After leaving Derek in Mexico, Gabriel, Alejandro and Maya make their way to the American border, but are ambushed by a [[Citizen's Border Patrol|border patrol]]. While the Border Patrol harasses the twins and Sylar, Alejandro and Sylar begin to yell at Maya, which upsets her. Her eyes turn black and the men fall down as Sylar holds Alejandro back from using [[Alejandro's ability|his ability]], allowing them to escape. Safely within the U.S., Alejandro and Sylar fight, and Maya separates the two. Maya tells her brother she had to do what she did because it was necessary. Alejandro calls her a killer, blaming Sylar. Alejandro then tells Maya that she needs to pick between him and Sylar. She tells him that she needs both of them. In [[Cook Lake, VA]], Sylar tries to get Maya to learn how to control her [[power]]. He starts to make Maya angry by telling her how much her brother, [[Alejandro]], hates her because Maya killed [[Gloria]] and Alejandro gave up his life for Maya. Even though Maya claims it was an accident, she gets emotional, and begins to [[Maya's ability|cry black tears]]. However, at Sylar's urging, Maya manages to take control of her ability.

After arriving in New York, Mohinder tells Maya that Sylar is a killer, but she admits that she has killed herself. When Sylar takes Mohinder at gunpoint, Mohinder tells Maya that Sylar is a "monster." Distressed, Maya's ability takes over, which affects Mohinder, Sylar, and [[Molly]]. Unwilling to kill the man who could cure her and an innocent girl, Maya controls her ability. Sylar forces them all to [[Isaac's loft|Mohinder's lab]] at gunpoint, making Maya and Molly sit down on a bed while Mohinder treats him. Maya tells Molly about her brother [[Alejandro]]. When Molly offers to [[clairvoyance|find]] him, she says that he "isn't anywhere," meaning that he is dead. Enraged, she tries to attack Sylar, only to be shot. To make sure that Mohinder's cure for the [[Shanti virus]] works, Sylar has Mohinder use [[rapid cell regeneration|Claire's blood]] on Maya, successfully reviving her. [[Elle]] attacks Sylar, causing him to flee. She shows frustration for not catching him, but Maya, Molly and Mohinder show their gratitude for saving their lives. |

As [[Mohinder]] opens the door to his apartment, Maya attacks him in fear he is [[Sylar]]. Realizing it's Mohinder, Maya begins to question if he will ever find a cure to rid her of [[Poison emission|her ability]]. He claims that there is no way to rid Maya of it, enraging her. Her power activates, starting to kill Mohinder, but she realizes what is happening and suppresses it. Questioning her about what happened, Mohinder realizes that powers are activated by adrenaline. He extracts some from her for examination. Later, after running some tests, he creates a serum that he believes will give [[abilities]] to non-powered humans. Frustrated with the results that opposed her wishes, Maya storms off, saying the serum should be destroyed. |
