Mohinder asks if the name "Sylar" means anything to Nathan, but it doesn't ring a bell. Nathan asks for his name and Mohinder just says it's Dr. Suresh. This omission of his first name, of course, leaves the playing field wide open for Nathan to think that he's the guy on the back of the book Peter kept waving around at him, even though Mohinder is neither wearing a turban nor over sixty years of age. Nathan looks at his lackey and orders him to get rid of Mohinder. The lackey, instead of shooting him in the head like someone in the mafia would when ordered to "get rid of" someone, just asks Mohinder for his contact information. Mohinder continues to yell at Nathan's car as it drives away. "Have you noticed any changes to your physiology? Anything outside the norm, perhaps? An ability you didn't have before? Mind reading? Spontaneous regeneration? Please! It is very important that you listen to me." Inside the car, Nathan is stoic, but clearly spooked. He tells his lackey to keep an eye on Mohinder. "I don't want this nut job following me to Vegas." The lackey assures him that that won't happen, and as Nathan drives off, he gets rid of Mohinder. In the non-murderous way.
More bright light, and then we do a swoop of New York, very Spider-Man-like, and wind up with Peter and Simone, post-coitus. Peter's playing with Simone's hair, and she wakes up and smiles at him. "Last night," he says, "before we kissedâ¦you, uh, made a toast." Simone repeats her toast. "To love. May we stay away from it when it's no good to us." Peter starts to ask if she was talking about him, but she cuts him off at the pass and says she wasn't. Clearly. Seeing as they're naked and all. Peter mentions her and Isaac, and Simone immediately turns over in the bed, obviously not wanting to talk about it. The door buzzer rings, and Peter kisses her and tells her there's coffee in the kitchen before he gets up to answer the door. Aw. He's cute AND he makes coffee! I might need to marry him immediately.
Peter opens the door and Nathan's outside. "You think this is one big joke, don't you Pete?" asks Nathan. Peter steps outside and gently closes the door behind him. Nathan says that Peter's "buddy" Suresh came by the campaign office and talked about mind-reading and spontaneous regeneration. Peter asks how Chandra Suresh found him and Nathan shoves Suresh's book at him. "You tell me." Peter's all, what? You think I called him? Nathan's all, please. I've got trained professionals to do that. Whichâ¦what? So his trained professionals called Suresh? That line makes no sense. Simone calls out to Peter from inside the apartment, asking him where the mugs are. Nathan knocks the door open and we see Simone in Peter's shirt, looking for mugs in the kitchen. Peter tells her where they are and returns to his brother as Simone tries to hide her nakedness.
