Superhero Superhigh. Claire is having regrets over what they did to QBBC. West thoroughly enjoyed it, and thinks Claire is being a buzzkill. The nice cheerleader from before runs up and tells them that QBBC failed the breathalyzer test and got booted from the squad. The good news is that this opens up a spot on the team so...welcome aboard, Unextraordinary Claire! The girl leaves, and Claire looks mightily pleased with herself.
Odessa. Bennet grabs the frame with the family photo in it, and asks why Ivan never mentioned having a daughter. "She died, didn't she?" asks Bennet. Ivan confirms this, saying that she died of leukemia. Bennet acts sympathetic, but the performance is short-lived as he quickly says, "To think, all you have left of her...is your memories." Ivan looks at him, realizing what Bennet has planned for him. "It would be awful if they were taken," says Bennet. "Almost as if she never existed." Ivan starts begging Bennet not to take his memories, but Bennet ignores him, telling the Haitian Sensation to take every last memory of the daughter Ivan has. "Wait!" says Ivan. "It's in the warehouse! Near the train yard. Where we tagged the liquid man! You'll find your paintings there!" "Thank you," says Bennet gratefully. "Now what?" says Ivan. "Your Haitian friend makes sure that I will forget you were ever here?" Bennet nods at the Haitian Sensation, but instead of putting his hands on Ivan's head, the Haitian Sensation just walks away as the Violins of Bennet's Badness play across the soundtrack. Ivan looks confused. "I wish it were that easy," says Bennet as he trashes the place. "Once The Company discovers your memory loss, they'll trace it back to the Haitian, which will leads to my family. And I can't have that." Bennet continues trashing the place, saying that he's going to make it look like a simple home invasion, ignoring the fact that he's basically putting his prints all over the damn place. For real -- these Heroes are damn stupid about the execution of the simplest of illegal activities. Speaking of executions, Bennet then pulls a gun on Ivan and points it at his head. Ivan blathers that he's offering Bennet a way out. "Shoot me and there is no way back!" he shouts. "You'll condemn yourself to hell!" Bennet pauses for barely a second and then pulls the trigger, shooting Ivan in the head. "I know," he grits, looking down at the dead body. Damn. That's cold.
Old Japan. Kensei's crouched over a fading fire as Hiro runs up, saying that he's been searching for Kensei for hours. He says that they must go destroy White Beard's guns. Kensei's all, "Oh yeah? How 'bout you do that yourself, princess kisser!" Kensei tells Hiro that he saw the whole thing, and that Hiro betrayed him. Hiro says that he didn't, but then he totally cops to the kissing thing and says that he and Yaeko are in love with each other. "So you've been lying to me all along," says Kensei. "First you show me how I can be harmed by no weapon; then you cut me deeper than any blade possibly could." Hiro declares that he will not pursue his love of Yaeko, because she is Kensei's, and he must stop White Beard; the fate of the world rests in his hands. Kensei nods and says he'll do it, but when he walks behind Hiro, he smacks him down, and Hiro falls. White Beard comes out from the bushes with Yaeko and her father in custody, and tells Kensei that whatever he wants shall be his. Kensei just walks away.
