Synopsis
Nathan and Claire fly down to Patzcuaro, Mexico and enter the Puerta al Cielo Motel, where a receptionist asks them how long will they be staying. Nathan hands him all of his money which is only enough for one night. The receptionist, eying Claire, tells Nathan that it could be different if they will be paying per hour. Nathan exclaims that he's her father, and storms out. Claire jokes to the receptionist that he's only her biological father.
Outside, Nathan tells Claire that because he was exposed, she no longer has the free pass he provided her with, and that Danko's jurisdiction doesn't apply to Mexico yet. When Claire asks about everyone else, Nathan says that he will make some calls and put some things in motion. When they enter the motel room, Nathan considers the fact that they have to eat too, and offers to buy Claire a taco, but she reminds him that they have no money left. Claire wants to go for a walk, but Nathan thinks it would be better if they stuck together- for her own safety. She promises to be careful, and he tells her to meet down at the cantina later.
In New York City, Peter and Angela land in a small puddle in the middle of an alley. She calls him her "very own guardian angel" and "a good son". Peter, still angry at Angela, walks hastily towards her and tells her that that was not why he saved her; he wants answers. She implies that she does not have them but Peter says she always knew more than she let on. Angela wincing, apologizes and tells him that she herself need some answers now and that's why she needed him to bring her there. It starts raining heavily and their discussion stops. Angela claims that this is where she is supposed to be. Then she heads for the cathedral.
In a house in Arlington, Virginia, we see the dead bodies of three agents and a team examining the scene of crime, including Noah checking over the corpses. Danko asks Agent Jenkins what happened, and he explains that himself and three agents- Whitman, Price and Holiday, were looking in to apprehend on James Martin; he watched the hallway while the three agents went in. He said he her three gunshots, and went in as fast as he could, only to see them dead. Jenkins also says that he didn't see anyone, and then throws up, apologizing. Danko sends him back to headquarters to get cleaned up.
After he leaves, Noah, examining the bodies, asks why they were after James Martin; Danko says that he set off the "red flag", and than his DNA was in the national database. He also says that they didn't know what his ability was. Noah lectures Danko on sending men in "blind", and that they need to know what abilities they're dealing with beforehand because each ability requires a different tactic. Danko argues back, saying that he was given orders to take everyone in, and reminds Noah that he was friends with Nathan, before he goes to his car.
Taking a deep breath, Danko closes his eyes and listens to the car radio, holding up a cigarette. Rain pounds on the car's windows, and all is calm until Sylar suddenly appears, saying "I love this song". He whistles the tune, and comments on the "bloodbath", later asking whether or not he received the "gifts" he left; the taxidermied bunny and the half-dead puppeteer. Sylar then explains that it's an "overture to their collaboration, since [they] both want the same thing"- to kill evolved humans. While Danko slowly reaches for a gun, Sylar offers his help in finding and killing James Martin. Sylar disappears just as Danko turns around to point the gun to his head. Confused, he turns back around, and drives off. Overhead, Sylar stands in the rain on a building, watching Danko's car drive off.
Memorable Quotes

"He's a better you than you."
- - Sylar (to Danko, when referring to James Martin in Danko's form)
"I was just like you, my head in the clouds... I was gonna be a teacher. Then my power manifested and the dreams came; visions of a bloody future of deceit and death, the Apocalypse."
- - Angela to Peter (Into Asylum)

Character Appearances
Trivia
- The transition to the "To Be Continued" was radically different from prior episodes. Particularly, the card was not accompanied by a distinct musical cue, instead revealed as the song from the previous scene, "We Gotta Get Out of This Place" by The Animals, played until black.
- The receptionist in the Puerta al Cielo Motel, says "siñor" instead of "señor". This occurs often between the sephardic jews living in the Spanish speaking contries. Therfore while this could most probably point out a sephardic origin of the speaker, it could also simply be a tongue twister.
