[[Noah Bennet| |
[[Noah Bennet|Noah]] shows up at the [[Company]] facility for the sole purpose of recapturing the [[Level 5]] escapees. Angela can't let him be partners with [[the Haitian]] because he's on an assignment for her, so she introduces HRG to his new powered partner: Sylar. HRG is opposed to working with Sylar, especially since Sylar's recent attack on Claire, though Sylar rationalizes that since Claire can't die, she was never in any danger. Angela says Sylar is just misunderstood and needs some structure, and HRG gives in to working with him. |

The escapees from Level 5 decide to rob a [[First Federal Bank of New York|bank]]. [[Knox]], who feeds off people's fear, is the leader, while [[Flint]] (who [[Pyrokinesis|generates fire]]) and [[the German]] (who [[Magnetism|manipulates metal]]) are the muscle. That leaves [[Jesse]], the villain Peter is stuck inside. |

That leaves [[Jesse]], the villain [[Peter]] is stuck inside. |
||
After obtaining the money, the police show up and surround the bank. Knox then admits he called for the police, and that it was part of his plan to get the Company to arrive so he can exact revenge on the [[Noah Bennet|man with the horn-rimmed glasses]]. However, the German wants to take his share of the money and leave, so Knox kills him with a [[super strength|punch]] through his stomach and into a wall. |
|||
The police show up, which is Knox’s plan because he wants the Company to arrive so he can exact revenge on HRG, aided by the power he’s getting from the scared hostages. The plan works, as HRG and his new partner see the robbery on the news. Sylar and HRG, both in suits, arrive, but HRG tells Sylar to stand back and do nothing. Instead, Sylar takes charge by posing as an FBI agent. |
|||
Back at [[Primatech Research]], Angela, Noah and his new partner see the robbery on the news and it becomes Noah and Sylar's first [[List of Company missions|Company assignment]]. Sylar and Noah, both in suits, proceed to the police barricade outside the bank, and Noah tells Sylar to stand back and do nothing. Instead, Sylar takes charge by posing as FBI agent Andrew Hanson, and orders the cops to move back and fetch them some coffee. |
|||
Peter tries to talk Knox out of it, but Knox uses simple trickery to uncover that this guy isn’t the real Jesse. HRG enters and the hostages leave. Knox has him pinned down, but Peter gets upset and yells, revealing Jesse’s power is a super sonic scream. |
|||
Inside the bank, Peter tries to talk Knox out of it, but Knox uses his knowledge of [[Jesse]] to uncover that he is an imposter, beats up Peter with Flint's help, and then throws him across the room. Noah then enters the bank and the hostages leave behind him. Knox pins down Noah, but then Peter gets upset and yells, crashing Knox and Flint into the wall with [[sound manipulation|his ability]]. |
|||
Emboldened, he yells and knocks everyone down, but time freezes because Future Peter has arrived. He walks up to Jesse and pushes regular Peter out. Future Peter teleports Regular Peter away, leaving HRG stuck with the real Jesse. Sylar arrives just in time for the new partners to neutralize the Level 5 Four. Sylar locks HRG out of the bank and, though HRG tries to talk him down, Sylar can’t fight his killer hunger, so he performs some quick brain surgery on Jesse. They return to the Company, and while Angela still thinks there’s hope for Sylar, HRG tells the Haitian he’s sticking around just long enough to learn Sylar's weakness, then kill him. |
|||
Just then, [[time-space manipulation|time freezes]] as [[Peter Petrelli (Exposed Future)|Future Peter]] has arrived. He walks up behind Jesse and pushes present day Peter out of Jesse's body. Future Peter then teleports away with the present day self, allowing time to resume. The real Jesse then takes control of his body and prepares to attack Noah. However, Sylar arrives just in time to stop him and Knox in their tracks with [[telekinesis]]. Flint tries to attack Sylar but Noah pulls out his gun and shoots him. Noah then takes Flint outside for medical attention and arrange transport, expecting Sylar to keep the other two in check. But Sylar locks Noah out of the bank as soon as he and Flint exit the building. Noah tries to talk him down, but Sylar can't fight his killer hunger, so he focuses on taking Jesse's ability. Knox seizes this opportunity to escape and flees out the back of the bank. |

