About
The Fix
Peter tells Claude that he needs to learn to control his power like Claude does. Claude tells him it can't be controlled. Peter insists saying that if he doesn't learn to control it then he will explode and destroy New York City. He tells Claude that he feels he met him for a reason: so he could teach him how to stop him from exploding. Claude claims that there's no way to control the powers. Peter tells him that there must be something he can do and Claude offers to kill him and solve his problem. He leaves and tells Peter not to try to find him.
Distractions
Simone is upset when she sees an unfinished painting of her father's rooftop overlooking a seemingly post-apocalyptic New York City. She fulfills another prophetic painting when she visits Isaac on the rooftop, where he laments that the city he has grown to love is going to be destroyed, and there's nothing he can do to stop it. Simone tells him that he wouldn't have been given his power if there were nothing he could do. Claude and Peter watch the two embrace, and Claude attempts to make Peter realize his power by pushing Peter off the rooftop.
Unexpected
On the roof, Claude teaches Peter to call up and control his absorbed powers. In Isaac's studio, Mr. Bennet names the Deveaux building when referring to a painting with the characteristic Baroque designs. He and the Haitian go to the roof and use thermal imaging goggles to find the invisible Peter and Claude feeding pigeons. They shoot tasers at the two men, but Peter stops time, cancels the momentum of the taser bolts and then unexpectedly flies away, saving Claude.

On the roof, Mr. Bennet is instructed by Kaito Nakamura that he will be the surrogate father of Claire, whom they found while trying to find the "firestarter". Claude wishes Bennet "Happy Fathers' Day" in Japanese.

Later, he listens to his mother speak with Charles about the impending explosion and about who should save the world. After Angela leaves, Charles tells Peter that he knows he's there.

Kaito tells Hiro that is his fate then, but Hiro refuses to listen, saying that he will show him that he felt this way once, teleporting him and Kaito back in time.

Memorable Quotes
"There's something about this roof."
"You and I spent a lot of time up here."

Notes
- Charles's building's street address is 210 (One Giant Leap). The street (assuming Charles Deveaux's apartment is in the same building) is Central Park West (Nothing to Hide). This address is clearly fictitious, as it would place the building in Theodore Roosevelt Park, adjacent to the American Museum of Natural History.[1]
- Claude Rains cares for birds on the rooftop. It is unclear whether his residence is here or elsewhere.
- The set for the rooftop is located on Stage 7 in the Heroes studio, and it is completely surrounded by blue screen.
- In the photo of the group of 12 founders of the Company, there are no angel statues on the right hand side of the circular statue, even though in other episodes, it is on both sides.
Trivia
- According to Peter, the rooftop is 30 stories off the ground.
