About
Don't Look Back
The cheerleading squad of Union Wells is questioned by the police, who are looking for the girl who saved a man from a recent train wreck. Claire keeps silent, as Jackie says it was her. Later, Claire and Zach walk across the football field. Zach tells Claire that her tape is missing. She is then tackled by Brody Mitchum, which breaks her neck. Before anyone sees this except Zach, Claire realigns her neck, healing it instantly.
One Giant Leap
Mr. Bennet drops Claire off at the high school. Later, by the lockers, Zach asks Claire about the missing tape. Claire says she just wants to be normal.
Collision
The day after the bonfire, Zach suggests that Claire tell someone about Brody's rape attempt. Claire declines, saying there are no marks and no one would believe her. Later, Lori Tremmel comes up to Claire, asking what happened last night and saying she isn't the first girl Brody has taken advantage of. After school, Claire asks Brody for a ride home.
Seven Minutes to Midnight
Claire meets Mr. Bennet at the paper factory, asking for large paper to make a banner for the school.
Homecoming
Although, according to Jackie, she crippled the school's star quarterback, Claire is named homecoming queen by the votes of the unpopular students and Zach's campaigning. Later, at her locker, Zach gives Claire a copy of Activating Evolution and when Jackie teases Zach about his sexuality, Claire decks her.
That night, Peter is looking at a trophy case which talks about Jackie's heroism. Claire runs into him and they have a conversation. Claire enters the locker room, where she meets Jackie and the others cheerleaders who are preparing for the homecoming game. Jackie and Claire get into an argument, when the lights are turned off. Claire senses danger and tries to escape with Jackie, but Sylar finds them, throwing Claire against a wall and starts to remove Jackie's brain. As Claire regenerates, Sylar realizes his mistake and leaves Jackie to die. Claire runs into Peter in the hallway, where he helps her escape. He ultimately falls with Sylar, to his apparent death. At the stadium, a frantic Claire runs into Mr. Bennet. Peter is arrested by the police outside the school.
Fallout
Matt and Audrey investigate Jackie's murder scene. Later, Hiro and Ando visit the school and, upon seeing the scene, realize they didn't save the cheerleader.
Claire meets up with Zach at the football field and destroys her tape. Later, Claire meets up with Zach, finding that his memory has been altered.
Godsend
Union Wells reopens for the first time since the Homecoming Dance. There is a memorial to Jackie near the lockers. Claire attempts to befriend Zach again.
Distractions
Claire and Zach convince Mrs. Bennet to let them skip school to visit an aquarium to research the manatee, a cover to meet Claire's birthmom.
Notes
- There is no school called "Union Wells High School" in Odessa.
- The wildcat mascot of Union Wells may be related to the panther mascot of the very real Permian High School in Odessa, TX.
Trivia
- In promotional images and in Genesis, Claire's cheerleading uniform bears a Trojans mascot, not the Wildcats mascot. In an interview, Joe Pokaski and Aron Coleite mentioned the change was made to match the real-world mascot of the school which is used as the filming location for Union Wells.