Hiro tracks Daphne to Berlin. She tells him the first half of the Formula has already been delivered, and she’s at the theater to intercept the second half. Hiro wonders how his nemesis can be so overly confident that she’ll tell him her plan. “You’re 0 for 2 against me, Pikachu” Daphne explains. “That’s just regular confidence.” Suddenly she slows down, but Hiro’s powers are also gone. Hiro sees the Haitian holding a briefcase and recognizes him from the future, giving him an advantage over Daphne. |
|||
Hiro and Ando teleport to outside a movie theater in [[Berlin, Germany]], where they expect Daphne to show up based on their tracking. She arrives and tells him she has delivered the first half of the [[formula]], and that she's at the theater to intercept the second half. Daphne then tries to [[super speed|run super fast]] into the threater, but ends up just jogging. Hiro finds out that his powers are also gone when he can't stop time. Hiro sees the Haitian holding a briefcase and recognizes him from the future, giving him and Ando an advantage over Daphne. |
|||
Inside the theater where the exchange is supposed to take place, Daphne interrupts and tries to turn Ando against Hiro, which Hiro describes as “Villainy 101.” She tells them she’s just doing this because some guy is paying her. The Haitian meets up with a woman and explains Angela wants her half of the Formula closer to home due to the recent events. |

Daphne interrupts their plotting, and tells them she's just doing this because some guy is paying her. She tries to turn Ando against Hiro, but fails to do so and appears to leave. After the film is finished, the Haitian meets up with a woman and explains that Angela wants her half of the formula closer to home due to recent events. He takes the formula, places it in his briefcase, and prepares to leave. |

Hiro and Ando hatch a plan where Ando is supposed to play an usher, but instead Ando hits the Haitian over the head and knocks him out. Ando expresses a reluctance to continue playing the "sidekick" to Hiro, reflecting the doubts Daphne had just been trying to exploit. While the Haitian is knocked out, Hiro grabs the briefcase but Daphne speeds by and swaps it out of his hands for a bag of popcorn. Hiro tries to stop time, but the Haitian is awake again, upset, and standing right behind them. |

Synopsis
Angela Petrelli speaks affectionately with Sylar, who has just learned that she is his birth mother. She presents him with a girl named Bridget, with the ability to see an object's entire past, and allows Sylar to kill her to take her ability.
Noah shows up at the Company facility for the sole purpose of recapturing the Level 5 escapees. Angela can't let him be partners with the Haitian because he's on an assignment for her, so she introduces HRG to his new powered partner: Sylar. HRG is opposed to working with Sylar, especially since Sylar's recent attack on Claire, though Sylar rationalizes that since Claire can't die, she was never in any danger. Angela says Sylar is just misunderstood and needs some structure, and HRG gives in to working with him.
The escapees from Level 5 decide to rob a bank. Knox, who feeds off people's fear, is the leader, while Flint (who generates fire) and the German (who manipulates metal) are the muscle. That leaves Jesse, the villain Peter is stuck inside.
After obtaining the money, the police show up and surround the bank. Knox then admits he called for the police, and that it was part of his plan to get the Company to arrive so he can exact revenge on the man with the horn-rimmed glasses. However, the German wants to take his share of the money and leave, so Knox kills him with a punch through his stomach and into a wall.
Back at Primatech Research, Angela, Noah and his new partner see the robbery on the news and it becomes Noah and Sylar's first Company assignment. Sylar and Noah, both in suits, proceed to the police barricade outside the bank, and Noah tells Sylar to stand back and do nothing. Instead, Sylar takes charge by posing as FBI agent Andrew Hanson, and orders the cops to move back and fetch them some coffee.
Inside the bank, Peter tries to talk Knox out of it, but Knox uses his knowledge of Jesse to uncover that he is an imposter, beats up Peter with Flint's help, and then throws him across the room. Noah then enters the bank and the hostages leave behind him. Knox pins down Noah, but then Peter gets upset and yells, crashing Knox and Flint into the wall with his ability.
Just then, time freezes as Future Peter has arrived. He walks up behind Jesse and pushes present day Peter out of Jesse's body. Future Peter then teleports away with the present day self, allowing time to resume. The real Jesse then takes control of his body and prepares to attack Noah. However, Sylar arrives just in time to stop him and Knox in their tracks with telekinesis. Flint tries to attack Sylar but Noah pulls out his gun and shoots him. Noah then takes Flint outside for medical attention and arrange transport, expecting Sylar to keep the other two in check. But Sylar locks Noah out of the bank as soon as he and Flint exit the building. Noah tries to talk him down, but Sylar can't fight his killer hunger, so he focuses on taking Jesse's ability. Knox seizes this opportunity to escape and flees out the back of the bank.
Hiro and Ando teleport to outside a movie theater in Berlin, Germany, where they expect Daphne to show up based on their tracking. She arrives and tells him she has delivered the first half of the formula, and that she's at the theater to intercept the second half. Daphne then tries to run super fast into the threater, but ends up just jogging. Hiro finds out that his powers are also gone when he can't stop time. Hiro sees the Haitian holding a briefcase and recognizes him from the future, giving him and Ando an advantage over Daphne.

