Episode:Collision

Summary

The episode begins with Matt Parkman waking up in a bed in some kind of medical lab. In comes Mister Bennet. He's confused and thinks he's at a hospital initially or that it's part of some FBI or CIA operation, but it soon becomes apparent to him that he's in some kind of danger. Mister Bennet had Matt drugged at the bar the previous night. Mr. Bennet knows of Matt's powers and, glancing at a brainwave readout, muses that Matt is trying to read his thoughts. Apparently the man at the bar last night has some power to block telepathy and keeps Mr. Bennet safe... for the most part. As he's leaving Matt asks him about Claire and it becomes clear that his telepathy isn't being totally blocked. Mr. Bennet asks the man from the bar to erase his memories of what happened.

A mortician is performing an autopsy on Claire. Apparently she had been dumped naked in the river after having been killed the night before. The mortician removes the branch from her skull and the wound begins to heal. Before Claire regains consciousness, the mortician leaves the room to answer a phone call. Claire wakes up, adjusts her skin so it will heal, steals a lab coat, and manages to sneak out of the morgue.

Hiro and Ando arrive in Las Vegas and Ando wants to do some gambling. Eventually Hiro catches up with him to find he's lost all but one dollar of their money. The last dollar is bet on a game of roulette. Hiro stops time and places the ball so that Ando wins. He expresses guilt in having used his powers to for monetary gain, but Ando compares it to Peter Parker (of Spider Man) selling photos of Spider Man for money and Hiro seems to concede.

Hiro uses his power to manipulate Ando's cards while he plays poker, swapping his poor hand with his opponent's flush and winning. This comes back to hurt them, however, when they are thrown out of the casino and into the waiting arms of some thugs. Ando, speaking in English, claims that Hiro has super powers and can defeat them all. One of the thugs punches Hiro in the face knocking him to the ground.

Before leaving on a business trip Nathan is accosted in the street by Mohinder, who tries to confront him about the powers. Nathan immediately goes to Peter's house, angry that his brother would set "Dr. Suresh" onto him. Peter denies it, and the two argue, drawing the attention of Peter's house guest: Simone, who had just spent the night with Peter. Peter goes to the apartment of Dr. Suresh and meets Mohinder, where he confesses that he has a power. Mohinder is skeptical of Peter when he claims that his power is the mimicry of others, citing his flying with Nathan and his drawing of the future after meeting Isaac as examples. He offers to take Mohinder to meet Isaac and try to make his power work, but Isaac doesn't answer his door: he's high on heroin and his eyes are glazed over as he's painting a picture of Claire running from a large black being.

Peter is riding in a subway talking to Mohinder about super powers when suddenly time crawls to a stop. Peter, however, appears to be unaffected. He wanders the train for a bit in confusion. Eventually an unknown Japanese man can be seen in the back of the subway car. He approaches Peter and in well-spoken English informs Peter that his name is Hiro Nakamura and he is from the future. Hiro says he did not recognize Peter "without his scar" indicating that Peter should be involved in some sort of facial injury in the future.
