Eden tells Isaac that Claire is alive and that his paintings helped save her. "Thanks to you," she says, "Sylar won't be able to hurt anyone anymore." Isaac says that this means they can change the future and maybe stop the bomb. Eden stands and says she wishes him the best of luck, because she's leaving the compound. For good. Isaac's all, you're leaving? But we haven't made out yet! And what good is painting the future if no one's going to do anything to change it? I don't know what he's talking about, really, because Eden has so far had nothing whatsoever to do with changing the future. She leans down and kisses him on the cheek while handing him her PDA phone and a keycard. "So change it," she whispers. She leaves, and Isaac stares at his painting of Hiro and Ando beneath the homecoming banner in Odessa. The painting changes to...
... a live shot of Hiro and Ando in front of the homecoming banner in Odessa. Awesome effect there. Hiro's whining that he couldn't save Charlie and now he didn't save the cheerleader, so what the fuck good is his gift anyway? Hiro says that because they didn't save the cheerleader, now they can't save the world. Ando disagrees, saying that maybe it's more of a save the cheerleader first and then save the world. "No," says Hiro. "It's an 'if, then' statement." Computer geeks everywhere fall off their sofas. Ando's all, how do you know? Hiro's all, because I said it! Ando's all, no, FUTURE YOU said it! And that doesn't count as you! Hiro stops. "Never mind," he says, clearly confused by his own ability.
He states that they have to continue on their quest or Jackie and Charlie will have died for nothing. He thinks they have to find Peter Petrelli and then find Isaac and then stop the bomb. "Destiny hasn't forgotten us," says Hiro as his phone rings. It's Isaac. "Hiddo? Hiddo Nakamooda?" says Isaac, pronouncing Hiro's name with a properly lovely Japanese accent. "This is Isaac Mendez." "Mystery Sock!" says Hiro, pronouncing Isaac's name with his jacked-up but adorable Japanese accent. Isaac says they need to meet. Ando asks who it is and Hiro tells him it's destiny. "I wish," says Ando, "Destiny would lose our number." Heh.
Elsewhere in Odessa, Claire's getting interviewed by Clea as Bennet watches protectively. Matt's behind the spy mirror, trying to listen in on their inner thoughts. Claire repeats the story of Jackie's death, but Matt's not getting anything from behind the glass. Clea asks if Sylar exhibited anything out of the ordinary, clearly fishing for clues from Claire. She shoots a look at her father and snots back at Clea, "You mean, besides killing my friend?" "No," says Clea. "I mean like falling five stories and walking away without a scratch." Claire's all, the hell? Clea's all, dude, you said Peter tackled Jackie's attacker and they both fell over the edge of the building, right? Pretty long fall just to walk away from, eh? Matt's still got nothing except feedback.
