Synopsis
Noah examines "Sylar's" dead body. Danko enters and guarantees that Sylar is dead. Noah asks how he pulled it off, and Danko says it was a knife, which he replaced with a metal spike at the base of the skull. Noah recalls the glass shard that worked until it melted in the Primatech fire. Danko says it's funny how quickly he was able to come in and do the job—maybe HRG didn't want to catch Sylar after all. HRG says maybe Danko is just better than him. Then an assistant comes in and says Noah's wife is here. Danko smiles and says, "Send her up."
Hiro and Ando are driving a highway in Ohio, leaving messages for Matt to no avail. They want to unite the Matt Parkmans, and will then find the baby's mother. The baby starts to cry. The car stops and won't start, and they can't figure out why.
Mohinder tells Parkman he is going to India, and tells Matt to come with him. But Matt is going to get revenge on Danko for Daphne. He can't get over her death, and vows to hurt Danko, to make him feel what he's done. Mohinder tries to reason with Matt, but Matt tells Mohinder he's been a good friend, hugs him, and tells him goodbye.
Sandra waits for Noah in the hallway of Building 26. She tells him she won't sit home waiting for him to tell her where Claire is. He says Claire is safe, and the less Sandra knows, the better. Sandra doesn't believe anything he says anymore, and wants to see Claire. Noah changes the subject and tells her that there's a dead body, but he doesn't think it’s Sylar. Just then, Danko approaches. He introduces himself to Sandra, but she knows he's the guy who's been watching her house. "Nice meeting you", he says, and walks off. Noah begs her to go home, but Sandra says she’s staying in town until Noah finds Claire. She walks off.
Danko walks into the men's bathroom and locks the door. But it's not Danko, it's Sylar. The real Danko is inside. Sylar says he enjoys being Danko; he loves commanding respect. Danko warns him that this is not a game, and it's not about finding a clever way to kill Noah Bennet. Sylar says he's not going to kill Noah. He's going to destroy him.

| It is our nature to protect our children. For each generation to pass on their cautionary tales to the next. So it is with the myth of Icarus, the legend of a boy who fashioned wings from feathers and wax, daring to fly into the heavens. His father was fearful and warned Icarus to be careful. Begging him not to tempt fate by flying too close to the sun. But in the end, the boy couldn't resist. His waxen wings melted from the sun's rays. |
