Gretchen is particularly shaken after Becky had tried to strangle her, but Claire assures her everything will be fine and decides to visit the sorority house.

After Gretchen leaves, Samuel Sullivan enters the room, who begins to explain who he is and his wish for Claire to join them.

Samuel tries to convince Claire that ordinary people simply can't understand them, which is why he chooses to live apart and among others with abilities.

Later, Claire returns to her room, saddened by the loss of Gretchen, while Noah continues his investigation with the compass and Samuel.

Having taken control of Matt Parkman's body, Sylar proceeds to an airport in Los Angeles to fly to New York and ask Peter Petrelli about what happened to him, as it was the last thing he remembered.

Along the way, Matt distracts Sylar to cause him to get a flat tire; a passing tow-truck stops by to lend a hand.

Sylar then announces his intentions to get his body back and kill everyone involved, but when he steps outside, he is confronted at gunpoint by several police officers.

Matt intends to have himself killed to finish off Sylar, and manages to control his body enough to reach into his coat as if he had a gun.

As a result, he is shot several times by the police officers, and as his body collapses, the image of Matt disappears.

Peter has been using his new ability to stabilize critical patients he has been rescuing, but finds the process extremely taxing on him.
