Official NBC Press Release

THE WORLD BECOMES A BIT SMALLER FOR A HANDFUL OF ORDINARY MEN AND WOMEN WITH UNCANNY ABILITIES

Suresh finally tracks down one of his father's fabled genetically advanced "supermen." In Las Vegas, Hiro's plan backfires when he cautiously turns time to his advantage at the gambling tables. Niki's mafia debtors use their leverage to their benefit in a more elaborate scheme, while Nathan pays a personal visit to a wealthy Vegas contributor to raise additional campaign funds. Following a tragic turn at a bonfire, Claire's uncanny healing abilities are put to the ultimate test, but according to Isaac's paintings, her future could be fraught with even more peril. Meanwhile, Matt's abilities are gauged by a pair of men who seem to know a great deal about people with special gifts.

Episode Recap

Matt Parkman has been captured by HRG and the mysterious man. HRG confesses to drugging Matt and tells him that they are testing his Resting Rate. HRG directs the mysterious man to “Go deep, clean him out!”

Hiro and Ando arrive in Las Vegas and are ensnared by the sound and lights. Niki and Micah pass Hiro and Ando in the casino on their way to see Linderman. Linderman, it seems, will rescind Niki’s debt if she will only keep Nathan busy.

Claire awakes in the morgue in the middle of her own autopsy but finds a way to escape. Isaac contemplates his gift while Peter and Simone “come together.” Nathan is confronted by Mohinder Suresh but calls his body guards to take him away. Nathan tells Peter that he was contacted by Suresh and that he should make himself scarce for awhile.

Claire lies to her “father” (HRG) about what she was doing with Brody. Mohinder receives a box that contains the ashes of his father. Hiro uses his powers to cheat and make some cash at the casino. Peter finds Mohinder and Eden and tells them that he thinks his power is that he can use others powers when he is in their vicinity!

Isaac tells Simone that he is going to be a hero. Zach and Claire have a discussion in which Zach thinks Claire can be “rebooted.” His pet name for her now is “Little miss miracle grow!” Niki meets Nathan in the bar at the casino which has been staged.

We learn during a discussion between Peter and Mohinder that Mohinder believes in his fathers work and that he too is a geneticist. We also find out that Lori Trammel was also raped by Brody Mitchell. Isaac shoots up and sees Claire running from Uluru sometime near Homecoming. Hiro and Ando are thrown out of the casino and Hiro is punched.

Nathan and Niki spend some time together but when the moment comes Niki says she can’t and Nathan understands. On her way out Niki is assaulted by one of Linderman’s stooges but Niki2 come to the front and throws him around the elevator. She gives him warning and then goes back to Nathan’s hotel room to finish what Niki1 started.

While Peter and Mohinder return from an unsuccessful visit to Isaacs apartment Peter finds that time has stopped and that he alone seems not to be effected. Claire meets Brody after school and asks him for a ride home. She then asks to drive. During a conversation in which Brody admits to raping Lori and Claire, Claire drives the car at high speed into a wall.

HRG and the mysterious man end up in Nathan’s hotel room standing over a sleeping Nathan and Niki. HRG tells the mysterious man to take just the one. Peter is met by a very confident and self-possessed future Hiro who tells him that he has a message for him.
