...and then we're back with Angela and Nathan, who are at the hospital. The doctor comes out and tells them Arthur is dead from a massive heart attack. Angela keeps her eyes averted as she says she'd like a cremation as soon as possible, and then when the doctor leaves, she pulls Nathan into an uncomfortable embrace...
...but inside, the doctor tells Arthur, who's hooked up to the breathing tubes, that it's done. Arthur gives him some silent mental orders, and the doc says he understands, and that he'll get another body to be cremated. Knowing Arthur's prejudices, he'll probably have him pick a male nurse. Unfortunately, however, the poison caused paralysis that's likely to be permanent. "I'm sorry." He leaves, and we get a spinning overhead shot of Arthur in his new prison...
...before going to the funeral, at which Nathan and Peter are preparing to make out yet again as they reminisce about their family dog, "Izzy," and recall fond memories of Arthur. Angela, however, icily tells them to cut it out, and says Arthur doesn't deserve to be idolized. She repeats the bit we've already seen about him being "deeply flawed in ways you will never know," and after a closeup on the urn that contains someone else's ashes...
...we go to Africa, where Hiro finally wakes up. He babbles to Ando they have to warn the Petrellis, and that Meredith may be able to help them, but suddenly they hear a strangled cry, and rush over to find NeoIsaac's decapitated corpse, with the head lying several feet away. He picked a bad time to run out of paint, I guess. Arthur then appears next to Hiro and placidly tells him, "I understand you've been dreaming about me." He blithely puts his hands on Hiro's head, and as Hiro screams in agony and Ando calls his name, we're told that the story will be continued.
