Angela Petrelli is creepily affectionate with her new son Sylar, and she feeds him a girl named Bridget with the ability to see a person’s entire past just by touching them.

HRG shows up to the Company facility for the sole purpose of recapturing the Level 5 escapees. Angela can’t let him be partners with the Haitian because he’s on an assignment for her, so she introduces HRG to his new powered partner: Sylar. HRG is obviously opposed, though Sylar rationalizes that since Claire can’t die, she was never in any trouble. Angela says Sylar is just misunderstood and needs some structure. HRG has no real choice but to team up with the devil he knows.

The Level 5 Four decide to rob a bank. Knox, who feeds off people’s fear, is the leader, while Flint (who has blue fireballs) and the German (who is essentially Magneto) are the muscle. That leaves Jesse, the villain Peter is stuck inside.

The cops show up, which is Knox’s plan because he wants the Company to arrive so he can exact revenge on HRG, aided by the power he’s getting from the scared hostages. The plan works, as HRG and his new partner see the robbery on the news. Sylar and HRG, both in suits, arrive, but HRG wants Sylar to stand back and do nothing. Instead, Sylar takes charge by posing as an FBI agent.

Peter tries to talk Knox out of it, but Knox uses simple trickery to uncover that this guy isn’t the real Jesse. HRG enters and the hostages leave. Knox has him pinned down, but Peter gets upset and yells, revealing Jesse’s power is a super sonic scream.

Emboldened, he yells and knocks everyone down, but time freezes because Future Peter has arrived. He walks up to Jesse and pushes regular Peter out. Future Peter teleports Regular Peter away, leaving HRG stuck with the real Jesse. Sylar arrives just in time for the new partners to neutralize the Level 5 Four. Sylar locks HRG out of the bank and, though HRG tries to talk him down, Sylar can’t fight his killer hunger, so he performs some quick brain surgery on Jesse. They return to the Company, and while Angela still thinks there’s hope for Sylar, HRG promises he’s sticking around just long enough to learn his weakness, then kill him.
