Matt's on the phone when we get back from commercials. Leaving a message for Mohinder! OMG. They remember he exists. Matt says, "I have no idea where you are." That makes six million of us (or however many are still watching at this point). He pleads for him to call hi back. Then he swigs some beer, and Sylon's like, "Mohinder? How's he going to help you? He's probably still working on his fath-uh's ree-such." (That's my attempt at Sylon's impersonation of Mohinder, which is amusing.) Matt tries to ignore Sylon, but Sylon is pesky and just won't leave. He tells Parkman to forget it and just give him back his body already. Matt drinks again and Sylon experiences physical pain. Sylon keeps talking, but stops in pain every time Matt drinks. Parkman realizes the alcohol's hurting him, so he pounds the beer, screaming for Sylon to stop him from drinking if he can control him. Then he moves on to the harder stuff, and says, "I think I've finally found a leash for this dog." Oh, Matt, this is how alcoholism begins, don't you know? Trying to silence the demons in your head.
Back in Georgia, Jeremy's still in his cell when Tracy returns. HRG tells her that her guy, Dennis, came through and made all the arrangements to get Jeremy out of here. Tracy's a little shaken from her carnival experience but pretends she's okay and just wants to get Jeremy out. They tell him he's getting out and he wonders who he's going to live with. HRG says he's set up a new identity for him and he'll live in his apartment building and go to Georgetown High School. No one will know what he can do, and he'll learn to control his ability with Tracy's help. But he can't tell anyone; that's the only way. Jeremy wonders what if something happens, and Tracy tells him nothing will. He'll be safe. He'll be invisible. She looks torn. Jeremy sighs.
Slaughterhouse. Gretchen tells Claire that this is just a sorority game, and they wouldn't have brought them here to kill them. I mean, like, who's ever heard of anything getting killed in a slaughterhouse, right? Gretchen asks how that thing would have moved toward them since no one was there, other than just coincidence. Claire says there are a million ways in her world. Such as telekinesis. She says she's seen it, and knows someone who has it. Gretchen asks if there's another one of Claire here at the slaughterhouse, and is bored and playing a college prank on her. Claire says it's not a prank. Gretchen asks if Claire thinks they're trying to kill her, and Claire says, "Not me." Gretchen: "Then who?" Claire turns and looks at her, and Gretchen's all, "Come on! Me?" As if no one has ever wanted to kill her. Claire tells her to think about it, since her first roommate had that mysterious death with a mysterious note that showed up after the fact. Gretchen thinks that's a little out there and sounds like some "crazy-ass conspiracy theory." She pauses and then says, "Which pretty much describes your entire life." Uh-oh. They hear a noise and Gretchen's freaked. Snotty and Ditzy run in, and Claire asks if they found another clue. Snotty's all, "Like I'm gonna tell you." Claire tells her that Ditzy's freaked and she doesn't care about the treasure, so why not work together? Claire says they can have the treasure, and Snotty agrees.
