Isaac asks what he saw and Hiro looks over at Ando. Ando gives him the "go ahead" nod and Hiro tells Isaac that he saw him dead on the floor with his head cut off. Well, it was more like cut open, but whatever. Isaac kind of leans back and puts his hands in his glorious mop of hair and shakes it back and forth as if to determine he still has a head. He also has this hilarious look on his face like, "Well, that's the last time I ask about MY future!" Isaac tells them that the man who cuts off heads is taken care of. Hiro looks over at Charlie's shrine and asks if this means Sylar has been caught. Ando says this is very good news because the brain man killed Hiro's very good friend. Aw. Suddenly, Isaac looks like he's remembered something.
He pulls out his sketchbook and flips to a couple of pages with panels illustrating Charlie and Hiro and Ando meeting in the diner for the first time. He says that he drew these two days ago when he was dead sober. He realizes now that he can actually draw the future without drugs. "You say your mission is to stop the bomb," says Isaac. "In New York." "Yes, uh," says Hiro, "it is our destiny." "I think it may be mine too," says Isaac. Hiro shows him the last page of the comic and Isaac sees the floorpocalypse (tm Wing Chung) that he painted. He comments that he recently painted a picture of a man exploding. "How do you stop an exploding man?" whispers Hiro.
I think we have our new tagline, people.
Casa de Claire. Lyle's at the kitchen counter, just waiting to annoy me. Claire enters and calls out for their parents. Lyle says they're both out and he doesn't know where their dad is. She asks if their dad talked to him, and Lyle's all, 'bout what? "About me," says Claire. "He knows. And he knows that you know." Lyle's like, uh huh? And? Claire's like, dude. You know. My thing. How I can't get hurt. Lyle just reaches out and punches her in the arm. Hee. Claire's expression is like, "Dude? If I didn't have to save the world, I would so kick your ass right now." She asks him what their dad said to him and Lyle says he hasn't seen their father all day. He was supposed to pick Lyle up from practice, but he didn't. Claire's like, well, then, retardo, how'd you get home? Lyle gets this spacey confused look on his face and goes, "I don't... I don't remember." Claire immediately knows that something's gone wrong with her brother. Something with a bald head and an "S" symbol on a chain around his neck.
Dysfunctional Family Picnic. DL is insisting that they can get Niki some help, and Niki says that Jessica's stronger than her. DL doesn't believe that. "You've seen what she can do!" says Niki. "I mean, how do you explain that?" "I can't explain a lot of things," says DL. "Like, why you shot me." Um, dude? Aren't you paying attention? Niki didn't shoot anyone. Jessica did. I think DL might be a little slow. Pretty, but slow. Niki says that Jessica's going to come back at some point and take their son and there's nothing she can do about it. Niki realizes that she can't be trusted. For no reason that I can see, Micah spontaneously drops to the ground and starts cradling his knee. DL, of course, goes to him, and this, of course, gives Niki the chance to leave. She leaves the money behind and walks across to the diner, stopping a sheriff who just happens to be there. DL and Micah watch as Niki turns herself in for murder. Oooooh, Jessica's gonna be PISSED when she wakes up in jail!
