Parkman enters and Future Peter guiltily looks up. Future Peter babbles a bit about Nathan's miraculous recovery, while Parkman knows something's a-brewing. Peter says he's trying to find where the gunman stashed his weapon, and Parkman's spidey ESP sense kicks in. His suspicion grows after he asks Peter how he knows that the suspect even stashed a gun. Future Peter panics a teeny bit as Parkman dangles the gun in front of him. So he lets his scar reappear, and informs Parkman that he's from the Future, that it all begins with Nathan telling people about the heroes and their abilities (JUST LIKE X-MEN ZOMG) and that he (Peter of the Future) has to stop it. Future Peter does some hand gestures that send Parkman packing to the middle of nowhere. Shazam!

Wolverine will save you.

With Parkman disposed of, Peter heads back to the hospital where Nathan is lying. Meanwhile, Nathan wakes up, realizes he doesn't even have a scratch on his body, and puts on the suit so conveniently hung on the door for him. Peter gets to Nathan's empty bed as Nathan exits the hospital right next to a reporter giving the news. Conveniently, there's a church two feet away from the Emergency exit. Jesus loves winners (and sinners). Everyone's baffled that Nathan's condition is stable, and the reporter drops a YouTube reference.

I'll spare you the religious ecstasy part, but Nathan is reborn a believer and shows off his Spanish to a Hispanic family praying in the pew. He says that God has a plan for all of us, basically, and that God is the only one with a message of hope and urgency. Kill everyone. Peter enters the church and gets the gun ready -- again. Yada yada yada, we know we're not alone. Only together can we make it better and be in charge of our own destiny! Also, Future Peter decides not to shoot Nathan again. As he goes to find his brother, Nathan collapses. More touching!

That man just told me my keys smell.

Back in the hospital room, Nathan wakes up to Future Peter and a headline ripped straight out of Touched by an Angel. Nathan thinks that everyone with these powers has the ability to be angels to do God's bidding. The Trinity Broadcasting Network totally sponsored this. Fortunately, Nathan realizes that they couldn't be angels if everybody knew about the heroes and their powers, so Future Peter is satisfied and asks for his brother's forgiveness. What would Oprah do?

Future Peter leaves and Linderman appears. Oh man, Linderman totally healed him. That little man thinks he's God, but I prefer the version played by George Burns.

Cut to a swanky hotel room and a Republican-looking Governor Man watching Nathan's religious testimony on TV. Two wine glasses sit in front of him, and there's rustling in the background. Red power tie? Check. Shiny shoes? Check. Silvery patrician hair? Check.

Turns out his freak in the bed is...Niki. Why doesn't she ever just DIE? DL died, and I bet Micah died, but Niki is the cockroach of this series. She just keeps coming back. Sigh. Oh wait, it's not Niki (the spelling of that name still really irks me every time I have to type it out, it's like naming your child Jeysikkah or something). It's someone who looks EXACTLY LIKE NIKI/JESSICA but is named Tracy. And she's bonking/advising a governor while prancing around in lingerie, flesh-colored panties and corsets. The Guv'nah motions for Tracy to check out Nathan on TV, and she grins in approval. Somehow I have a feeling Tracy is a completely separate personality and that Niki/Jessica are trapped on the other side of the looking glass somewhere in Vegas. This feels very Alexandra Dupre + Spitzer, minus the classiness and MySpace profile.

Every single personality works out and doesn't eat. Not buyin it.

Somewhere in the desert (probably Inland Empire, CA)

Parkman wakes up with a scorpion on his face. He's still clad in NY black clothing from head to toe. He has no idea where the hell he is (it's probably going to be Death Valley or Africa), and walks for awhile. A long while.

Downtown Tokyo, presumably

Hiro and Ando stroll through the remains of Gwen Stefani's Harajuku Lovers tour. Generic Tokyo set, really, complete with hanging lanterns and cherry blossoms and bright signs everywhere. Hello Kitty! Hiro and Ando contemplate how the Speedster knew he was about to open the formula. Hiro says he has to jump to the future, and light speeds to see how the world is destroyed so they can stop it. How he knows where to go is beyond me.
