Oh, good god. Hiro's still not driving his car. He's just sitting on it, tossing the keys aimlessly, waiting for divine intervention. It arrives in the form of Ando, who is extremely lucky that his friend has never BEEN IN A CAR BEFORE. "I guessâ¦we call the artist again," says Ando. Hiro smiles at him sweetly. They do need each other after all!
Isaac's Den of Iniquity. We see a big pool of red paint (or blood) on the floor and, as the camera pans up the easel, we see that it's dripping off the canvas that Peter has just finished painting. There's a crude representation of Claire at the bottom corner and the top of her head is cut off and her body is surrounded by blood. I think we all know what THAT means. It's pretty obvious that, while Peter might have siphoned off Isaac's sight, he by no means siphoned off his talent. The finished painting is pretty bad. But we get the point: Claire's in danger of being SylarizedTM. Peter and Isaac stare at the painting for a couple of seconds. Finally, Isaac rasps, "How'd you do that?" "I don't know," responds Peter. "We have to save her," says Isaac with determination.
The phone rings.
Isaac tells Peter to ignore it; some crazy Japanese guy keeps calling and leaving messages he can't understand. Peter's like, aha! He runs to the phone and picks up. "Hello?" "Mistah Izzak?" says Hiro. "Izzak Mennez?" "Who is this?" asks Peter, not recognizing PresentHiro's bad English. "My name is Hiro Nakamura," says Hiro, holding out his cell phone so Ando can listen in. "My name's Peter Petrelli," says Peter. "I have a message for you." Hiro and Ando both look at each other all, but no! We have a message for YOU.
Next on Heroes: Peter delivers the "save the cheerleader, save the world" message to Hiro, Isaac discovers the "S" symbol on one of his paintings, D.L. passes through walls and grabs Niki, Micah confesses that he knows his parents' secrets, and Niki comes face-to-face with ikiN, and I don't think that's a very good thing at all.
