...and they appear in a cornfield. Matt quickly spies Daphne's house, and confirms through his power that she's inside, so the three of them go running toward it, but before they get there, Ando stops them, and they all look up to see the eclipse getting closer to its total status. By the way, no one's pointed out that a fricking total eclipse would have been predicted by not only magic comic books and people with second sight, but, you know, ALMANACS. GOD. Also, looking straight at an eclipse is a great way to go blind, and it would serve everyone right on this show, I tell you what.
In frustration, Arthur pushes his stupid drawings off his desk, and if he's so impatient why hasn't he gone after Claire himself instead of sending inconsistently-written lackeys to do the job for him? We see the Mohinder drawing again...
...and in the lab, it's come to pass, as Mohinder's cocooned himself up against the wall. Hell of a power you got for yourself, dude.
At Primatech, Angela again looks at the picture of her family...
...and then, Arthur's drawing of Peter and Nathan changes into the real-life version, as the two of them suddenly fall out of the sky. Of course, that wasn't necessarily the eclipse, given that they're going after a guy who dampens powers, like, GOOD IDEA TO FLY RIGHT TO HIM.
A drawing of Sylar kissing Elle fades to Sylar stowing the rental guy's corpse in the trunk of one of his cars before getting into a convertible with the waiting Elle. I suppose he'll be crying about how he's a monster in about three seconds, given how many random about-faces these characters are making.
Claire takes one swing with the board, which doesn't really merit dramatic music, a slow camera pan, or really, a scene, but that's never stopped this show before. We then see the shot of her bleeding all over her dad's suit again. Bennet, I sense high dry cleaning bills in your future. Ooh, is Arthur going to come kill me now?
Mohinder's eyes suddenly snap open, and now that he has no special strength of course It makes sense that he could rip the webbing off like tissue paper, and seriously, how awful has this show gotten? He slides to the floor, naked and covered in goo like a baby, and looks in the mirror to see that the scales are gone from his body.
In Haiti (interesting eclipse that looks the same all over the U.S. and Haiti) Nathan and Peter recover from their fall, and Nathan tells Peter that his power is gone. Peter asks if there wasn't an eclipse the first day he flew, and Nathan says there was, and I think that was on a different show called "Ass," because it certainly didn't happen in Season One of Heroes. ["Especially since they JUST showed us again a mere two episodes ago that Nathan's powers appeared when he he escaped the car accident with Heidi, which was not the same day as the eclipse." -- Angel] Anyway, Peter thinks there might be a connection, which Nathan doesn't agree with for no reason other than that his powers didn't actually manifest from the eclipse, and he continues to be a dick when Peter tries to point them in the direction of The Haitian's village, as he studied the map, going another way instead and saying he saw it with his own eyes before they fell. Peter tries to get him at least to discuss the choice, but Nathan persists in going his own way, and Peter has no choice but to follow, given that not touching his brother for any length of time will cause him to experience withdrawal symptoms that would give a heroin recoveree the cold chills to see.
