Testimonials

There's a little nemesis-talk about how Elle's outburst unleashed the prisoners of Level 5, and how Claire had to clean up the mess by putting Doyle away. Elle forlornly mutters that she wasn't good at being an agent, and that her dad pushed her into it, despite her wanting nothing to do with it. She gets more visibly upset and sends a powerful jolt into the metal armrest, which of course disrupts the plane's power source. Ah. I see what they did there. Anyway, the plane's nose starts tilting down and passengers panic and start fighting over the liquor cart as Claire forces Elle to dump the electricity into Claire's body. Good thing our cheerleader can't feel pain anymore.

Well, whaddaya know, it worked. And our two resident hotties are holding hands! It was all a ploy for lipstick lesbianism, and friendship! The guy across the aisle from them basically has his hand on the bulge in his pants while mouthing the words, "Make out." Grins all around, and then Elle and Claire quickly disengage their hands like they've touched a hot stove. Fortunately, Claire's hand heals immediately.

Flamer.

Mohinder's Apartment

Daphne and Parkman talk in hushed tones about how she's scared and how they need a plan. She clearly knows Knox is coming for her, but what's she going to do about it? Knox overhears the end of the conversation while creeping up the hallway. Daphne's freaking out and we hear Parkman telling her to stick to the plan. This is too obvious. Knox slams the door open and starts getting off on their "fear." I use quotation marks because if Parkman has any sense at all, he'd be able to sense Knox's thoughts in the hallway and prepare an illusion in time for the door blasting open.

Daphne attempts to run away, apologizing to Parkman, but manages to slam into Knox's arm and falls back onto the floor. Hrm, that wouldn't happen in real life, she's just too fast for him. I'm thinking maybe the illusion's already begun. Parkman snarls at Knox a bit about how he can incapacitate him and make him eat his worst nightmares. Knox 's arms, poised to pound, are temporarily frozen. However, he boasts that he can still thrive on fear, and manages to slam his entire fist and arm through Parkman. Ouch. I wonder if he can use his pinky finger to punch neat holes in paper for filing and binding purposes? Okay, I'm really hoping this is all an illusion and that Daphne is just playing dead. Parkman, on the other hand, can't regenerate a soup can-sized hole that goes through both sides of his chest.

Aw. Cutest death ever.

Knox struts off, satisfied with his work and not bothering to check if Daphne still has a pulse. Ten seconds later, unconscious Daphne and hole-y Parkman disappear in a poof. Use your illusions! Parkman beams and says that his mind mojo jojo works, while Daphne gives him a quick kiss. Too obvious. She's got something up her sleeve, she can't be that easily won over by a pudgy psychic.

Daphne tries to convince Parkman to run away with her, but he's determined to stick it out and put an end to everything. It's off to Primatech we go. You can tell Daphne's not pleased, because she thinks she just lost her only chance to really run away. Oh, hey, Speedster? Don't try to lie to someone who can read your mind. It just won't work. Go ahead, genius, try and lie to Parkman.

Awhile later, she calls up Papa Petrelli to tell him she's accomplished her goal, and to not send her back to the gutter/trailer park where she came from. She perkily gives him a hug, and he acts like he's eating it up. Come on, Parkman, I expect more of a man who brought a turtle back from Africa illegally.

Showdown at the Alamo, Pinehearst v. Primatech

Back at Papa Petrelli Enterprises, Flint struts in and announces that Peter's long gone. Meanwhile, Sylar's legs are dangling in the air. Papa Petrelli looks incredibly pleased with himself and says that someone was supposed to recruit Sylar. Hrm. He informs Sylar that Mama Petrelli's done terrible things as well, but Sylar defends her, explaining that she accepts him for who he is. Papa Petrelli does the good parents/bad parent thing, cranking up the manipulation level and explaining Mama P will only discard Sylar after she's done with him, just like all of the broken condoms she encountered over the years.
