Claire and Nathan are hiding out in Mexico, and after Nathan passes out while trying to drink some frat boys under the table for money, Claire takes up where he left off, and her healing power enables her to drop the frats and take their cash. Afterward, Nathan apologizes to Claire for how horrible he's been to her, and tells her he gave her the free pass to win her over. He promises that he's going to try to fix the mess he's made, for Peter and Angela and her, but in the sober light of day, he confesses he has no allies and everything's way beyond his control. Claire is devastated at how lame her bio-dad is, but he gets it together in time to win her back before the episode ends.
Peter tells Angela he only saved her because he wants to know what's going on, and Angela tells him she brought him to the church at which she and Arthur got married to find the answers they both seek. She confesses that she hasn't been able to dream for a while, and it's all her fault, because of what she did to their family. She apologizes to Peter for basically everything she ever did to him, and after Peter informs God that he's pissed at him and everyone else for the mess they're all in, agents invade the church, so Peter and Angela duck into the confessionals to hide. Therein, Angela tells Peter when she was his age, her power manifested and she saw visions of a horrible future. She tried to warn people, but they treated her as a Cassandra, so she turned to lies and betrayal to get her message across. Bennet then finds them, but doesn't let on to the other agents, and after they're gone, Angela succeeds in having a dream, and she says that after they collect Nathan and Claire, they need to visit her sister. Casting director, don't let me down.
In Arlington, Virginia, Danko and Bennet are on a scene where some agents were mysteriously slaughtered, but things become clearer when Danko gets into his car and finds Sylar waiting for him. Sylar basically wants to suck Danko's dick, but since they can't say that on TV, he instead offers to find the guy that killed his men. Although Danko is wary of trusting Sylar initially, Sylar eventually tells him that the guy the murdered agents went after is a shapeshifter. Danko uses his knowledge of Sylar to get the drop on him, but instead of shooting him, he allows Sylar to talk him into accepting his help to find all the other Heroes, starting with the shapeshifter, whom they track down in a strip club -- in Danko's form, and despite my annoyance with any subplot involving Sylar, that was pretty cool. Danko ends up giving the shapeshifter to Sylar so he can steal his power, and if these two want to get married, I have no objection as long as they move somewhere far away to live in wedded bliss. Also, the shapeshifter was in Sylar's form when he died, so Danko uses the corpse to convince Bennet that Sylar is dead so the two of them can have sex on a bunch of Heroes' graves, or something. I only wish I could share Bennet's ignorance of the truth, because that would truly be bliss.
