Matt - on suspension after punching the cop his wife's been cheating on - is brought in to the FBI to interrogate Ted. He's told he only gets an hour before DHS takes over on the assumption that Ted is radioactive because he's a terrorist who's been handling bomb materials.

Matt discovers that Ted's experience (seeing the Haitian guy, passing out for a few days, waking up with a big headache) is very much like his own; also, they both now have tattoos that look like a helix. Unfortunately, Matt doesn't get the FBI the info it wants in time and Ted gets taken away, but in the time it takes Matt to go home and have an awkward conversation with his wife about her infidelity (upshot: they're going to try to make a go of it anyway), Ted starts a fire in the vehicle he's being transported in and takes off to avoid being detained.

Mohinder, back in India, sends off his father's remains and prepares to go back to work. We meet Mira, apparently a lost love, who discredited his father's research and now has a great job at a private genetic research company. She tells Mohinder she can get him in, as long as doesn't make any crazy talk about Chandra's research.

Mohinder then begins to experience bizarre flashback dreams featuring family members and a young boy with a football. These dreams lead him to take a key he found in Chandra's stuff and use it to open a locked desk drawer, in the back of which he finds a file full of sleep studies and a photo of the football kid.

In Texas, we see Mr Bennet go in to his office - a paper company/shady front - where Eden has been helping Isaac through heroin withdrawal. Bennet tells Isaac he believes that Isaac really can paint the future, and tells him that the cheerleader Isaac's been painting is Claire. Her Homecoming Dance is the next day, and Bennet fears that she's going to be killed there unless Isaac paints what is to happen so that Bennet can prevent it.

Isaac tries, but can't get his precog powers working without heroin, so Bennet gets him some and tells Eden to give it to him. She doesn't want to do it, so Bennet darkly hints that he got her off junk and so she owes him. A now mad Eden does indeed get Isaac to shoot up again, possibly by whispering something super-persuasive into his ear that we don't hear. Sure enough, the heroin gets Isaac painting again. Bennet also tells Isaac that there are a lot of 'special people' around the world that Bennet has been trying to protect from 'Sylar' (although he doesn't use his name).

Finally, in Midland, Texas, we meet Charlie, a diner waitress who's recently noticed that she has an extraordinary memory. She waits on Ando and Hiro, the latter of whom cutely develops a giant crush on her. Also studying her carefully? Sylar, who waits for her to be alone and then, true to form, kills her.

Hiro tells Ando that she was killed the same way he saw Isaac killed in the future, so he says he's going to go back in time and prevent her death. He promises to be back five seconds later, but Ando tells him Hiro doesn't know how to control his powers well enough to try that stuff yet...and Ando turns out to be right, as he is left loitering around the diner waiting for Hiro. We discover that Hiro has been successful in going backwards because we see a snapshot on the diner bulletin board of Hiro at Charlie's birthday party.
