Tonight on Heroes: The Bennet family eats breakfast together (And Lyle’s actually there!), and Sandra grills Claire about her recent college visit, and H.R.G. about his “new job.” Claire gets a text from the mysterious Rebel telling her to warn Alex in Sam’s Comic Book Store that he’s in danger. Claire watches Noah lie to Sandra about the fake trip, and storms upstairs to her room.  He gives that refrain we all know so well about lying to his family to keep them safe, and warns Claire about how the whole family is being watched carefully. He enrolled her in community college, and warns there will be hell to pay if she’s not in the front row of her Lit 101 class on Monday.

Nathan’s Hero hunters are holed up in Building 26, and they’ve got photos of their targets. Claire’s not being hunted, but she’s on probation and under surveillance. Nathan comes in and tells Danko that he requested more funding to facilitate catching the fugitives. He tells the team to hunt them and bring them home alive.

Meanwhile, Luke and Sylar continue their road trip to find Sylar’s dad. Luke teases Sylar with hints about where they’re going, and Sylar stops the car. He wants to know exactly where they are going, and after Luke lies twice, he tries to scare Luke by telling him about all that skull cutting and brain stealing he’s been doing. Luke calls him a serial killer (and then defines it) and reminds Sylar that he can’t kill him, because then he’ll never find his dad. Yeah, Sylar’s got it. Also, they're being watched by Danko's dudes.

Claire goes to see Alex in Sam’s comic book store. She tells him he’s in danger, and he thinks she’s that new sort of human telegram where instead of a song, you get a lapdance. Score! (He doesn’t talk to girls much.) Claire’s super-dramatic stare isn’t convincing him, so she cuts her hand and lets him watch it heal. Just then, Noah walks in. Twist! He’s the threat. Alex and Claire sneak around the tiny store until Alex runs into Noah, who asks him to step outside and talk about parking tickets. Claire calls Noah from across the room to distract him. Alex pushes a case of comics onto Noah and runs. Claire catches up, they get into his red convertible and drive off.

Hiro and Ando arrive in India at the spot of Parkman’s drawing, which showed Hiro, a woman in red, and a man on the ground at a wedding. Hiro knows he is destined to stop the wedding and save the bride. He goes to see when the wedding starts, when Ando sees the woman and follows her inside.  He introduces himself. Her name is Annapura, and says his name is familiar. She is sad, and Ando tells her to call off the wedding. She’s been waiting for a sign to tell her what to do. Ando shows her his super charging hands, and she says that he must be the sign from heaven. She says that the wedding is off, and calls Ando her hero (because giving someone an excuse to do what they already wanted to do makes you a hero). Hiro walks in and, like a neglected 6 year old, woefully exclaims that he’s the hero, but nobody sees or hears him (just like a 6 year old). Poor Hiro’s no hero after all.

Abby Collins (Moira Kelly, from One Tree Hill, and one of my favorite movies EVER, The Cutting Edge) from Homeland Security shows up to Building 26 to find out where all their money’s going. Nathan givers her a tour, and tells her that the money is to reinforce Eagle Rock prison, which is inadequate to hold the prisoners. Abby scoffs. She doesn’t believe in magic, and the president is concerned about media exposure that he’s pumping millions of dollars into Nathan’s crazy plan. Nathan tells her that he has one prisoner in the building, and she goes nuts over this thing called Miranda Rights that Nathan forgot existed. She’s the new boss, and she wants to see this prisoner NOW. She’s sassy, and she doesn’t like Nathan. I like Abby.

Back on the road, Luke’s trying to be Sylar’s buddy, and Sylar threatens to kill him. Luke tells Sylar that he used to go birdwatching with Sylar’s dad, who toted all his supplies in a rusty red wagon. Sylar remembers the wagon because he used to ride in it. He starts talking about trees that look like snake fingers (what?) until Luke ruins the happy moment by telling him that dear old dad sold him for some quick cash. I wonder how much a young potential murderer goes for nowadays.

Abby walks into a room where Traci’s shackled to a chair and being grilled by red heat lamps. Maybe in Building 26 they try to torture you by doing the opposite of your superpower. Turns out Traci and Abby know each other from political-blah-blah-blah, and Traci pleads for Abby to let her go because they’re buddies. Abby tells Nathan she’s going to shut him down and slap him with tons of human rights violations. Awesome! If only she had slapped him in the face, too.
