In the patients' ward, Ando talks with Hiro and apologizes for misjudging him. Hiro manages to explain that Mohinder has been drugged to negate his strength. Ando tells Hiro that he'll take over, and then goes to the medication cart and replaces Mohinder's medication with aspirin. When the orderly catches him, Ando claims that he's work in a cart factory and was admiring the cart. The orderly, Buck, offers to shake hands and Ando hastily sneezes and puts the pill in his mouth to cover it up. As the orderly leaves, he slaps Ando on the back, causing him to swallow the sedative. After he takes the sedative, Hiro says that it's nap time for Sancho. Indeed, Ando passes out and is in an altered state for a short time thereafter. He appears both elated and dazed. A little while later, he regains his faculties and uses his supercharging without any trouble.
