Claire's still getting messages from Rebel, who insists upon using all caps. Claire has the good sense to respond like normal person. However, she does cave and do what Rebel asks. Especially since it involves helping a fairly cute employee at a comic book store. I'm just disappointed it isn't Breckin Meyer or Seth Green. Anyway, she warns Alex (who can breathe underwater) that he needs to hit the road and avoid HRG at all costs. He ends up hiding out in her closet. Which is fine, since Claire also had time to tell her mommy all about HRG's wrongdoings in New York, and mom kicks him the hell out of the house. Which leads to HRG getting drunk at a bar, but his drink has been roofied by Matt, Mohinder and Peter, who did nothing at all this episode except carry HRG out of a bar.
Hiro and Ando play wedding crashers in New Delhi, but Ando finds the bride Anna (played by a woman who I sadly recognize from Superstars of Dance) first and talks her out of walking down the aisle before Hiro can reenact Parkman's picture. Then Ando gets kidnapped by a very irate groom and Hiro gets to save the day, just like he always wanted. And then they get a fax (because neither of them has a cell phone, apparently) from the multimedia Rebel, who instructs them to save Parkman.
Meanwhile in Nathanland, his little pet project is on the verge of being shut down by DHS agent Moira Kelly (who has gotten very old since her toe-picking days). She's doesn't believe in super powers, and she's all kinds of pissed off that her old co-worker Tracy is tied to a chair under some heat lamps. She comes to put a stop to their torture, until she sees Tracy in action, at which point she wants to give them extra cash. Danko apparently unleashed Tracy on a poor unsuspecting security guard, to save his job.
Danko is also pretty surveillance-happy, and is eagerly chasing down Sylar who is off roadtripping out west with his little mini-me. Sylar gives Luke some brotherly (?) advice about having an objective, but then ditches him as they escape from Danko's lackeys. Or at least it seems like he does, but then in true Sylar fashion he goes and kills a whole van full of agents. We don't get to see it though, sadly, but the van was a rockin' and there were a whole bunch of dead bodies laying in it afterwards. Sylar stomps off with his little boytoy over his shoulder and a fancy new laptop in hand. Luke tries to thank him, but Sylar brushes it off and turns on the radio as "Psycho Killer" plays … which is so appropriately amusing that it almost makes this random storyline a little more bearable.
