Burnt Toast Diner. Present Day. Ando's still waiting for Hiro. Luckily, he appears in the doorway as a rainstorm rages outside. Ando runs into his arms and Hiro informs him that he didn't teleport back to America; he got on a plane and a bus, just like normal people. Also? I'd like to see Hiro's bank account right about now. A last-minute flight from Tokyo to Texas might run you about, oh, I don't know, THIRTEEN HUNDRED DOLLARS? Hiro says he couldnât save Charlie, no matter how many times he traveled forward, backward or sideways. He says that this power he has is bigger than him and he can't change the past, no matter how hard he wishes he could. "I failed," he says, holding up one of the paper cranes.
India. Moyawnder is checking out the List of Heroes again. "This list," his voice-over says, "these people... their future is written on their DNA. Just as the past, it seems, is written in stone." We see Charlie with the brain blood running down her face and then Claire, right after her run-in with Sylar, telling her father that she has something to tell him. Moyawnder: "Was the die cast from the very beginning?" Peter gets arrested. Moyawnder again: "Or is it in our own hands to alter the course of destiny? Of all our abilities, it is free will that truly makes us unique." Mindblower brings down Sylar, and Eden removes his hat to see his face. Moyawnder: "With it, we have a tiny, but potent, chance to deny fate." DL and Micah run to their car as ikiN takes aim and a shot is fired. "And only with it can we find our way back to being human." Hiro places the paper crane on Charlie's shrine. "I loved her," says Hiro. Ando places a hand on his friend's shoulder in commiseration.
Next on Heroes: A Hero is lost and there's a surprise ending. What, like ikiN is really one of Niki's shattered multiple personalities or Sylar is really someone named Gabriel Gray? Yeah. I'm not holding my breath on the "surprise," thanks.
