Back to the Future. The Guy, as I am now inclined to call him as he really has no name whatsoever, takes Peter back into the same area they just left and Mama Petrelli is there waiting for him. "I'll leave you two alone," he says as Mama Petrelli gets up from her chair. He walks off and Peter walks toward his mother. She embraces him immediately and he pulls back and pushes her away. "Do I know you?" he says, confusion on his face. Angela's face reads disappointment, but she immediately moves into fixer mode and tells him that she's there to help him remember who she is. "I need to find Caitlin," he says, moving off. "You need to FOCUS," she spits. Heh. I love Mama Petrelli.
She tells him that he can move objects with his mind, heal himself and paint the future. Peter's suddenly interested. "How do you know about that?" "You absorb abilities from other people," she says. "You are the most powerful of us all." Notice how she says "us". I'm still wondering what her power is. She tells him that he's kind and caring and selfless and always thinking of others, but now he needs to think about himself. "You need to fly in the face of danger," she says. "Just like your brother." "I have a brother?" Angela looks sick. "He died in the first outbreak," she says. "But you...you can change that." "How?" says Peter. "I was in Montreal in 2007, next thing I know, I'm here!"
Angela fills him in on how he met Hiro Nakamura and now he can time travel. "You can change history!" "I can't!" "You must!" "I can't control these things that are happening to me!" Peter punches the table several times. Angela moves up next to him. "Then this virus will kill us all." Peter shuts his eyes. "Peter," she says, "you need to remember. Focus." Suddenly, Peter starts getting a sensory overload from his mother. Birthdays, events, conversations; they're all being downloaded to his brain. "You need to remember," she says. Peter stands up. "Mom?" he says, looking at her. Crying, Angela nods and then grabs Peter for a hug. He embraces her, looking as confused as ever.
Bennet Bungalow. It's time for Mr. Muggles's close-up. He's sitting in the window, looking oh-so-pretty, watching Claire and West make out while they're listening to some random song on her cell phone. Yes, they're actually kissing on the sofa sharing a pair of earphones. It's so completely gross that I don't know what to do with myself. Mr. Muggles: "You're telling me. Here I am, so gorgeous, and all anyone is looking at is the two horny teens on the sofa. THAT IS SO WRONG. Excuse me. I have to go poop in someone's shoe."
