Peter's sitting in the Coyote Sands Café (I'm serious, that's what the chyron says) when Nathan walks in, and the look Peter gives him of amusement crossed with boredom is one of the finer acting choices Milo has made. Nathan appallingly says they need to get through "whatever it is" that's between them, like he has no idea why Peter would think he's a lying scumbag, and on top of that, Nathan then has the gall to chastise Peter for running away when the going gets tough, and instead of using his righteous anger to summon all the powers his dad stole from him and simultaneously freeze Nathan, cut his head open, and make him explode, Peter settles for pointing out that Nathan ran away from D.C. when he could be back there helping clean up the mess he made. Nathan condescendingly laughs that no one can look down his nose at him like Peter can, and I'd submit that's because he's had both the most reason to and the most practice. Peter, however, brings up an old wound about involving playoff tickets back in 1986, and it's not bad but my upbringing prevents me from relating any story about the Mets that doesn't end in them losing tragically, so suffice it to say that Peter's point is that Nathan has always been a con artist: "Even in your generosity, Nathan, you are selfish. That is just who you are." Well, he's super-hot, too. I'm not arguing with Peter generally, but that is a point that's not only hard to forget but also goes a long way to explain why he gets away with fitting that description. Nathan continues to be disgusting as he says that they have to forgive "each other," like Peter's done anything wrong here, but Peter says he's trying. Their conversation is then interrupted by the emergency broadcast system coming over the TV and informing them that a severe storm warning is suddenly in effect...
...and Bennet's out in it, searching for Claire, when Mohinder suddenly drags him into a nearby shack and demands to know if there are more agents coming. Bennet yells that he's not working with them anymore, and explains about Angela's childhood experience being the reason they're there. Mohinder lets him go and shows him the folder about his father working there...
