While in his spirit walk, Hiro sees events of the past that pertain the Petrelli family, Sylar, Noah, and the Gordon siblings.

Petrelli

Pertaining to the Petrelli family, Hiro sees Nathan planning to prosecute Linderman, and Arthur, Nathan's father and Linderman's defense attorney, ordering Nathan to be killed in a car crash. He then sees Arthur refusing to attend Peter's graduation and chastising Peter's chosen profession. He sees also sees Nathan visiting Arthur, still dead set on his case and calling Linderman toxic for the Petrelli family, he sees Arthur's ordered car crash later that night, and Nathan flying out of harm's way. Later, Nathan is at the hospital, livid and threatening harm on Linderman and Arthur. Hiro sees Arthur adamantly denying his involvement in the crash.

At the Petrelli mansion, Linderman apologizes to Arthur, saying that he doesn't know how Nathan survived the crash. Linderman proposes to postpone their plans, but Arthur refuses. He offers to find a guy in Montreal to dispose of Nathan once and for all, but Angela overhears their conversation and is shocked. Angela runs away, grabs a kitchen knife, and threatens Arthur with it. Arthur uses telepathy and tries to command Angela to say that Nathan has to die. Angela is unrelenting at first, but is unable to resist Arthur's commands in the end.

In the present-day, Hiro sits up, still in a trance, and utters "Murder!" in Japanese. Ando tries to wake him up, but Usutu tells him not to. Ando says that they need to do something, and Usutu hands him some incense. Usutu says that something has disturbed Hiro's spirit walk and holds the fumes under Hiro's nose, causing him to fall back again.

At the Petrelli mansion, Angela is chopping some vegetables as Linderman comes in and remarks that her food smells good. She asks what’s on his mind and Linderman says that he has a shred of morality and can’t stand by while Arthur damages her mind. He offers to heal the scars of all the thoughts and memories that Arthur has tampered with, and warns that Arthur plans to kill Nathan. Linderman places his hands on Angela's shoulders and says that he can heal the scars, and tells Angela that she needs to make a choice between obedience and the truth. After a few moments of thought she moves Linderman's hands to her head, and Linderman proceeds to heal her memory loss.

Arthur is enjoying Angela’s family soup recipe and wonders why she seems far away. She asks if he’d know her without his power. The Haitian enters the dining room, neutralizing Arthur’s telepathy as he squirms uncomfortably. She asks him if he can tell if she’s going to kiss him or kill him.

Angela wonders when Arthur lost his soul and he refuses to apologize for his great plan. Arthur clutches at his stomach in pain and realizes that the soup is poisoned. He falls to the floor, dying. Angela tells the Haitian to incinerate Arthur’s body but their plans are stopped short when Nathan comes back home. He finds his father on the floor. Nathan assumes his father is having a heart attack and calls the EMTs.

Angela and Nathan wait at the hospital. Nathan wants to call Peter, but Angela insists that they wait until they have something to call him about. Finally, a doctor comes tells them Arthur is dead due to a heart attack. Angela asks for an immediate cremation and Livitz tells them to go home and get some rest so that they can deal with the paperwork in the morning. Livitz goes back into the Arthur's room. He tells Arthur, who is lying in a hospital bed, that it’s done. Arthur speaks to him telepathically, giving him instructions to find another body for the cremation. Livitz informs Arthur that the poison damaged his nervous system, and that the paralysis is permanent.

At the funeral, Nathan and Peter remember their family dog Izzy, and how it was the only thing that ever disobeyed Arthur. As they speak fondly of their father, Angela says that Arthur wasn't a god and they shouldn't idolize him: he was deeply flawed in ways they’ll never know.

Sylar

Pertaining to Sylar, Hiro sees Elle rescue Sylar from suicide and form a relationship with him in order to help the Company study him. He sees that Elle wanted to turn Sylar in, but her partner, Noah, instead followed company orders to only observe and document how Sylar takes the abilities of others. Hiro sees Noah document the death of Trevor Zeitlan.

