Mohinder ultimately shoots Bennet in the eye as predicted by the painting. West flies Claire back home, where she breaks the news to her mother.

Hiro goes back in time to save his father, who does not wish to be saved. Before returning to the present, Hiro time-freezes the murder in order to learn the identity of his father's killer – Takezo Kensei.
