Outside at the desk, Nathan's Beard is signing the necessary documents to release his mother. Matt comes out to shake the Beard's hand, but he can't find it because OH MY GOD THE BEARD IS AS DEEP AND DARK AS A BOWL OF BLACK FOREST PUDDING. Christ almighty -- is that the Pasdar's real fur? Because you could harvest that shit and make a year's worth of pot scrubbers out of it. Dang. So Matt and Nathan meet, and Nathan's like, "I know you," and Matt reminds him that they met back in Texas when Peter was in jail. He tells Nathan to follow him to go see Ma Petrelli. "She's not gonna want to see me," says Nathan. "I just came to get her out." "Then why'd she ask us to call you?" "She doesn't have anyone else."
Just then, the lights flicker on and off, finally going out and reverting to generators. Back in the interrogation room, Angela screams. Matt and Nathan run toward the sound. We see a glimpse of Angela in the room, fighting off something that seems to be slashing at her. Matt tries the door, but it's locked, even though you can't lock it from the inside. They all run into the viewing room as Angela continues to scream at her attacker. Matt grabs a chair and heaves it at the glass until it breaks, revealing that Angela is alone in the room, even though her face and body have clearly been cut. Matt asks who did this to her, but she says nothing. He grabs a photo out of her hand and sees the shot of her with the "S" symbol scrawled across it.
Gosh and Begorrah Pub. It's Peter's turn to tend to Caitlin's injuries. He puts some ice on her hand as she asks him to explain about the stuff that he did. He says he didn't do anything. "Make up a story," she says. "Tell me you lost your memory about tonight, too. But don't pretend I'm stupid." The door bangs open, and it's Sir Shamrock, royally pissed that Peter's fucked with McSorley's sons, even though Peter had no idea they were McSorley's sons, nor did he care. "Next time," he snits, "I'll leave him alone with your sister." Sir Shamrock grabs Peter's shoulder and whips him around, pointing a gun at his chest. He says that Peter's actions turned a fixable monetary problem into a full-on blood feud. Caitlin throws a "Ricky" at her brother as a warning, and he puts away his gun. But he's not done talking. Ricky tells Peter that he's going to help them throw one last heist -- something big that'll put a stack of money on McSorley's desk. Peter says he's not a thief. Ricky replies that he may not be a thief, but that he certainly handled the McSorley boys like a pro, which makes him something else, all right. Peter threatens to do the same thing to Ricky and walk the fuck outta there, but Ricky pulls out an ornate box and says, "You might want this...Peter." "My name's Peter?" "Sounds about right, doesn't it? Just something I read. This here's everything you had on ya when we found ya. Credit cards, maybe a train ticket. Could even be a love letter." Peter reaches for it, but Ricky holds it out over the fire and says that it could easily be his if he'd just help them out with one little job. Now, why Peter doesn't just teleport that box into his own hands is beyond me, but I guess doing so would eliminate the need for...the rest of this storyline.
