Back at the now-empty bar, Hiro and Ando bemoan their latest setback. Hiro says they're in a slump, but Ando asks if he's kidding: "We are the worst heroes ever." I think you and Peter are still in a horse race, but the point is taken. Hiro says they can't afford to lose heart, but Ando sighs, "At least it can't get any worse." I wonder if these two grow tired of these call-and-response bits. They do seem to get the bulk of them. Anyway, this is Daphne and Knox's cue to appear. Knox (possibly at Linderman's order?) told Daphne that Hiro and Ando were looking to join up with them, but she doesn't believe "those goody-two-shoes" would be into that.

Daphne playfully says they have to prove themselves, but things take an unexpected turn when Knox, after ascertaining that Hiro's the one with the powers, takes a sword off the wall and instructs Hiro to kill Ando with it, as he has no abilities and is no good to them. "You kill him, you are badass." You're also dead to me, but that's probably not much of a concern. Daphne doesn't look too thrilled about this but decides to let it play out, and Ando's eyes go wide as Hiro stands in front of him and apologizes. "I must make some sacrifices to save the world." With that, he unceremoniously stabs Ando right in the heart, eliciting a horrified gasp from Daphne and an appreciative smile from Knox, and then Ando, wide-eyed with disbelief, says Hiro's name before falling to the ground. It's too bad he expired before he could add, "And you were such a pissypantsed little bitch about me killing you in a vision?
