About

Collision

Hiro and Ando arrive in Las Vegas, and Ando's attention is quickly caught by the Montecito Casino; he wants to go gambling. Niki and Micah are at the same casino, and are escorted upstairs to visit Miss Sakamoto concerning the money Niki owes Linderman. She's told that he will forgive her debt if she does a "favor" for him.

Nathan bumps into Niki. They start to hit it off, and eventually end up talking in Nathan's room. While talking, Niki tells Nathan that her husband is a criminal and ran off. She also tells Nathan about her son. Nathan tells Niki that he has a wife and kids. Nathan kisses her, but she tells him she "can't", and she ends up amicably leaving.

As Niki is waiting for the elevator, Jessica takes control. When the doors open, one of Mr. Linderman's thugs grabs her and assaults her for not doing what she was sent to do. The henchman tries to threaten her son, but Jessica retaliates. She stongarms Linderman's lackey, and heads back to Nathan's room. As she strips down for him, The Symbol can be seen on her right shoulder blade, clearly caught on tape.

Eventually Hiro catches up with Ando to find he's lost all but one dollar of their money. The last dollar is bet on a game of roulette, 26 black. Hiro tries to withdraw the bet, but the roulette dealer stops him. Hiro stops time and places the ball so that Ando will win. Hiro also uses his power to manipulate Ando's cards while he plays poker, swapping his poor hand with his opponent's flush, and winning. Later, they're met by men who throw them out of the casino and into the waiting arms of some thugs they cheated in poker. One of the thugs knocks Hiro to the ground after an accidentally offensive comment from Ando. Ando is left alone and scared.

As Niki and Nathan sleep fastly in bed together, Mr. Bennet approaches. He tells The Haitian to "just take the one."

Hiros

After being forcefully removed from the hotel, Hiro and Ando return to retrieve their rental car. After apologizing to one another for their previous argument, they phone Peter Petrelli from the parking garage.

Better Halves

Before they can leave, Hiro and Ando are abducted by the high roller. After escaping, they once again return to the parking garage, and finally leave Las Vegas eastward bound.
