In Reseda, Tracy rings Dr. Zimmerman's bell, and a total H!ITG! answers. It seems like he first thinks she's Niki, but when she identifies herself, he's like, oh -- the one from Beverly Hills. She looks a little freaked as she enters, and asks how he knows that's where she's from. "Do you know me?" Zimmerman: "Know you? I created you." Okay, now she looks a lot freaked.
We get a shot of a turtle (heh) around NeoIsaac's camp, where Matt now has some markings on his face and apparently is downing some hallucinogen that NeoIsaac prepared for him, as he opines, "I don't think it's working." Words that are usually followed by, "Hey, are the walls moving for you too?" NeoIsaac puts his headphones on Matt, and when Matt opens his eyes again, he's got the White Eyes of Prophetic Paintings. I wonder if NeoIsaac has a "You Can Paint The Future Too!" motivational tape in there. Mohinder then voices over about looking for answers and finding one's purpose as we see Nathan reading the Book of Genesis, Micah looking at a picture of him and his mother, Claire driving through the night with the Primatech box on the passenger seat, and Hiro and Ando, now in a cell in Unit 5. Sylar and Bennet reincarcerate Flint, and then Sylar turns to find his mother, holding his inmate's clothing. He deferentially says that he guesses she was wrong about him, but she merely tells him they'll see, and heads into the cell with him, like, I know this family has problems with boundaries but I really hope there's a curtain up in there or something. And it's not just a lack of privacy from his mother -- Bennet and The Haitian are watching. The Haitian asks if he's being replaced, but Bennet tells him it's only for a while. "Just until I find his weakness. And then I'm gonna kill him." And if that doesn't work, maybe Meredith will at least fireboard him for you. See you next week!
