"You wanted it as bad as I did!" he scums at her. That's not a verb, BUT IT SHOULD BE. He tries to stop the car, but Claire's in control. "Did I want it as bad as Laurie Trammel?" she says. "Laurie Trammel was a slut," he says. "Is that what you're gonna say about me?" she asks. "I already do," he says. And that's when Claire realizes that Jock isn't just a Rapist, he's a SERIAL Rapist. "You should let it go, Claire," he smarms. "There's nothing you can do about it." Oh, but you see, there IS Mr. Rapist Scumbucket! And Claire's about to do it. "I can do this," she says, and drives directly into the wall of a building as Jock the Serial Rapist just screams and screams and screams.
Meanwhile, ikiN and Nathan are sleeping off their night of hot hero sex. Bad Glasses Man appears at the end of their bed (CREEPY!) and tells Creepy Bald Guy of Silence to "just take the one." Which "one" he means, we don't find out, but Creepy Bald Guy of Silence moves over to Nathan's side of the bed, so I'm guessing it ain't Niki.
Back in the Subway of Love, Peter slams his hand against the glass and tries to get out. But nothing happens. Suddenly, there are footsteps on the roof of the train car. Peter panics a bit, but there's nowhere for him to go. He turns slowly andâ¦there is Hiro, only he doesn't look like himself at all! His hair is slicked back, he's wearing all black and what looks like a Matrix sort of cape. He looks like Jackie Chan crossed with Neo. He's Neo Chan! Ha! Hiro steps forward and says, "Peter Petrelli" in completely unaccented English. "How is this happening?" asks Peter. "I'm sorry if I scared you," says Hiro. It should be noted that he has what looks like a sword or staff or something strapped across his back. ["He's a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle! It all makes sense!" -- Joe R] "You look different without your scar," says Hiro. "I don't know you, buddy," says Peter. "Not yet," says Hiro. "My name is Hiro Nakamura. I'm from the future. I've a message for you."
To be continuedâ¦
Next on Heroes: Hiro continues to speak of the future, the future starts to guide the Heroes, Nathan runs away and then actually flies away and the central task for the rest of the season seems to be "Save. The. Cheerleader. Save. The. World." I shit you not.
