Bob mentions Papa Parkman's car was found in a ditch. For an emergency situation, there's an awful lot of time for dialogue, as Bob tells Parkman he couldn't stop Mama Petrelli from attacking herself. Echoing Linderman rhetoric ("We all have our roles to play, we must focus on the task at hand"), Bob prepares to be Maury-bait, and to have Mohinder and Niki inject Papa Parkman with the anti-power virus. I can tell you right now that those two couldn't shoot a fish in a barrel. Mohinder reviews the Hippocratic Oath in his head but can't find any mentions of what to do in case of an apocalyptic virus outbreak.

Parkman and Molly

Parkman confides in a still-unconscious Molly, who for some reason has not been evacuated. I suppose if she's already trapped in Papa Parkman land, he can't do more damage. Parkman frets that he's too stupid and too fat to stop his father, blaming himself for the abandonment. Newsflash, Parkman: Your dad is neither good nor genetically blessed, you were better off without him. He tells Molly he loves her and she seems to hear it, sparking some brain activity on the monitor. Love conquers comas.

Niki and Mohinder head to the lab to get the virus, talking about their decision-making process. Niki believes The Company could have injected her with the virus, but instead they helped her reign in her personalities. She states that it was the only way to keep Micah. Mohinder agonizes, unable to figure out what side to choose. As they round the corner, Niki gets trapped in Maury's illusion. DL appears, convincing her to plunge the virus into Bob instead, calling her a killer and using Micah as the incentive. Lady, you could've kept your son, but you chose to dump him off at the relatives.

"Is DL gonna have to choke a bitch?"

In the lab, DL reappears and pleads with Niki. The illusion unfolds so that it appears Bob shoots DL to death, leaving him to die in Niki's arms. Mohinder realizes she's talking to herself and tries to reason with her. He definitely should've taken the gun offered to him by Bob. Niki is so past reality that she flings Mohinder against a wall (again), and it is awesome. Now, we just need him to taser her again to be even.

The video is even better.

As the DL-lusion persuades Niki to take The Company down, Nathan has a heart to heart with Bob. Bob explains that Adam was a founder of the company, a visionary who is now trying to kill all of them. (So why would Maury have the death-mark picture of Bob in his apartment?) The original heroes had different ideas of what to do with their powers, to help the greater good, to advance themselves. Hubris overtook some of them, and they talked about holocausts and disasters to save humanity. Turns out Linderman was one of Adam's disciples, and they wanted to play God. I'm surprised it took this long for a religious allegory to pop up. The Company managed to lock up Adam but he escaped two weeks ago. Nathan also learns that Peter is still alive.

OMG, have you seen that "Shoes" video on YouTube?

Bob shows Nathan surveillance that Peter was in their facilities but says they lost him in Cork, Ireland. Nathan's like "How the fuck do you lose someone? Don't you have surveillance systems?" The chat is interrupted by Niki breaking down the door to Bob's office. Let's hope he has insurance on all his antiques. Instead of just flying Bob out of the building, they call for Parkman's assistance. Nathan, use your fucking powers!

Matt exits Molly's room only to walk into his childhood home. Another Maury illusion. Molly runs up to him and hugs him, telling him they're both trapped. Ah, this is where Papa Parkman keeps her. In the nightmare, it's always 1967, and the wallpaper is hella trippy.

Who knew Parkman's mom and Micah's nana had the same interior decorator?

Parkman screams "Dad" mentally and his powers kick in, transporting Papa Parkman into the room with them. Papa Parkman is super-surprised, as he was getting ready to do away with Bob via Niki. Turns out the nightmare is the night Papa Parkman left Matt and his mother and the table is still set for dinner with brisket and potatoes. Matt quickly deduces that the nightmare belongs to his father, and, by whatever laws govern his power, he should be able to exit. After an emotional exchange of words, Parkman is able to escape with Molly, trapping Papa Parkman. It will be brisket and potatoes forever, sucka!

"Your dad's an asshole."
