Peter tries to convince Mohinder that they have to go back and see Isaac. He swears that, if the answer isn't at the loft, he'll personally drive Mohinder to the airport himself. Mohinder's all, uh, sure. How 'bout you FLY me there instead. Peter's all, duuuuude. That's cold. Let's go see Isaac! Maybe he has some heroin-flavored party favors or something! If nothing else, there'll be THREE hot guys who are superheroes in one room so at least we know we'll be making SOMEONE pretty damn happy! Mohinder just says that there are no answers and that Peter should just go home. He leaves and Peter and his floppy bangs mournfully look out the window in search of more hot guys who are superheroes.
Parkman's House of Bitchy-Yet-Concerned Wives. Oh, good. We're on to my least favorite story of the night. And I loves me some Greg Grunberg, y'all. I just don't care about this story. Mrs. Parkman's in the kitchen, shrieking at someone from the police station on the phone. Apparently, Matt went out on assignment and hasn't checked in since. So she's yelling into the phone and then she... walks out into the living room and Matt has magically appeared on the sofa. Mrs. Matt looks surprised to see him, as if he hasn't been there all along. Even though, as far as I can tell, Matt looks to be extremely hungover and seems to have been dropped onto the sofa from the sky. I don't... get it? Unless she never has to pass through the living room to get to the kitchen, I don't see how she couldn't have seen him lying there. I have no idea why this is bugging me so much, but it is, so shut up.
Matt gets up, cringing and groaning, and Mrs. Matt chucks the phone at his head. She asks him where the hell he's been, and he surmises that he must have drank too much and passed out on the couch. She tells him he's been gone for a day, and he says that's impossible. Well, it's certainly impossible if he's been gone for a day and then just SHOWN UP ON THE SOFA. She says she's called the precinct a dozen times and they said he was working with the F.B.I. She kind of snorts at this news, as if she just knows it's not true. Matt pats his forehead with a cold cloth and says that the F.B.I. thing just started and he was going to tell her about it but-- "But WHAT?" she snots at him. Um, but you WANTED HIM TO LEAVE and SO HE DID? Oh, and he was also going to tell you all about the guy who eats peoples brains and how somehow he can read minds now, but nooooo. You just wanted to make him feel guilty for not digging your new job, didn't you? I think it's time for you to pay a little visit to the Apology Arena and do some first-class public groveling, don't you, Mrs. Matt?
