About

Seven Minutes to Midnight

Hiro and Ando eat at this diner during their "mission". A man at another table telekinetically pulls a mug towards him. He is wearing a broken watch — it is Sylar. Unbeknownst to the two men visiting from Tokyo, Sylar watches them and Charlie. Later, Charlie is found murdered in a back room, her head sliced open. Sylar is nowhere to be found.

Homecoming

Peter arrives expecting to meet Hiro and Ando, but is surprised when Hiro is no longer there. Ando discovers the picture of Hiro at Charlie's birthday party.

Six Months Ago

Hiro attempts to convince Charlie that he is from the future and trying to save her life. He uses his power to impress her, but later, in real time, Hiro tells Ando that he cannot use his power to change the past.

Fallout

After picking up Isaac at the bus depot, Ando and Hiro go back to the diner with the clairvoyant painter. As they sit at a booth, they discuss major events of their lives so far (including Hiro's trip to the future, Isaac's future brain removal, and the impending explosion). Isaac shows the two Japanese men a sketch that came true, depicting Hiro and Charlie talking together in the diner. Isaac then tells them about the painting of the exploding man.

The Fix

Claire and Zach come to the diner and use Zach's laptop to find information on Claire's biological parents. It is here that they learn of an apartment fire that occurred fourteen years earlier in Kermit, TX. Though the article claims that a woman, Meredith Gordon, and her 18-month-old daughter died in the fire, Claire and Zach hope that this could lead her to any relatives who may know of her biological father.

Graphic Novel:Road Kill

On October 10, 2006, Sylar comes to the diner. He watches Charlie greet Hiro and Ando. He then takes a menu from the waitress before stealing her power.
