Suddenly, Peter gets this look on his face like, "What the fuck just happened to my head?" Matt pointedly shoots a look at Peter's head and Peter looks like he's just been brained with a shovel. Then Matt feels the pain that Peter's feeling and Peter feels the pain that Matt's feeling and then they're just paining back and forth at each other. "What're you doin' to me?" asks Peter. Matt gets something from him. "Save the cheerleader," he says, sitting down. "Too late for that, Matt," say Clea's inner thoughts. "The cheerleader's dead." Peter hears this, of course, because now he has Matt's power, and he's like, "WAIT WHADDYA MEAN THE CHEERLEADER'S DEAD? CLAIRE'S DEAD? OH FUCK." Matt looks over at him and thinks, "Did he just read her mind? Is he one of them?" Peter looks back over at him, hearing every word. There's some back and forth about Jackie and Claire and Sylar, until, finally, Peter just stands up and says that if they want to catch Sylar, they need to find Claire and protect her. Matt listens in on Peter's head and declares that he's telling the truth. Clea gets up and says that they'd better find Claire, then. Peter's all, but... aren't ya gonna let me out? "You get out when I get answers," says Clea, shutting the door behind her. Peter does not look well at all.
Brooklyn. Mohinder's returning to his father's gargantuan apartment. There's a note taped to the door. It's from Eden. It says that she knew he'd come back and not to look for Mohinder the Lizard because she set him free in Central Park weeks ago. Seriously -- did anyone think about the lizard in all this? Mohinder gallivants off to India to deal with his daddy issues and just leaves poor MohinderLizard at home with no crickets to eat? That's just bad parenting.
After Mohinder settles in, he immediately begins calling places like the CIA and the FBI about his List of Heroes. He's pissed because he faxed the list to the CIA's Quantico office and no one's bothered to start warning the people on the list about Sylar the Brain Sucker. Mohinder gets nowhere with the CIA because they have better things to do than listen to a crazy man with a fluctuating Indian/British/American accent talk about Heroes and brain suckers and total eclipses of the sun. He hangs up sees a sticky with Isaac's name on it. Ravi Shankar's wail over the soundtrack would indicate that this is a potentially good thing for Mohinder.
Speaking of Isaac, he's in his rehab room, sketching furiously. Eden enters and delightedly notes that he's drawing again. Isaac's annoyed that he's drawing but it's nothing really significant. Certainly nothing prophetic. She's pleased nonetheless. He doesn't think he can paint the future without drugs. She's convinced he'll get there eventually. Isaac says that, to be honest, he likes that he's just drawing for the sake of drawing now, instead of painting the future. That's why he likes comics; you can't take them too seriously. I don't know about that, dude. Have you ever BEEN to a comic book store? Or seen Unbreakable? I think Elijah Price would beg to differ, Isaac.
