As Flint watches, Peter tells Knox, who just so happens to be shoving his head into a desk, that he doesn't know how he got into Jesse's body. Knox asks the eminently reasonable question of why, then, Peter came with them, and Peter, instead of giving one of the eminently reasonable answers to that question (such as there aren't tons of places for someone in a murderer's body to go, or that with no powers, he actually needed the Villains for protection) he says that he couldn't let them hurt people, like, NICE JOB WITH THAT SO FAR. Knox, however, gives an awesome, awesome answer: "Now I know you're full of it. Nobody's that heroic!" Flint punctuates that sentiment by punching Peter, and wow, I just realized how hard I'm rooting for the Villains this season. They're the only ones with any sense of humor!
Behind the screen, some woman, with a briefcase to match The Haitian's asks why the formula's being moved now, since that hasn't happened in years. The Haitian gives a vague answer about "recent events" likely having to do with Peter's screw-ups, Hiro's, or both, leading Mama Petrelli to conclude that the other half would be safer "closer to home." Hiro and Ando then sneak up the staircase that leads to this area and observe The Haitian with the formula. Ando wonders how they can get it from him, but Hiro, after observing what looks like an usher's uniform on a rack behind him, smiles. "I have a plan." Take cover.
Bennet dons a police vest ("it's for show," he says) and hands his glasses (maybe he's catching on) and his gun (he's supposed to be unarmed) to Sylar (who's going to kill me for all the parentheticals). Sylar, with what almost looks like concern, says that there's no way the Unit 5 guys will let Bennet out alive, but Bennet is firm: "Under no circumstances are you to go anywhere near that buffet in there." He heads in, and it's too bad he took his glasses back, because otherwise Sylar could amuse himself by using his new "If These HRGs Could Talk...Wait, They Can!" power.
