow Ditch-Diggers with Multiple Personalities. Niki's covering up the face of Greaso with a last shaking of sand. She seriously buried them about an inch beneath the surface. Also? Micah has slept through ALL of this, even though it appears to be high noon and his mother has been grunting and digging all damn night. She takes the shovel to the car and looks at the ring again. Micah finally wakes up and asks where they are. She says they're on their way to Grandma's house, and they drive off. Wonder if ikiN's going to handle cleaning out the trunk the way she cleaned out the garage? Because at this point, it's had two dead bodies in it for approximately twenty-four hours. I would think it's bloody, dirty, and disgusting right about now. But, since Niki's been digging an inch-deep ditch for a whole day, who am I to question continuity? That being said, Angel of Continuity? Tuck in your goddamn wings, buckle up your combat boots, haul your gargantuan ass off that beanbag chair, and start PAYING ATTENTION.
