Claire comes back to her dorm room, telling Annie she didn't see her leave the party. She notices the window is open and looks out, where Annie's laying dead on the ground in a pool of blood. Claire covers her mouth. Either out of shock or because she is excited that she can now do nothing and still get a 4.0 this term. Isn't that how the rumor goes?
Matt walks through his house, and steps on a toy car. Meanwhile, Nathan tries to move a cup with his mind again, but can't. Matt walks into Baby Matt's room, and he's not there. He starts screaming for him, and actually says, "Matty, are you hiding again?" Because babies so often get out of their cribs and "hide." Nathan gets up and walks to the bathroom and turns on the light with his mind, but doesn't seem to notice. He stares into the mirror. Back at Matt's, Sylar's holding Matty. He looks at Matt and says, "I want my body back." Matt wants Sylar to put Baby Matt down, and wonders how he's here. Sylar says he's part of Matt, and is inside his head. Matt's like, "So, you're not real?" Sylar wonders how he could be holding Baby Matt, then? Sylar says he's not going away until Matt undoes whatever it is he did to leave him body-less. Janice comes in, and Sylar throws Baby Matt toward Matt, who reaches up to catch just as Janice walks in. But Sylar was a figment of Matt's imagination, so he just looks crazy standing over their sleeping son with his arms outstretched. He makes up a lame, "I thought I heard him cry" story, but Janice thinks he's lost it and tells him to come back to bed.
Back in his D.C. apartment, Bennet is busy burning microwave meals in his toaster oven. So, he looks in his fridge and we see just mustard and a bottle of water, which he grabs. Then he makes a phone call. A man answers, and Bennet says he must have dialed the wrong number. The guy's like, "Who are you looking for," and Bennet says "Sandra. Bennet." The guy's like, "Yeah, she's here," and puts her on the phone. Bennet hangs up. His phone rings again, and he thinks it's her, but it's Tracy, calling him to Danko's. How do all of the people who hate each other on this show always have each other's cell phone numbers, anyway? Do you make it a habit of exchanging cell numbers with your enemies? Bennet walks in and sees dead Danko, and Tracy says she didn't do it. Well, duh, it's knives not water.
Hiro's still at the carnival and freaking out about it. He'd like to leave again and tries, but he doesn't seem to control his power. Young Hiro comes up behind him and asks him to take their picture. Hiro himself snaps the photo of the three of them as kids. Young Hiro tells him he looks familiar, and Hiro says he has one of those faces. They did a great job casting Young Hiro because he could be Masi Oka's brother. Hiro watches Young Hiro go into the fortune teller, but he won't change it. He tries to leave again, but can't. Samuel interrupts him, in Japanese, then in English, calling Hiro by name. Samuel introduces himself, saying he thinks they'll be great friends.
