About

Genesis

Simone Deveaux arrives at Isaac's loft to discover him destroying his latest paintings. He tells her he is using heroin again and that the paintings he completes when high are detailing future events. Later, Simone returns with Peter Petrelli to discover Isaac has overdosed after painting an enormous image of an explosion on the floor.

Don't Look Back

Isaac recovers in his loft. In the future timeline, Hiro Nakamura arrives at the loft, following the address he found in Issue #14 of 9th Wonders!. The studio is now filled with paintings of The Symbol. Hiro finds Isaac murdered and brainless. An NYPD detective and his interpreter find Hiro at the crime scene and question him, but are interrupted by a ruckus outside.

Collision

Peter Petrelli and Mohinder Suresh try to visit Isaac in his loft, but he's in a precognitive trance, painting images of Claire Bennet, Hiro and Ando, and Peter.

Hiros

Isaac and Peter work together in the studio to uncover the clues in Isaac's latest paintings. Peter duplicates Isaac's powers to complete a painting which shows Claire murdered by Sylar. When Hiro calls to warn Isaac about the future, Peter delivers the message he received from Hiro's future self.

Better Halves

Working with Isaac to discover the identity of the cheerleader, Peter realizes the latest paintings form a narrative panel like a comic book. There is one missing painting, and Isaac tells Peter Simone took a painting about that size to sell.

Nothing to Hide

Seven Minutes to Midnight

Peter and Simone arrive at Isaac's loft to tell him about Charles Deveaux's death, but they find it emptied out and abandoned.

Homecoming

Nathan and Simone open the missing painting at Isaac's loft. Hoping to protect Peter, Nathan destroys it by splashing it with black paint. Simone later invites Peter to the loft and shows him the ruined painting, as well as a digital image which accompanied it.

Godsend

Simone takes Nathan to Isaac's loft to meet Isaac. Isaac's paintings are back, as is Isaac. Nathan is questioning Isaac about the paintings when Hiro and Ando arrive. Hiro explains that he needs the sword he's seen wielding in Isaac's latest painting, and Simone says she can take him to see Linderman.

Unexpected

After being called by Isaac, Mr. Bennet and the Haitian arrive at the studio and discuss the search for Peter, and Mr. Bennet gives Isaac a gun. Later, Simone comes asking him where to find Peter, and tries to return her loft key; Isaac refuses to take it back, reasoning that Simone should keep it. Peter later shows up at Isaac's loft, and a fight ensues. Isaac shoots blindly and hits Simone, who holds the key key to the loft.

Parasite

Simone, dead from her wounds, is placed onto a bed by Peter. Isaac takes up his efforts to kill Peter again, but fails. The NYPD later investigates Simone's absence and the gun shots several neighbor's heard, but Candice Willmer, using her power, arrives in the guise of Simone, warding off the police. Isaac is haunted, and begs to leave with Mr. Bennet, but is left behind. Later, overwhelmed by Simone's death, Isaac starts using heroin again, but ends up painting a series of paintings that predict him dead with his head cut off.

.07%

The courier fanboy picks up the last issue of 9th Wonders! from Isaac. Later, Isaac paints Sylar arriving, which happens immediately. Sylar telekinetically pins Isaac to the floor with his paintbrushes, and takes his brain out. Sylar tests his new power of prophecy by painting a crude picture of Nathan in the Oval Office.

Hiro and Ando, 5 years in the future, visit the loft looking for Isaac, and instead find Future Hiro and an intricate string web.

Graphic Novel:String Theory

Five years in the future, Future Hiro organizes articles and paper scraps on a string web in Isaac's loft, trying to find a way to change the past and prevent the explosion. After returning from his attempt to change the past, he finds Ando and Hiro there. They have a standoff, with swords and guns drawn.

Five Years Gone

After Future Hiro talks to Hiro and Ando, Matt and his team break in, capturing Hiro. Future Hiro and Ando escape, teleporting to Las Vegas. Later, Mohinder investigates the string web while waiting on Matt. He explains the principle behind it, and remembers Peter's encounter on the subway in the past, and leaves the loft, taking the 9th Wonders! with him. Nathan comes to the loft to meet with Matt and Mohinder, where they discuss plans.

The Hard Part

Still in the loft, Sylar paints a painting of him about to kill Ted and take his power. When he realizes he's the cause of the explosion, he calls Mohinder. When Sylar hears him dialing 911, Sylar hangs up. He then calls his mother and asks to come over. As he combs his hair in Isaac's bathroom, Hiro and Ando come over and see Isaac's dead body. When they hear the water running, they hide behind Sylar's painting. Sylar comes out and, hearing Ando's heartbeat, telekinetically flings the painting aside. Hiro and Ando teleport away. Sylar goes out of the loft.

Landslide

After meeting Sylar, Ando and Hiro wonder about their mission to save the world now that the sword is broken. Ando runs over to Isaac's counter to find a Yellow Pages, where he finds a listing for a repair shop. They use Isaac's phone to call Jittetsu Arms. Isaac's body lays in the next room, similar to where Hiro found him in the future.

Later, Matt arrives at Isaac's loft looking to kill Sylar, but Matt realizes that he isn't there. Matt sees Sylar's painting and heads for Kirby Plaza.

Kindred
