Ando's eyes gleam as he starts to pick up a few tchotchkes for himself from Daphne's stash. Gold bars everywhere, people, gold bars everywhere. "I've never been to France before!" pleads Ando. "I want a few souvenirs!" Heh. Hiro, however, looks at Ando like a criminal, because of what he witnessed in the alleged future. He confesses that he saw Ando kill him (again, not necessarily true, he just zapped Hiro and took off, he didn't stab him or anything), and says that Ando became a villain. Again, remember that things are grey in Heroesland and everyone thought Bennet was evil in Season 1 and then it became morally ambiguous.

Well, see, I had this dream about you and now it's hard to look at you without wanting to...take my shirt off and rub Rolos all over my bare chest while you...

Ando is worried about Hiro's big reveal, asserting that he's Hiro's best friend. Hiro gets all existential about it, saying that he is today, maybe but what about tomorrow. Ando's convinced it must be a robot or something. How very futuristic of you, Ando. Maybe it could be a robot clone that stole his identity! Who knows!

Switching gears, Hiro decides they need to set a trap, in the style of Batman and Catwoman. A ransom, really. They determine which of the treasures is most dear to Daphne, and well, it's the one whose resale value on eBay is less than everything else's. Hmm, looks like a gold medal for first place in the hundred yard dash in the twelfth grade is the key. It's a ghetto looking medal, to be honest, so I'm thinking the props people figured it'd be more accurate to just pick one up from the party supplies store. Also, I don't know what hick high school you went to, but there was definitely no hundred yard dash just for seniors at mine. It was more along the lines of "How fast can you run from this bullet, lil' homie?"

New York

Nathan and Future Peter reunite, and Nathan fills his brother in on the Senatorial offer.
Nathan recalls that the last time he was in a position of authority, New York was nearly obliterated from the map. Future Peter tries to tell Nathan that everything is different now, and Nathan's a bit slow to understand.

But we both still pop our collars. Even in the hospital. How different can things be?

Finally, Future Peter just confesses that he came back to kill Nathan and that he was the shooter. He reveals the future is not bright, with people being used and slaughtered and generally persecuted for their powers, and that he thought this would be how to stop that from happening. Peter dejectedly admits that he came to save the world but he doesn't think he has. Oh man, I was waiting for the Big Reveal™ where it turns out that Linderman is their real father and Peter's just a Son of God™. Anyway, the future makes Baby Jesus cry, and that's not good because Future Peter mucked things up and changed everything. He asks Nathan for his forgiveness, and Nathan's just all WTF WTF WTF?!

Decision 2008: "If you're from the future, what do I do next? Take the offer? Become a senator? Pass Go and collect 200 dollars?"

Nathan starts weighing his choices, and then Future Peter, relieved that his brother isn't going to blab about their powers anytime soon, goes to set things right. Which means they're all doomed. Season 1 had Future Hiro anxiously trying to set things right, with strings and maps going every which way as he tried to figure out cause and effect. Is Future Hiro replaced by Future Peter?

Nathan picks up the phone to call Tracy, who's driving like a crazy woman in her convertible. He tells her he's decided to serve as a junior senator, on one condition: she has to leave the Governor, because Nathan wants her on his staff. Man, who let Michael Scott write all this dialogue? Press conference time.

Fine. First law we shall pass: Stop killing my characters. I'm running out of lipstick shades.
