Claire's looking at photos at the wake when Mama Petrelli walks up and says she tried to find photos of Claire but there weren't any. Claire says, "Not of the illegitimate daughter." Mama Petrelli tells her Nathan wanted to acknowledge her, but she told him not to, that it would tarnish his reputation and career. Claire's heard the story. Mama Petrelli asks if she's angry, and she says she's disappointed in her and her dad. Weird. She said pissed not twenty minutes ago. She says she's supposed to look up to her elders, but she can't believe a word either of them says. Angela can't blame her, but she says Claire has a good head on her shoulders and it's Peter she's worried about. Claire actually does believe that. Angela says he's empathetic beyond his years (what with being an empath, and all), but now it's his turn to grieve and he has no idea how. She tells Claire he needs a shoulder to lean on, and Claire's would be nice. She says she's his mother, but he will never trust her again. She sends Claire to him on the roof (where he's listening to a police scanner) and asks her to please help him. I don't think anyone can say no to helping Peter Petrelli, can they? When Claire gets there, though, Peter's gone. Luckily she hears a scanner call about a shooting suspect, so she knows where to find him. Peter arrives somewhere behind a cop (or security guard), whom he touches on the head and knocks out. I really have no clue what the Haitian's power does, apparently, because ... what was that?
Peter's helping a woman who's been shot in the leg, applying pressure to the wound, when Claire arrives. He wonders what she's doing there, and she says she followed him. He doesn't really care, though. He just needs her help to put pressure on the wound. He introduces Claire to the shooting victim, Wendy, who tells Peter the shooter is Adam Malamut, who got fired and then went crazy. Hey, an economy story on Heroes! Claire tells Peter not to do this, and asks him why he's doing it anyway. He says he needs to be more than a Band-Aid and walks off. She tells him to wait, since she's the one who can't get hurt by bullets. But he ignores her and takes off. Wendy doesn't seem to notice that weird reveal, as Claire just talks to her about how to breathe. She's not having a baby, though, is she? Because that would really be inconvenient.
