Le Parkour time. Monica nimbly catwalks and vaults all the way up the house and opens
the door, which is - surprise - unlocked. Brinks Home Security could really plug
themselves on this show. A few episodes of McGuyver and Monica
would've had lock-picking down. The backpack is right there on the floor, in plain sight,
with comics scattered. Micah watches as a van pulls up to the house and tries to hide.

Monica panics, grabs the comics, and doesn't think to hide on the rooftop. Stupid.
Instead, the guys enter the house, grab jugs of gasoline for some arson (someone is
paying them big money), and Monica is sandwiched into a spot on the ceiling.
Predictably, a comic book falls out of the bag and gives her away. The thugs, one of
which has an awesome grill we see for a nanosecond, drag Monica out of the house and
throw her into the van, to Micah's horror. Why didn't she bust some of her Spearmint
Rhino moves? I'll give Niki fifteen minutes to show up and get killed.

Three's Company, Two Illegal Immigrants, One Ugly Car

Sylar and Maya have made it to Cook Lake, Virginia, where they are sipping Chardonnay
and toasting their two week anniversary with a picnic. How did Maya's few American
dollars get them so far? They are so close to New York, and Sylar silently rues that he
hasn't rid them of Alejandro yet. Maya insists that she needs her brother around to stop
her from killing people as well as protect her chastity, because she can only hold out for
so long against Sylar. Ever the manipulator, Sylar slowly convinces Maya she can control
her powers on her own, even though her co-dependency habit is hard to break. Sylar piles
on the guilt like hot coals and tells Maya that her brother hates her for killing his wife,
intentionally provoking the killer mascara flood.

Someone wants to be in the Star Trek remake with Zachary Quinto.

He starts gasping for air as the mascara overpowers him, and commands her to control
her power so that she can see him topless someday. Alive, that is. Part of me secretly
wishes Sylar would just die already, leaving Maya to spaz out on her own without her
guardian angel. Just as Sylar is about to conk out, Maya absorbs her own Satan's spawn
juice and revives him. Somewhere, Celine Dion is singing about the power of love.
"Yatta!" screams Maya.

Alejandro has discovered the wonders of Google, informing a jubilant Maya that Gabriel
Gray killed his own mother. Now if only he had Googled Papa Suresh. He shows her the
article he managed to print out (I didn't know the Rogue came with a built-in printer from
Dell), to her disbelief. Alejandro is about to confront Sylar but Maya jumps the gun and
blabs "I heard you killed your mother, but I know you didn't! You couldn't! The New
York Times hasn't been this wrong since Jayson Blair wrote for them." Sylar doesn't
deny it, but spins a tale of self-defense and says his mother called him a freak. He states it
was an accident, expertly gaining Maya's sympathy. She's ready to make out with Sylar
when Alejandro butts in and calls Sylar a murderer. It's too bad the one Hero who can
read Sylar like a book will soon die.

Besides looking like a Klingon and having multiple orgasms.

Maya jumps to Sylar's defense, claiming that she, too, is a murderer. Girl, you're crazy
and naïve, but don't put yourself in the Sylar category, he actually thinks for himself. She
plays into Sylar's hands perfectly as she states that she is going to see Dr. Suresh without
Alejandro. Her twin is more pissed than he was when she killed his entire wedding party,
and storms off. Sylar begins comforting Maya and creepily stroking her back and hair as
he coos, "I'll take care of you." The sound of a ticking watch returns.
