Micah's Personal Prison. Candice comes out and says she's going to take a shower and he apologizes for mouthing off to her earlier. The second she's in the shower, Micah runs to the door, uses his power on the security pad, and runs out. He speeds down the hallway and Noah Gray-Cabey has the most adorable run I've ever seen. His shoulders are kind of hunched over and he's shuffling. So cute. He runs to another door and opens it, only to find himself back in the hotel room. So he runs back out into the hallway and tries another door. But he's back in the room again. Candice comes out of the bathroom, toweling her hair. This time, she's not morphed into Niki, though. Micah asks who she is, and she says that she can make him see anything he wants. "Makes it kinda hard to get away, huh?" she says with a smile. She tells him that if he doesn't listen to what Mr. Linderman says, she'll show him things that will mess him up for life. She says he needs to behave, and a giant cartoon shark on the TV screen behind him looks like it's going to chomp off his head. Ouch.
Cut to Hiro and Ando, trolling around outside Sylar's mom's place. Inside, she's washing dishes as Sylar says, "What if I told you I can be special? Important. But to do it, I'd have to hurt a lot of people. Should I?" She says that he could never hurt anyone, and he just says that there are a lot of things he can do that she doesn't know about. And that's when he makes the gargantuan error of sharing some of his abilities with his mother. He starts by making it snow in her living room so that she's in her own snow globe. At first, she's totally into it, but when she realizes that her son is making this happen without the help of a special effects department, she starts to freak. At the same time, Sylar starts getting his Sylar-ized expression on his face and he keeps getting darker and darker. All of a sudden, the room starts to shake and globes start spinning around and one of them smashes into his mother's face, cutting her.
