Turns out that Deepak will let Ando go if Annapura honors her  commitment to marry him. The wedding starts, but Hiro walks in and yells “Stop!” He explains to the guests quite rationally that she is being forced into it against her will, and that Deepak kidnapped his friend, who is being held hostage. Annapura confronts her grandfather (who looks 20 years older than her, tops), and tells him that traditional marriage is “not her destiny.” (Hiro is so pumped that someone else knows Destiny!) Deepak says that the “woman in the bakery” belongs to him, and Hiro punches him and flashes a knife. He realizes that he’s a hero again AFTER ALL! YATTA!

H.R.G. confronts Claire at her car. He knows she’s lying about where she’s been all day, and warns her what will happen if she’s caught. She tells him he can’t control her anymore and drives off. 

Abby gives Nathan a notification to cease and desist his operation. Nathan tries to convince her that these people are dangerous, and she starts up again about how torturing American citizens is never justified. Oh, Abby. So passionate and convicted about your beliefs. Meanwhile, Traci is able to escape from her oven and is holding an agent hostage in the hallway. Abby and Nathan (and a bunch of agents with non-lethal weapons) watch as she freezes the guy and he shatters against the wall. Then they taser her and take her down. After she killed someone. Oops!

Nathan says he’s sorry that Abby had to  witness that (Translation: “I can’t believe my incredible luck that you saw her kill that guy.”) Now Abby is ready to stomp all over human rights with her bags full of money.

Sandra and Claire are alone in the house, and Claire takes the chance to tell her mom what Noah’s actually been doing: abducting innocent people. She explains that he’s working for a secret program, and about that whole plane crash thing. Noah walks in with Indian food (More Indian food!) and Sandra tells Claire to go upstairs, and Claire listens as her parents duke it out. H.R.G. says he doesn’t have a choice to work for the program. If he’s not on board, Claire will be on the list of captured heroes.

Nathan visits Traci, and she says that broken chain and unlocked door prove that Nathan wanted her to escape. “Next time I will,” she tells him.

At the diner, the black van backs up and suddenly stops. Lots of killing noises come from inside, and Sylar carries Luke out of the van full of dead agents, leaving huge bloody bootprints in his wake.

Back in India, Ando realizes that he “shouldn’t have interrupted destiny” (even though he didn’t) and Hiro learned that he doesn’t need powers to be a hero (actually, he needed the powers of persuasion and knife wielding). Annapura shows Ando and Hiro a fax that came to her restaurants for them. It’s from Rebel, and tells them to save Matt Parkman. “It’s a message from Destiny!” Hiro says. (No, actually it’s from Rebel, remember?)

Noah comes upstairs and tells Claire that Sandra wants him to move out of the house for a while. He wants to be a better person and not tell lies anymore. “We’ll get through this. I love you, Claire Bear,” he tells her. They cry, and she gives him a hug. He leaves. Aqua Man Alex walks out of the closet. (Is that a hint? No new love interest for Claire?)

Luke thanks Sylar for coming back for him. Sylar says he came back to investigate how the tracking device in the car worked. He turns on the radio, and a song about a psycho killer comes on. Luke is all, OMG IRONY! and laughs.

Nathan knows it was Danko who let Traci out. Danko admits that he did it to save the operation. He’s sorry that a man had to die because of it (Translation: he doesn’t care.) Nathan tells Danko to apologize to the man’s bloodstain, because it’s still warm… even though he was an icicle—ZING!

Noah drinks away his sorrows at a hotel bar. But uh oh, somebody drugged his drink. The bartender just watches as Peter, Suresh, and Parkman pick him up and carry him out.
