Our Father
The soldiers fall into formation as Nathan and Tracy enter their room in Pinehearst. Nathan pulls Scott out of the group and talks to him. Later, Scott is given the formula by Mohinder and develops enhanced strength.
Webisode:The Recruit, Part 1
One recruit, Rachel Mills, is interrogated by Angela Petrelli at a Primatech facility in Tappen, NJ. Angela asks her for the location of the formula and Rachel claims not to know. Twelve hours earlier, Rachel was talking with Ryan Hanover and David Sullivan at Pinehearst Headquarters when an explosion occurs. David and Rachel no longer know where Ryan is and David is pinned underneath a concrete beam. Rachel tries to help free David, but cannot do so and then teleports out of the path of a collapsing air duct. He asks how she did that, and she responds "It was nothing."
Graphic Novel:Stuck in the Middle
Ryan writes a letter for his mother in a storage closet in Pinehearst Headquarters. When he finishes writing, Ryan spots Rachel Mills taking a shower through a crack in the wall and overhears Tracy and Nathan talking about the formula through a vent. To hear better, Ryan gets closer to the vent by standing on three boxes of Johnny Luck cleaning supplies. However, he loses his balance, collapses on the floor and runs out of the closet, leaving his signed letter behind. Ryan walks passed the showers and denies hearing anything when Rachel asks him about the noise. Tracy and Nathan dismiss the the noise and discuss whether any of the recruits might decide to shoot up some of the non-catalyzed version of the serum that Pinehearst has laying around.

After tending to David Sullivan's wound, Rachel Mills looks up in time to see Ryan Hanover clutching two vials of the synthetic formula. When Rachel asks where the third one is, Ryan confirms he injected himself after overhearing Tracy Strauss referring to it as a super soldier serum, in the hopes of healing from a large open wound across his stomach. When David collapses, Rachel quickly steals a dose from Ryan. As she injects David, Ryan shoots her in the shoulder. In the final shot, David is seen developing some kind of ability.

Inside the warehouse is a platoon of military soldiers dressed in fatigues, standing at attention.
