Peter shows Simons’s dieing father Charles that he can fly…but this is only in a dream. When he awakens, a distraught Simone is at his door to tell him that his father has died.
Zach tells Claire that, strangely, he has found her implicating tape under his bed, even though he had checked there before. He leaves in a hurry, and the tape ends up in the hands of Claire’s little brother Lyle. Lyle views the tape, staples Claire’s hand to see if she really is a freak, and watches the wound heal instantaneously. Lyle takes the tape and seeks solace in the family car, but Claire is able to convince him to keep her secret and keep the family together.
Niki awakens to find Micah gone, abducted by D.L. She faces the mirror and, for the first time, willingly asks her double for help.
Matt is about to tell Janice that he has the ability to read minds, but just as he is about to say it, he reads that she has a secret from him. It sounds like perhaps she has been having an affair. Caught off guard, he decides not to tell him.
Simone tells Peter that the missing painting that he requires was sold to a Mr Linderman from Las Vegas.
Nathan initially says no to an opportunity for some free publicity involving his family and his wheelchair-bound wife, but mom and wife convince him that he needs the poll boost. Peter shows up unexpectedly at the brunch, asking Nathan (in private) to contact Linderman and get the painting, then threatening to fly off the terrace in front of the reporter. The reporter confronts Nathan with the rumor that he went missing for a few hours and a blonde was involved, but Peter jumps in, saying that Nathan visited a clinic where he was being treated and spoke personally with a woman doctor about his case.
Matt is pulled out of the locker room by Audrey. Sylar has killed again and the FBI needs Matt’s mind-reading ability. A fingerprint on Sylar’s latest victim leads to the person who committed the murder: Ted Sprague (Matthew John Armstrong). Audrey and Matt go directly to the suspect’s house, but all they find are pictures with faces burned off, and lots of radiation. Matt doesn’t think Sylar lives at this house. Evidence is that the suspect’s wife was being treated by the doctor who was Sylar’s last victim. At the hospital, Matt is able to talk the man down. He is irradiated, and did kill the doctor, but he is not Sylar. Matt is able to hear his comatose wife thoughts and last words; she passes away while Matt and Audrey are standing there. Sprague might be another superhero.
Micah isn’t happy about being with D.L. and wants to go home. Niki discusses her double with Tina. Micah and D.L. reach a car wreck in the desert; a woman is trapped inside. Hiro and Ando show up a little later. D.L. reaches through the window and frees the woman, but is about the be engulfed in flames when Hiro stops time and pushes them to safety. Ando has called the police to aid the injured, so D.L. and Micah must go quickly.
Niki calls Nathan to ask for help, but with his wife in the same room, he hangs up on her. Nathan assures his wife that the story of him at the Vegas clinic is true.
With nowhere else to turn, Niki invokes her other half, ‘Jessica’.
Matt finally returns Janice’s calls, and leaves a message saying that he feels there is a secret between them. She is there, listening to the message, but doesn’t pick up the phone. Back at the station, he ‘hears’ his supposed buddy say that he is sleeping with his wife, so he punches him.
Nathan arranges for Linderman to send the painting back to Simone’s gallery, and then tells Peter that Linderman wouldn’t part with it. He also tells the story of his attempted abductions, and warns Peter to be careful.
Micah uses his heretofore unrevealed powers to call Jessica on an out-of-order pay phone to tell her where he is. He also shows that he knows the difference between Niki and Jessica. Jessica loads a round into her gun and prepares to head out.
Comments
Up to now, I wasn’t sure that D.L. was a superhero. He is another example of a character who is a shade of gray. He’s not a saint, but he has redeeming qualities. And up to now, I had no idea that Micah was a superhero.
Nits
Did I miss a scene or something? Matt went from passing out at a convenience store to being back inside his house, and I have no idea how he got there.
Memorable Moments
-
Hiro stopping the explosion (this whole scene was great, because initially I thought it was a trick by law enforcement to trap D.L.)
-
D.L. finds Micah talking on the out of order phone, and says, "You talking to your mom?" "No", says Micah, and he is telling the truth, because now he knows the difference between Niki and Jessica
Quotable Quotes

Claire: Just give me the damn tape!
Lyle: I’m gonna put this thing on YouTube and make like a million bucks!
Zach: YouTube’s free, you idiot.
