Hiro the Compassionate Softy offers Kensei a chance to save himself, extending his hand to his former BFF for quick teleporting. Kensei blathers on about being betrayed, and announces that God is dead. Someone got up on the wrong side of the bed today. If you cut off Kensei's head, do you think it would crawl back to his body? Claire's old toe just snapped off in the earlier episodes, becoming a chew toy for Mr. Muggles, as she grew a new one. Or does it just grow back? I assume a person with regenerative powers can't will their million little body parts to find each other and fuse together. Hiro blinks himself away just as the entire camp goes kaboom. Mushaboom, mushaboom.

Looking at the scorched camp, Hiro expresses his guilt over letting Kensei die. Yaeko assures Hiro that he will always be the real Kensei to her. He wants to be with Yaeko. He should take her to the future. A feudal Japanese female is probably more advanced than the average American in 2007, from the looks of their inventions. As they say, today is yesterday in Japan.

"Kensei and the Dragon" is the last trial. The dragon who taught Kensei the way of the sword demanded his love in return. That's not very dragon-like, that's kind of human. Part dragon, part man....sounds an awful like:

Burninating the village! Burninating California!

Hiro knows he nearly destroyed time by staying when he should've left. He tells Yaeko that Kensei had to cut out his heart to save his love. Edgar Allan Poe would approve of this morbid thought, but then again, Poe was a necrophiliac with pickup lines like "Would you like to have sex? I'll take complete silence as a yes." Yaeko interprets the heart thing literally, confirming Hiro's suspicion that the love of his life isn't the sharpest tool in the shed.

She suggests that perhaps he can be with his princess now, hinting that he should take her to the future with him. But nope. Hiro does the honorable thing, and peaces out with just a kiss. He could've at least stopped time so that they could get it on, but alas.

Ando appears to be working and not playing World of Warcraft when Kensei's scorched samurai mask appears on his desk. It's a bit silly that Yamagato Industries labels all their folders and office materials in English. No wonder Ando always looks so confused. He sees Super Hiro, who is FINALLY back in the present-day and it's a touching reunion, though I expected them to hug. Apparently Hiro was less nearsighted in the past, because he immediately puts his glasses back on. Ando updates him on recent events, and Hiro pumps his arms triumphantly in his trademark "Yatta!" post after learning New York didn't go kaboom. He chatters about how excited he is to share his adventure with Ando and his dad, but Ando gently breaks the dead-dad news to him. Awkward.

If you burn the paintings, they can't come true!

Bennet, in the warehouse with the paintings, is excited to use his Sony Cybershot. The artwork is laid out on the floor. One depicts Peter staring into a room marked with a biohazard sticker, the rest you've already heard about - girl banging on window, Mohinder with a nose job, Kensei and Hiro dueling, Shanti Virus in a vial. Bennet gives Mohinder a call and tells him he's discovered an Isaac painting that shows Mohinder brandishing a Company-issued gun. Mohinder's like, I don't have a gun, dude, and mentions he's been partnered with Niki. You can sense Bennet's paranoia/concern growing, but his lack of communication is affecting his relationship with Mohinder. He does, however, compliment the impending nose job. You can never be too handsome.

Mohinder expresses his displeasure for moral ambiguity. He's worried The Company is watching his every move, yet he's stupid enough to answer a phone call on their premises. Bennet's reticence makes him feel expendable and not trusted, and you can see him inching over to The Dark Side. Or is it towards the light?

Nice suit, did you get that at Ann Taylor?

Meanwhile, The Company's facility is being evacuated by Bob, with employees rushing down the hallways with stolen printers and computer monitors. Mohinder and Niki have a riveting discussion about ethics and morality, but he ends up calling her a guard dog. If The Company got rid of Jessica while treating Niki how can she still fight? Did they merge her two personalities? I need answers. Parkman and Nathan show up - the Nightmare Man is on the loose.
