WHAM! The sound of books falling to the floor across the room makes both of them spin around. Luckily, it's just Mohinder the Lizard, begging for some attention. Aw. I totally want a lizard now. He and Hiro can share a cage! Pixie picks up Mohinder and puts him back into his terrarium. Suresh sees something on the bottom of the cage and asks what it is. Pixie picks it up and observes that it's a portable hard drive. Suresh plugs it into his computer and some complex codes start spilling across the screen. "My god," says Suresh. "He actually did it. He came up with a way to find them." He turns to Pixie. "You wondered why someone would want to kill my father? The reason for his death? It's this. I'm going to finish what my father started." As the code crawls across the screen, that S-curved symbol from Isaac's apartment can be seen with in it. Yeah, it's that Dharma shit all over again. Ten bucks says someone out there starts keeping a running tab of how many times it appears and where during each episode. Not that there's anything wrong with thatâ¦
Agent SeanMatt's standing out by the pool, wondering if he can listen in on the confessionals at his church with his new talent, when Bitchy McFussyPants walks up and demands to know how he knew about the little girl. He says he heard the girl whispering. "House full of cops and you're outside and you just happened to hear her whispering?" grits Clea. Pretty much, dude. He checks his watch and says that he's supposed to be meeting his wife at a counseling session because they're having problems. Bitchy sneers at him and her thoughts say, "This guy's worthless." Matt looks at her like, did I just hear you right? She tells Clea, out loud, to cut Matt loose, and walks off. He starts to leave, but Clea stops him. She brings up the fact that Matt's taken the detective exam three times and failed three times. She's all, you really think you're detective material? And he's all, shit YEAH bitch!
She grills him about how failing the tests makes him feel, and he says he's disappointed and angry, and she wonders if he's angry enough to set himself up for a royal flush in the achievements department. He's all, what, you think I set this whole thing up to make myself LOOK GOOD? "I didn't kill these people, Sylar did!" Clea looks at him like, THE HELL? Her thoughts go, "How did he know that name?" Then she asks him out loud how he knows that name. "I heard it," he says. "From you." He looks totally surprised by this realization. "Like you heard the girl whisper," her innermost thoughts snit. "Yeah," he says, answering her thoughts. Clea doesn't seem to realize that he's actually talking to her thoughts and not to her verbal responses because she says, "Then hear this one, Parkman: you're under arrest." She cuffs him as we head to commercial.
