Matt and HRG are driving through the desert. They arrive right where Vanessa's chip has led them, but there's nothing there but some old carnival fliers. HRG says the carnival was here. Matt doesn't think an entire carnival just disappears, but HRG says this one does, and you have to have a compass to find it. He says that's how Claire found it, with the compass she got from him. Matt thinks that's great; they can just go talk to her, then, but HRG's still having none of that. Matt tells him he's burning bridges if he can't talk to Claire anymore. He asks how it will work then, and HRG says he doesn't know, but they have to find it somehow. It really is stupid that he won't talk to Claire in order to save her and everyone.
Back at Matt's house, he's chopping vegetables as HRG leaves a message for Lauren, then wonders why making ratatouille is so important. They argue, because HRG thinks this is more important than making dinner for your family, but Matt doesn't. HRG says Matt's one of the good guys, he has a responsibility, and he's not a coward. Matt says that some days you can't save the world, and should try to get your own house in order. "Go home. Hug your little girl." HRG looks like he's thinking about it, as Matt continues chopping. HRG looks back once as he leaves.
Peter's asleep, dreaming. In the dream, Emma looks distraught, but she's playing at the carnival, as people scream. She's crying, but can't stop playing. Then Sylar shows up and tells her not to worry; he's come to save her. Peter wakes up and covers his eyes with his hands. At Emma's, she's staring at her cello when Peter buzzes (or blinks, I guess). He says hi, then bashes her cello to bits. She asks what's wrong, and he explains he had a dream that comes true that a lot of people will die because of the cello. She can't believe he'd do that because of a dream, so he explains further that he had to do it to stop something bad from happening. She kicks him out, and he starts to leave but turns to say he's sorry. He says it BEHIND HER, and she responds, "Goodbye, Peter." Wait, did I miss something? Isn't she deaf?
