Cut to Niki, sitting at a table with her wrists in manacles. The shrink enters and asks her if she's had a change of heart. Niki says she's concerned for her son and that her family needs her. So she needs to get rid of Jessica. The doctor thinks that talking to Jessica is the first step to helping get rid of her. Niki's not fond of this idea. The doctor asks again to talk to Jessica. Niki shouts that she won't let that happen. The doctor threatens her with not seeing Micah again for a very long time, and Niki grows visibly agitated. Uh-oh. Not a good idea to threaten Niki, like, ever. Then she kind of calms down and gives the doctor a look like, this ain't gonna happen, lady. The doctor gets up to leave and Niki stops her. "Wait," she says, getting a look on her face that indicates she might try to bring Jessica into the conversation some point soon.
Family of Heroes Homestead. D.L.'s pacing. Micah enters and his father demands to know where he's been. Micah says he was out walking around and D.L. orders him to sit the hell down. D.L. has a Come to Jesus moment with his son, saying that his mom's not coming home and he's having a hard time being a good father to him. He says he can't get a job, he can't pay the rent and his own father never taught him to be a decent father, but that's what he wants to be. So he and Micah have to pull together to make this work. Micah apologizes and says he promises to try harder. "Maybe this will help," he says. He opens his backpack and pours out hundreds of crisp twenty dollar bills. D.L's all, what in the HELL? "Where'd you get this from?" asks D.L. "You know how you and Mom have a secret?" says Micah. "Well, I have a secret too." Hee.
Non-Magic Bus. Hiro and Ando. Driving around. In a van. The van parks, and Hiro asks where they are. "Your secret headquarters?" Hee. Hiro demands to be let go. "That's up to the boss," says the henchman. He slides open the door and gets out, slamming it behind him. Ando wants to go home and tells Hiro to tell the boss whatever he wants to hear. Hiro tells his friend not to be afraid; he won't betray him, no matter what. Ando's expression is like, dude? Go ahead and betray me. Just get me the hell outta here. The van door is opened again and Hiro and Ando come face-to-face with their captor: Mr. Sulu. That's right. George Takei, people. George "Sulu" Takei!
