About

Four Months Later

Claire and her dad explore her new school. Claire has a run in with a Debbie, and is playfully teased by West. Mr. Bennet has a run in with his boss and is generally disgusted by his job. Later the whole family eats dinner in their new home. That night West hovers above Claire's window and then flies away over the suburbs of Costa Verde.

Lizards

Mr. Zern teaches about lizards and regeneration. West tries to encourage Claire to open up, but has no luck. Later, he watches as Claire pushes the limits of her ability. Meanwhile, the Haitian meets Noah at Copy Kingdom.

Kindred

West encourages Claire to admit that she's special. When she finally breaks down, West flies her over Costa Verde to a beach. They talk about their powers, joking about the merits of the other's power. They then kiss, and Claire discovers that West has a peculiar mark on his neck.

Notes

• Costa Verde, CA, does not actually exist. Additionally, this is the first fictional named city in the Heroes universe.
• In a question and answer session, Joe Pokaski and Aron Coleite said, "[Costa Verde's name] plays on [a] Joseph Campbell theme: Water. As a unifying agent that connects all cultures across the world. Costa Verde, or "The Green Coast" seemed to be a great city in that tradition."
• In his blog, Greg Beeman said that that the production staff imagines Costa Verde being very much like Palos Verdes, a beach town just south of Los Angeles.
