Mohindra leaves after the wife tells him to stop.

In California, Zimmerman is visited by Tracy in search of information about her body double.

Four years in the future, Future Peter takes Present day Peter to the center of New York City. At first, everything looks the same, but Peter later sees everyone possessing super human abilities. Future Peter shows his former self a newspaper reporting an increase of crime throughout the world. He says that someone created an injection that enhanced people, but with these new powers self control was lost.

Future Peter tells his past version that he is now seen as a villain and should not make the same mistakes that he made. He says sides were chosen separating people who were born with super powers and those who were enhanced with them. He tells present Peter to seek out Sylar.

At that moment, Future Peter is shot and killed by Claire. Present Peter runs and pushes aside the Haitian while he makes his escape from Claire's barrage of bullets.

Sylar knows that Peter is from the past and reveals to him that they are actually brothers. Sylar says he goes by Gabriel now and that he's grown from what he used to be, a murderous monster. Sylar says that he fights his hunger everyday because he is now a caring father. Peter tells Sylar that he wants to take his abilities because his future self warned him of a bleak future. Peter believes that with Sylar's powers, he can change this. Peter gives Sylar a brush and asks him to paint the future. Sylar turn white and goes into a trance.

I thought the moment when Peter meets future Sylar was hilarious. It was funny to see him as a caring dad feeding his cute doggy. It is totally opposite from my perception of him being a heartless killer. I thought we saw alot of revelations and more questions presented in this episode. Finding Knox was working with Claire and Daphne ending up with Parkman was a few things we learned on this show. Like Sylar, and now Peter, I have a hunger. A hunger to know more. Why does Claire end up like she does? How is the world going to destroyed? What does Linderman want? I'll keep on watching to satisfy this hunger.
