Oh, crap: Mohinder VO. "You do not choose your destiny," he says, as we pan through a no-tell motel parking lot and up to a pay phone. "It chooses you." Micah approaches the phone. Mohinder drones on about how people who knew you before fate "took you by the hand" just Don't Get It, Maaaaaan. Meanwhile, Micah picks up the receiver, looks at the "out of order" Post-It on the phone, and places his other hand flat on the phone beside the keypad. He closes his eyes, and then opens them again. Oh my, whatever could these spooky strings mean? Will Micah snap the cradle and get a dial tone, having powered a busted phone with his mind? Why yes, he will! Awesome -- although I think the kid needs to use his powers to speed up his parents' storyline, but anyway, he calls Niki. Jessica, futzing around with a gun, puts it down to pick up the phone, and asks if Micah's okay. He's fine, he says: "Are you?" Jessica's all, great, fine, so are you with your dad? Yes, he says; he just snuck out for a minute. Then Micah catches a snap and asks if it's really his mom. Jessica flatly says, by way of response, "Tell me where you are, baby." Micah sighs impatiently and tells Jessica, "Just -- put my mom on the phone." Heh. I knew he knew what was up. "Your mom's not here right now," Jessica says, "and she's not coming back until I take care of a few things," so Micah should just tell her where he is and she'll come bring him home, because Niki needs him. Micah gives in and tells her that he's at the Littlefield Motel off Interstate 14, but no sooner has he passed this along than D.L.'s hand enters the shot and plucks the receiver out of his hand. D.L. glances at the phone and asks if Micah is talking to his mom. "No," Micah says, looking straight ahead. "No, I'm just goofing around." D.L. glances at the "out of order" Post-It and tells Micah to come on, they have a lot of driving to do. Jessica: "...Micah?" Mohinder blathers about what stands in your way as Jessica hangs up, makes a thoughtful face, and puts the clip into the gun.
Next time on Heroes, something...heroic? Happens? Damn DVR cut off the previews.
