Claire goes to leave, but Bennet orders her to not walk out the door. "What're you gonna do?" she sneers at him. "Tie me up?" Okay, that just doesn't sound right. It sounds even worse when Bennet grabs some duct tape and says, "If I have to." This is turning kinky. Mrs. Bennet puts an end to the potential sexploitation drama by telling her husband to put down the damn duct tape already and stop threatening to tie her daughter to a chair; she then orders Claire to go to school and say goodbye to her friends and come back and start packing. Claire just looks at her father: "I hate you." She leaves, and Bennet realizes that they're well on their way to making his Death Painting become a reality.
Japan. The chapter title appears on two headstones in a cemetery. Hiro and Ando are attending his father's funeral. Hiro gets up to speak, but instead of saying something, he decides to walk off to a distant hill and stare at the sky. Ando follows, asking what's up, and Hiro tells him that they don't know who killed his father, and that he can't honor him in the present until he goes back and rights the past.
So Hiro blinks his eyes to go back in time and save his father because, apparently, he learned nothing from fucking with time during the Kensei situation. He winds up on the Superroof a week in the past, and catches the tail end of the scene between Angela and Kaito. He crouches off to the side as they discuss the ElderDeaths and their sons and how Kaito believes they deserve all the suffering they can get for what they've done.
The Biggest Apartment in Brooklyn. Matt's looking at a full picture of the ElderHeroes, who have all been identified via Post-It Notes stuck to the photo -- except for one woman in the top row. Her stickie just has question marks all over it. Matt seems to be frustrated, and rubs his brow ferociously. Molly enters, wishing him a good morning, and telling him that she slept nightmare-free for the first time in months. I don't know what it is about this kid, but she creeps me out. I think it's her gums -- they look like they're taking over her mouth. I mean, I know she can't help that, but it still skeeves me. So, anyway, Matt pours Molly some cereal as she goes over and looks at the photo. She asks what it is, and he tells her that it's a puzzle, and that he has to find the people in it. She offers to find them for him, but he refuses, saying that he asked her to do that once before and he never will again. Matt and Molly sit down to breakfast, and he tells her that he just wants her to be a normal little girl. She says that she's not normal, but he doesn't care -- he wants her to just go to school and eat too much candy and watch too much TV; you know, normal. They hug, and she asks why they can't be their extraordinary selves. Without realizing it, Matt thinks at Molly that she should just do it for him. Molly's eyes open up and she suddenly says, "Okay, I'll do it for you. Back to normal." Matt's like, "Whoa. Wait a second. Did I just make that happen?" He experiments by thinking at Molly that she should come back to the table and finish her cereal, and she turns and walks right back to the table and eats her cereal like a cult member or something. Matt just watches her guiltily.
