Character History

I Am Become Death

With Molly's help, Matt is taking care of Daniella at the family's shared apartment. Matt and Daphne discuss her work with Pinehearst. Daphne wants Molly's help in finding Peter Petrelli, but Matt is reluctant to do so. He questions how many times Daphne has avoided serious injury or even death during missions. In the end, Matt agrees to allow Daphne to use Molly's ability in exchange that she agrees to settle down.

Later, Matt and Molly sit on the couch and watch the television, reporting the nuclear destruction of Costa Verde, CA, and the deaths of 200,000 people. Matt worries for Daphne's safety, and tells Molly to look after her sister when she begins to cry. Suddenly, a knock on the door is heard, and Matt opens the door to find Daphne. Daphne sways on the spot for a second and, saying "I wasn't fast enough", succumbs to the massive burns on her back and collapses into Matt's arms. Matt desperately tries to keep her alive but is powerless as his wife dies in his arms.