Noah reports to his superiors saying they have wrapped up the mission and he has one more thing to deal with. Elle is still angry but Noah says they’ll be tracking him down one day. Elle feels Gabriel could have been saved but Noah insists that wasn’t the assignment and they follow orders. He sees a cab and leaves Elle, saying that his ride is here. He enters the cab after its previous occupant, Peter Petrelli, gets out. Mohinder is driving the cab and Noah tells him to proceed to JFK Airport.

Gordons

Six months after that event, Flint burns some popcorn packets in a convenience store while Meredith steals money from hostages on the floor. Flint notices one hostage still standing and orders him to get down. Meredith tries to tell him to stop, but Flint only further antagonizes the man. The man turns around, revealing himself to be Thompson, and tells Flint that he should have listened to his sister. Flint ignites his flames but Thompson sprays Flint with a fire extinguisher and threatens to tase Meredith. Flint, however, manages to escape.

In a company cell, Thompson talks about the crimes that Meredith has committed. He then says that the Company wants to train her to become an agent. Meredith initially refuses, but Thompson asks why she hates the company so much. Meredith only responds that she has her reasons. Thompson asks her to put her reasons aside and make a sensible decision or risk spending the rest of her life imprisoned. Meredith hesitates, asking Thompson to promise not to go after her brother. Thompson only gives her a choice between being an agent or a prisoner. Relenting, Meredith asks when she starts.

In Austin, Texas, Thompson and Meredith go to a shantytown and approach Danny Pine, a Vietnam veteran. Meredith asks if she should use her power but Thompson tells her it’s a training mission and she should wait for his orders. Thompson approaches Pine and identifies himself as a representative from the V.A. Pine wonders what happened to his previous V.A. representative and Meredith hastily steps in. Pine doesn’t believe them, turns his hand into solid metal, and knocks Thompson down. Meredith superheats his hand and takes Thompson’s taser, then stuns Pine. Impressed, Thompson welcomes her to the Company.

At Primatech, Thompson tells Meredith that she could become an agent in due time, as long as she proves her loyalty and can follow any orders without question. He tells her to put Pine in cell 9. Meredith obliges, but on the way, she sees her brother in a Company cell. She is confused, thinking that Flint got away, but he says that an "invisible man" tackled him in an alley and captured him. Flint says that the company's going to train him, just like they're doing to Meredith. Meredith is distressed, and Flint says that they'll be able to work together. Thompson comes and asks the two if there's a problem, and Meredith says no.

Back in the past, at Primatech, Meredith comes to Flint's cell and knocks on his window, then opens his cell door. She offers him a way to escape with her, but Flint doesn't want to because the company's being nice to him. Meredith reminds him that their father always told him that God gave him an older sister in lieu of brains.

Later, on a freight train filled with volatile substances, and Meredith says they'll probably have to hide in Mexico. Meredith warns Flint that he can never trust the Company. Thompson emerges from hiding and tasers Meredith unconscious. Flint thinks she’s dead and retreats. Once Thompson has gone after her brother, Meredith wakes up and goes after both of them. She calls out to Flint and Thompson turns back and goes after her. Flint approaches Thompson who prepares to taser him. Meredith struggles with him and Flint jumps off of the train. Thompson asks why Meredith had to screw it up, saying they could have given him a purpose but now Flint is their sworn enemy. Meredith fires a blast at him and runs past, while the cargo ignites. She and Thompson both jump clear of the train just before its contents explode.

Thompson and a captured Meredith watch as firemen arrive to deal with the train wreck. Meredith explains that 14 years ago the Company caught up to her and killed her baby daughter Claire. Realizing who Meredith’s daughter is, he frees Meredith and tells her to go before he changes his mind. As Meredith leaves, Claire approaches the burning train wreck below and rescues a fireman.
