Emma's walking down the street. We hear street noise as we're away from her and then silence when the camera's close up, so we know what it's like to be her. She watches a siren in silence, and sees red. Then she watches a jackhammer and sees even more red. Apparently, the color red scares her so much that she backs into traffic, in front of a bus. Lucky for her, in the entire city of New York, Peter Petrelli happens to be right there to whisk her out from in front of said bus. He asks if he's okay, but we get silence (her perspective), then we hear him say, "You almost... you all right?" They both look confused. Commercials, the first of which is one of those Liberty Mutual Responsibility Project ads that are mini-movies made by NBC actors. This one's made by Milo, who introduces it by telling us how much like Peter he is: heroic and full of himself. The movie, Dave Knowle Finds His Soul, stars Masi Oka, who is totally adorable, trying to help people but continually being punished for it. In the end, a hot girl gives him her number for being such a nice guy. Because, haven't you heard? The nice guy always gets the girl in the end.
Emma's taking off again, and we get silence as the camera's close-up. Then the camera backs off to see Peter following her, trying to talk, but she just storms off as he tries to ask if she's okay. He finally gives up and just mutters, "You're welcome." Peter dashes into an alley and hilariously tries to run super-speed. It doesn't work, so he tries again, and again. In frustration that the power's gone, he kicks a garbage can, and watches it roll and make noise as yellow shoots off of it. He realizes he must have borrowed the lamest power in the world from Emma.
