Haiti. The Haitian Sensation is all better, so Mohinder's cure has worked again. He's distressed, though, because this means that the virus is spreading. And it's getting worse: if he hadn't shown up, HS would have been dead by morning. He tells HS that The Company wants to bring him in for observation. HS's alarm bells start ringing, and he gets up and stands across from Mohinder. "Of course," he says calmly. "There's always a company." Mohinder looks up at him and the camera swivels around...
...until we're looking at Tobby, not HS. "Where's the Haitian?" demands Tobby. "The Haitian?" asks Mohinder, confused. "Isn't he in Haiti?" Tobby informs Mohinder that they're IN Haiti, and that he's been out of contact for hours. Mohinder says the last thing he remembers was being in Tobby's office. "He wouldn't have been able to take your memory unless the vaccine worked," says Tobby. "So...apparently it did." Mohinder looks stunned. He's totally faking it, y'all. He and the Haitian Sensation are in cahoots! Tobby lets Mohinder off with a warning, saying that he'll chalk this up to a rookie mistake, but that he'd better not let it happen again.
Guatemala. The Blackness Twins and their guide are tromping through some woods on their way to the border. They stop alongside a road, and the guide points out a pipe across the way that goes under the river which I guess separates Guatemala from Mexico. She immediately runs across the road and into the pipe. Maya goes next. Before Alejandro can go, however, a truck approaches. The guide begs Maya to get in the pipe and leave Alejandro behind. Maya doesn't want to, but she eventually climbs inside. Cops get out of the truck as Alejandro stays out of sight.
Once on the other side, Maya tries to tell the guide that she won't leave without her brother. The guide is adamant that they get the hell out of there before they're caught. Maya starts breathing heavily and freaking out, and when the guide reaches out to touch her, Maya spins around and we see her eyes filling up with black stuff. I thought it was blood in the premiere episode, but it's definitely black, and it's leaking down her face. The guide springs back, and suddenly starts clutching at her neck as if she's being choked. She drops to the ground, and Maya calls out for her brother. She kneels next to the guide and starts praying. The guide now has black stuff leaking from her eyes as well.
Alejandro shows up and sees the black stuff everywhere. Maya tells him it's too late. But he tells her to take his hand and he'll make it okay. They hold hands, and he sings softly, and slowly, the blackness disappears from her eyes and gets pulled into his. Only in his eyes, it disappears. It also disappears from the guide's eyes, and she gets to her feet, declaring them both devils. Alejandro seems exhausted by his deed. He begs the guide to stay, as they have no idea where they're going. The guide's not interested in hanging out with people who have serious waterproof mascara issues, though, and she just beats tracks outta there.