Daphne interrupts their plotting, and tells them she's just doing this because some guy is paying her. She tries to turn Ando against Hiro, but fails to do so and appears to leave. After the film is finished, the Haitian meets up with a woman and explains that Angela wants her half of the formula closer to home due to recent events. He takes the formula, places it in his briefcase, and prepares to leave.
Hiro and Ando hatch a plan where Ando is supposed to play an usher, but instead Ando hits the Haitian over the head and knocks him out. Ando expresses a reluctance to continue playing the "sidekick" to Hiro, reflecting the doubts Daphne had just been trying to exploit. While the Haitian is knocked out, Hiro grabs the briefcase but Daphne speeds by and swaps it out of his hands for a bag of popcorn. Hiro tries to stop time, but the Haitian is awake again, upset, and standing right behind them.
Noah and Sylar return to Primatech Research only with Flint. As they lead Flint to a Level 5 cell next to one containing Hiro and Ando, Sylar comments to Angela that it looks like he proved her wrong. But Angela says she still thinks there's hope for Sylar. Later, Noah tells the Haitian he's sticking around just long enough to learn Sylar's weakness, then kill him.
Matt Parkman is still in Africa, getting a lesson in spirit journeys from his guide, Usutu, who paints the future. Parkman sees many paintings showing scenes from his life that have already happened, as well as one that has not yet come to pass: a happy scene in which Matt and a blonde woman are holding a baby. However, Usutu says that painting no longer depicts the future and replaces it with a new picture. In the new picture, Matt is crying and holding the blonde woman's dead body. Later, Matt has entered Usutu's desert dwelling, and obtained tribal markings on his face. He eats a bowl of unknown contents, and claims that nothing's happening. Usutu then gives Matt his music to listen to, and Matt seems to fall asleep. However, his eyes suddenly jolt open and they are white.
At the Bennet house, Claire's two mothers Sandra and Meredith face off on how best to raise their mutual daughter. Meredith agrees to let Claire skip school that day in order to train her to fight. Meredith drags her daughter into an empty storage container and the lesson begins by setting it all on fire, sucking the oxygen out of the room. Claire begs her to stop, but Meredith persists until Claire confesses she wants to learn to fight not to help people, but to hurt Sylar.
Nathan shows up at Tracy’s place wondering why she missed his swearing-in ceremony as the junior senator from New York. She’s still disturbed by her newly discovered icy powers and her connection to Niki Sanders. Tracy has an address in New Orleans, so she goes to figure it out. Once there, Tracy visits a funeral home and opens a casket to see a dead Niki inside.
She runs into Micah, who instantly recognizes that Tracy is not his mother. Micah and Tracy talk about their powers, and Micah uses his ability to talk to machines to search the Internet and learn that Tracy and Niki were born on the same day in the same hospital, both delivered by the same man, Dr. Zimmerman. She tracks him down in California, and learns that not only does he know her, but he created her.
| And as the search for self continues, we look for answers everywhere. In nature, in God, in tiny tragedies that may never be understood. But still, we are driven to it, single-minded on one goal: to find our purpose on this earth. No matter what the ramifications, the friendships that may be hurt, or the deals with the devil we need to make. |
