Testimonials

Bennet hands a school picture of Emotard as a brace-face emotot to Mama Bennet, who can't believe Emotard's managed to grow dorkier and more gangly as a teen (although Nick D'Agosto, who plays Emotard, is in his mid-twenties). She's starting to really doubt her husband for the first time in a long while, since The Haitian isn't around to mind-wipe her into compliance. Bennet takes a big breath and admits he's been cheating on her with Mohinder, and reveals the Isaac Mendez painting that depicts his death. "Claire's right, it's all about me," he admits. Mama Bennet tries to compose herself, but she's visibly ruffled. Bennet's freaking out because his plans are falling apart, and he pleads with his wife for her support. Clasping her hand in his, he tells her he needs her, but she abruptly removes it and leaves to take Lyle to school. These emerging trust issues and re-evaluation of a marriage make her character more interesting than usual. Sorry Mr. Muggles, you've gotta step up your game.

He rode the short bus.

My Emotard has a last name, it's R-O-S-E-N. Bennet calls Mohinder to track Emotard down using Molly. At this point, Bennet still believes that Mohinder won't betray him, but Mohinder is definitely conflicted and straddling the fence. Mohinder immediately tells Bob that Bennet called him and that he wants Emotard, pleading for an alternate plan that involves isolating Bennet and not killing him. When Bob hesitates, Mohinder threatens to blow the whistle on the plan. Bob quickly points out that Bennet already killed his mentor and won't hesitate to blow Mohinder's brains out if push comes to shove. However, Mohinder is still hoping that Bennet's a good guy and refuses to comply with The Company plan. All the while, Elle is groping at Mohinder because he's her new toy, giving off the repressed Catholic schoolgirl vibe.

"He's adorable! Can i keep him with the rest of my Pokemon?" asks Elle, to the annoyance of her father. Mohinder insists that they isolate Bennet so that Claire can be obtained without killing anyone, and Bob agrees.

"But I love Parkman!"

Back at Casa de Bennet, Bennet prepares to find Emotard at school. He exits the door and is immediately tackled/swooped up by who else? Twinkle Toes McGee, who recreates the Superman ride experience from Magic Mountain by flying directly up into the air. They pass through the troposphere, stratosphere, and mesosphere and into outer space, where they encounter Miss Frizzle and The Magic School Bus. Man and boy grapple at each other, and Emotard reminds Bennet he doesn't have the super strength to maintain their intimate embrace. What Emotard really wants to know is not what the hell Bennet was doing abducting wee boys, but if Claire really loves him truly, madly, deeply. "She lied to me, so I'm guessing you're pretty important to her," says Bennet. Emotard is beside himself and flies them back to the ground, where he's promptly restrained by Bennet.

Just then, Mohinder calls Bennet and tells him Emotard is at Verbena Street, but Bennet looks up to see the sign reading Ocean and 4th. Bennet puts 2 and 2 together and realizes Mohinder is lying. He's really one of the few Heroes who have common sense and quick intelligence, and would totally win Survivor.

Don't judge me because I use Biore Clear Pore Strips.

Mohinder asks Elle if she's killed many people, which is a touchy question, the equivalent of "So, how many guys have you screwed?" She's sipping on a slurpee and isn't as quick-witted as I'd imagine Veronica Mars would be in this situation. Elle allows Mohinder to speak to Bennet alone, to spare his life. Bennet pulls up in a Nissan, and Mohinder slides in the backseat, asking him to give them Claire. Bennet realizes The Company has convinced Mohinder and mentions that indoctrination is part of the 12-step program. Mohinder pulls out his gun and command Bennet to drive, adding a "please" at the end because this tough-guy schtick is out of character for him.

Meanwhile, an adult who appears to be the newly-appointed cheerleading advisor in the post-Debbie era tells Claire someone is here to speak to her regarding the drinking incident. It's Bob, who clearly built a transmogrifier because he's always at the right place at the right time. He tries the good ole' "scare them straight" routine, telling Claire she could ruin her life if she doesn't confess to what really happened, but slips up, calling her "Miss Bennet." Claire notices and runs away as fast as her Nikes can take her, although the last place she should be running towards is home. Try Mexico, honey, everyone's doing it.
