A huge twist in the tale of this one, as the love triangle spells doom for Simone. The episode starts with Peter training and continuing to increase his powers. He discovers he has telekinesis when Claude attempts to hit him with a staff, a skill he believes he absorbed from Sylar in Texas. These powers become all-too-vital when he’s attacked by Bennett and the Haitian who have been tipped off by Isaac about Peter’s contact with Claude. Peter and Claude narrowly escape as Peter’s powers of fl ight improve. Meanwhile, Mohinder Suresh is still unaware that the man who he thinks is Zane Taylor is actually Sylar and travels with him to Montana. They visit Dale Smither, a woman who has superhuman hearing, who agrees to being tested by them. But, during the night, Sylar murders Smither to take her powers and Mohinder fi nds her body when he returns with “Zane”, who persuades him to fl ee the scene.
Elsewhere, Ted Sprague is contacted by an Israeli woman, Hana Gitelman, who tells him that marks on their necks were caused by a radioisotope, put there so that the Primatech Paper Co can track them. They meet up with Matt Parkman, who they persuade to join them in confronting Bennet. The episode concludes with Bennet being stopped at gunpoint by Matt, Ted and Hana as he returns home with his family. Then the real shock. Isaac is painting a picture of Peter when he discovers Peter is in his loft. They argue about why Isaac helped Bennet fi nd him and Peter uses telekinesis to throw Isaac through several canvasses before making himself invisible. Isaac is so terrifi ed that he shoots at the next noise he hears – but the noise isn’t Peter, it’s Simone coming through his door. She dies in Peter’s arms as Isaac watches.
