Superstudio of Superheroes. Tobby is paging through some of Isaac's comics as several FBI-looking dudes catalog paintings and other items. Mohinder enters and incredulously asks if this isn't Isaac Mendez's place. Tobby confirms that it was, until Sylar killed the poor bastard. Now it's Mohinder's lab. Tobby tells him that the lab was actually built for him and that he has great value at The Company. Such great value, in fact, that they've assigned people to keep a close eye on him and anticipate his every need. Mohinder thinks this is excessive, not to mention kind of creepy, and he says that he prefers to work alone. "You're part of the family now," says Tobby, totally freaking Mohinder out. He leaves, and Mohinder just looks at the floor as if it's going to sprout spies or something.
1671. The Land Of Hungry Ronin. And Meandering Plots I'm Quickly Growing Tired Of. Hiro and Yaeko are waiting on Kensei, who's still off fighting the Ronin. Yaeko worries that he's been killed, or, worse yet, that he's run off to avoid being killed. Hiro asserts that Kensei is coming and that he knows she is waiting for him. Yaeko says that sometimes, Kensei seems like two men; one a brute, the other gentle. She is, of course, rightly identifying both the real Kensei and Hiro-as-Kensei. One's a charming cad, the other's a big old girl. Can you tell which one I prefer?
Yaeko says that for a moment, back under the cherry blossoms, she felt like she was home. It seems that Hiro might take this chance to tell her that was him beneath the trees with her, but Kensei shows up with the fire scroll and steals his thunder. Yaeko runs to him, and they embrace. She says she'll never doubt him again and throws him a kiss and, to his credit, Kensei actually looks like the battle has softened him a bit. Hiro, of course, looks like he's about to cry, because he's a big fat baby.
New Orleans. Niki and Micah arrive at a house in a cab. They get out as Niki tells Micah that things are going to be better now. Since Micah's going to stay with some random family members he doesn't even know, he's not sure how things are improving. Niki reminds him of his promise about not using his powers, and Micah thinks this is stupid, because what's the point of them having all these abilities if they're not going to use them? Niki says that the point is that this is their chance at a normal life; he's going to stay with normal people, and they wouldn't understand his special powers. Well, considering that the family member you're going to be staying with is Commander Uhura from the original Star Trek, I'd say that the word "normal" may not be what you'd use in this situation. But I'm getting ahead of myself.
