Bob and Elle watch a video of two Company agents getting killed when trying to bring in Sylar. Elle thinks Sylar may be on his way to Level 5, the Company’s maximum security prison, but when she goes to tell her dad, she discovers Bob has had his head cut off. Oh no, Bob is dead! Elle immediately goes to get HRG for assistance.

She hands HRG a gun, and he finds Sylar and shoots him quite a few times. Unfortunately, Sylar’s little visit to Claire makes this ineffective, so Sylar pushes HRG aside and goes after Claire. The whole time, Weevil Petrelli is yelling through his cell. Sylar shows off Bob’s abilities by turning his gun into gold. He then starts cutting open Elle’s head when her electrical powers go supernova and blow him away.

When everyone wakes up, Level 5 is in ruins and the villains have escaped, though Sylar has been captured. Angela Petrelli arrives, because the chain of command means she is now in charge of the Company. Her first order of business is to fire Elle. Future Peter shows up asking about one of the inmates who escaped because he put the Present-Day Peter in his body. Angela orders him to go find that inmate.

Present-Day Peter is in Jesse’s body, and while we don’t know what he can do, we know he’s traveling with three other Level 5 villains. There’s Knox, who can absorb people’s fear and use it for his own strength, the German, who controls magnetic energy, and the Flame Thrower, whose name is self explanatory. These three immediately begin looting and pillaging, bringing Jesse alone, leaving Peter trapped inside the body.

HRG, who also escaped, finds Claire, but informs her he has to leave to recapture the Level 5 villains. She wants to come with him, but he refuses. To keep her safe, he’s invited an old friend to come stay with them: Claire’s fire-bending biological mother!

Speaking of biological mothers, Angela strolls into Sylar’s cell, undoes his cuffs, and promises to help nurture him, because she’s his real mother! HOLY EFFING CRAP!
