Later, when Claire goes to see Brody, he has no idea who she is at all.

Peter goes to Isaac, but Issac is sore over the Simone incident. Peter explains how he needs his help and begins looking at Isaac’s paintings, finding one that is unfinished. Isaac is adamant hate without drugs he can’t finish it, but Peter explains that he was able to draw the future after meeting Isaac previously, and sees a vision on the canvas, beginning immediately to paint what he sees as his eyes go white, just as Isaac’s do when he goes into his trance.
Janice, famished after her and Matt’s coitus on the couch, thinks of coffee ice cream and so Matt goes to the corner mini mart to pick some up, but while there, he starts hearing thoughts and realizes someone is there to rob the place. Using his powers, he is able to talk to the man and convince him to leave, leaving his gun behind, but when Matt picks it up and people see it, their thoughts spiral out of control and overwhelm him, causing him to flee.
At Niki’s place, the police are there waiting for her, revealing that her ex DL was spotted in the area. When someone begins approaching the house, they go on high alert, but it turns out to be Ando, looking to get help from Niki. She explains that her online persona is not really her, and Ando is released. The police leave, keeping some officers behind outside, but as Niki walks through the house, DL appears without warning, silently waiting. Ando meanwhile, returns to his and Hiro’s rented car, and seeing as how they are both at a loss of what to do next, he tells Hiro that they should just go and try calling the painter again.
Back at Isaac’s, he and Peter look at the finished paintings when the phone rings. Isaac tells him to ignore it, but Peter picks it up and hears Hiro introduce himself. Peter realizes this is the call he was warned about by future Hiro and tells him he has a message for him.

Chapter Six 'Better Halves':
Volume: One
Written by: Natalie Chaidez
Directed by: Greg Beeman
Original airdate: October 30, 2006
Synopsis:
Peter and Isaac speak with Hiro and Ando over the phone, telling them of future Hiro with the sword. Looking at the paintings, and seeing that they fit like the panels in a comic book, they realize one piece is missing, a painting that Simone took a while ago to try and sell.
In Vegas, DL appears behind Niki and holds her close, warning her to not scream. The police come to the door, but she tells them everything is ok. DL tells her that he was framed and is planning to find out who is responsible, but Niki is slow to believe. However, eventually her feelings for him come back and she lets him sleep with her in their bed. In the morning, he mentions how he heard her get out of bed during the night, but she has no recollection of it, looking into the mirror and seeing a different reflection looking back again.
Elsewhere in Vegas, Hiro and Ando speak of his hero’s journey, when the gambler they cheated shows up suddenly, and makes them use their “big power” to help him cheat in a back room poker game. All goes well at first, but Ando discovers that one of the men has a gun aimed at them below the table. Ando gets Hiro away and into the restroom when suddenly they hear signs of guns and fighting going on, with someone being thrown against the door, breaking it, and someone else shouting about a woman. After escaping from the restroom, Hiro is despondent that he didn’t save the gamblers, with Ando telling him he can just have a do over because of his powers. Hiro is satisfied with this, and together they get in their brand new Nissan Versa and head to New York.
Clarie meanwhile, ends up meeting her birth parents, a meeting set up by HRG. Things are awkward, and Claire learns little about her abilities, only that her birth parents have diabetes, and a history of heart conditions. As HRG walks the birth parents out to their car, HRG and the two talk and it’s revealed that they are actually not the real parents, but people HRG hired to play the part. Inside, Mrs. Bennet tells Claire about how when she was a baby, they were worried she had some problem with her chromosomes and tried to find her birth parents but had no luck then.
While Micah is ecstatic at seeing his father back, DL and Niki talk about things and what the plan is now. He and her go to try and clear his name but when they arrive at the destination, they find the men, the gamblers from the game the night before with Hiro and Ando, are all dead, grotesquely murdered.
In New York, Mohinder has decided to leave and return home, though Eden tries to get him to stay and keep looking. After a brief kiss, he leaves. Eden then calls HRG and tells him that Mohinder has left, but will be back, and details several people that Mohinder met that claimed to have powers. HRG then tells her to bring the precog in.
Upon returning home, DL and Niki discuss the scene they saw, and she admits the same thing happened in their garage. DL still is certain that he just needs to find the person who framed him and they will be safe. Niki leaves the room to grab Micah’s backpack, but upon seeing the strange reflection again, finds herself sitting on the couch, unaware of what has happened for the last few minutes. She retreats to her bedroom and begins talking with the reflection in the mirror, who tells her that Reflection Niki is the one responsible for the deaths, and is the one who has always done what needs to be done when Niki herself couldn’t. Reflection Niki tells her the plan was to frame DL, steal the money, and get away from him, which is what they need to do now, telling her where the money is. Upon retrieving the money however, DL appears and sees what actually happened and a fight ensues, with DL revealing his power of phasing through things. As Micah comes into the room to see them fighting, DL phases his hand into Niki’s chest, causing her to pass out, as he grabs the young boy and escapes.
Meanwhile, Eden meets Issac at his loft, and asks to come in, being a huge admirer of his work.
