It's Mr Bennet backstory time! What you need to know from the past: Eric Roberts is Bennet's boss. We don't learn much about him, but if he's played by Eric Roberts, you don't want to mess with him. Bennet didn't adopt Claire willingly, either. He was ordered to by... Hiro's dad. While Hiro played with a Gameboy nearby. He was also ordered not to get too close to Claire, because, as Hiro's dad says, if she starts to manifest, they'll take her back.
Claude used to be Bennet's partner. Bennet was supposed to kill him, because Claude was protecting a Hero, which is against company policy. Bennet probably would have skipped shooting Claude if Claude had told him who it was, but Claude didn't, so Bennet pumps a few rounds into him, but Claude becomes invisible before Bennet can confirm the kill.
We also meet a teenage Haitian, whose necklace is a silver version of Jessica's tattoo.
Back in the present, Sprague and Parkman hold the Bennet family hostage. Parkman is trying to get to the truth by reading people's minds, and also trying to keep Sprague from going all fusion-vengeance on the household. Claire is still angry at her father and opens her mind up to Parkman to get back at him. After some Mexican-standoff misdirection that gets Claire shot and reveals her secret to her mother (again), Eric Roberts shows up in the present day to manage the situation.
His idea of 'managing' is to shoot at Ted. Ted gets so angry that he goes nuclear and can't stop his own chain reaction, and Claire's the only one who can get close enough to him to administer a tranquiliser. Everyone winds up with mild radiation burns and the Bennet house looks like it's burning to the ground, but don't worry, Mr. Muggles gets out alive.
At the end of the episode, Sprague and Parkman are drugged up and strapped to beds in the Primatech lab. Mr Bennet tries to blame everything on the Haitian (but the web of finger-pointing did get confusing); Eric Roberts pretends he buys it, but obviously doesn't, and is like, "Okay, so, bring Claire in. Like now." That last part may have been silent.
Cut to a tearful father-daughter scene in the car which culminates on the same bridge Papa Bennet 'killed' Claude on, Papa Bennet ordering the Haitian to 1) shoot him (in the abdomen, not lethally) and 2) wipe his mind of everything so that Eric Roberts can't find Claire. Claire is bawling and even the Haitian seemed kind of touched.
