Back with Peter, he's sitting in an interrogation room as Clea enters and says that Nathan's pretty well connected. Matt's right behind her. Peter looks like hell. He's all sweaty and gray. Clea asks if he's okay, and he says that his head's about to split open. Matt tosses him his bottle of aspirin and tells him to help himself. Peter states that he didn't kill Jackie, and Clea says that they already know that because the blood on his shirt turned out to be his own. Too bad he doesn't have any injuries that might have CAUSED that much blood. Peter just asks if he's free to go. Clea's like, what's a hospice nurse from New York doing at a damn homecoming dance in Odessa, Texas? You picking up young girls or something? Matt, standing behind Peter, appears to be trying to read his mind. Clea gives Matt the signal and he dives headfirst into Peter's brain.
Suddenly, Peter gets this look on his face like, "What the fuck just happened to my head?" Matt pointedly shoots a look at Peter's head and Peter looks like he's just been brained with a shovel. Then Matt feels the pain that Peter's feeling and Peter feels the pain that Matt's feeling and then they're just paining back and forth at each other. "What're you doin' to me?" asks Peter. Matt gets something from him. "Save the cheerleader," he says, sitting down. "Too late for that, Matt," say Clea's inner thoughts. "The cheerleader's dead." Peter hears this, of course, because now he has Matt's power, and he's like, "WAIT WHADDYA MEAN THE CHEERLEADER'S DEAD? CLAIRE'S DEAD? OH FUCK." Matt looks over at him and thinks, "Did he just read her mind? Is he one of them?" Peter looks back over at him, hearing every word. There's some back and forth about Jackie and Claire and Sylar, until, finally, Peter just stands up and says that if they want to catch Sylar, they need to find Claire and protect her. Matt listens in on Peter's head and declares that he's telling the truth. Clea gets up and says that they'd better find Claire, then. Peter's all, butâ¦aren't ya gonna let me out? "You get out when I get answers," says Clea, shutting the door behind her. Peter does not look well at all.
Brooklyn. Mohinder's returning to his father's gargantuan apartment. There's a note taped to the door. It's from Eden. It says that she knew he'd come back and not to look for Mohinder the Lizard because she set him free in Central Park weeks ago. Seriously -- did anyone think about the lizard in all this? Mohinder gallivants off to India to deal with his daddy issues and just leaves poor MohinderLizard at home with no crickets to eat? That's just bad parenting.
