Guatemala. Time to catch up with the story I could give a shit about. Alejandro and Maya show up at the home of an old friend. She greets them warmly and tells them to come inside. We learn that she has agreed to help them across into Mexico. She tells them to go rest, because they're in for a long night, and others are coming to join them. Once alone, Maya immediately begins bitching at Alejandro that they shouldn't be risking their friend, and should find a way to cross alone. She's worried that her power will rear its ugly head again, but Alejandro promises that he won't let that happen. And...scene. And...yawn.
Top O' the Mornin' Pub. Peter's still tied up and still shirtless. The door creaks open, and a pretty girl stands there. "Bet you were prettier-looking yesterday," she quips in a Northern Irish accent. I doubt that, lassie, because he's pretty damn gorgeous today, lemme tell you. She asks him what the "S" symbol around his neck means, and he says he has no idea. She asks him his name, but he doesn't know that either. She introduces herself as Caitlin and starts cleaning the blood off his face. Peter asks her what the Shamrock Boys are going to do to him. She says it'll be whatever her brother feels like doing, and Peter realizes that the aforementioned brother is Sir Shamrock. Caitlin mentions that this iPod deal or whatever is bigger than just a bunch of electronics; apparently, it was going to be some sort of leverage in an existing situation with someone named McSorley. She continues cleaning Peter up as she asks him for a name or a face -- anything that will help them identify who took the swag. Peter says that the first thing he remembers is waking up in the container and some guy taking a swing at him. She laughs as she recalls the story of an electric flash knocking the hitter on his arse. Peter hesitatingly tells Caitlin that he thinks the flash...came from him. She laughs a bit, but then she realizes that she's swabbed up a hell of a lot of Peter's blood, only to find that he doesn't actually have a single wound on his face. They both look at his face in the mirror across the room, clearly spooked out of their minds.
Haiti. Damn, the production crew on this show earns their paychecks. I'm watching the show in HD and it totally looks like Mohinder's in Haiti. This is wicked. Also? I might be kissing my HDTV right now. Maybe. A little. Ahem. So, Mohinder's running around, looking for the sick Haitian. He finally locates a door and knocks, announcing his entrance in French. He shuts the door and tells whoever's there that he's a doctor. He sees someone in a bed across the room and goes over to him. Mohinder touches the patient's shoulder, and the patient turns, and of course it's the Haitian Sensation that Swept the Nation. Mohinder tells HS that he's sick and that there's a cure. HS doesn't want the cure. He wants to die. God gave him this gift,and he used it for evil instead of good, so now God wants him to die. Mohinder ignores this comment and says there's a chance that he's suffering from some other virus that Mo doesn't have the cure for, but if he's suffering from the virus Mohinder thinks he is, there's only one cure: a distillation of Mohinder's blood. Mo says that he was led to HS, so that's another kind of sign from God, isn't it? HS wonders what kind of sign he's talking about, and Mo says it's a sign that God isn't quite done with him yet.
