'The Line' opens with Peter and Caitlin discussing Ricky's death. Peter realizes that the girl who's looking for him and his destiny are tied in with Montreal, and resolves to go find Ricky's killer. Caitlin goes along with him vowing to 'Kill the Bitch.' Uh-oh, watch out Veronica Mars.
America's favorite cheerleader Claire tries out for cheerleading and to the extreme dismay of males everywhere, doesn't make the squad. This travesty is enacted because of the bitchy lead cheerleader who informs Claire that she is, in fact, not extraordinary. Whoever said cheerleaders were smart was completely on the money. Sigh.
Mohinder is studying Monica, and Bob enters with the demand to inject Monica with a mutated strand of the virus that kills the heroes. Mohinder is torn, since he has brought them Molly, he has to do what they ask of him or Bennet informs him that he'll jeopardize the project. That, my dear Mohinder, is why you don't sleep with the enemy. OR give them your children. It's novel, I know -- I'm just that smart.

Enter a brand new bunch... The grandmother and grandson, Koyla, leave for a party, while the white-haired man is accosted by Bennet and the Haitian. "Ivan my dear friend, we need to talk." The altercation leaves Ivan on the floor, and me completely flummoxed.
Claire is socially ostracized except for West. She complains to her lovey-poo, who manages to coax Claire into taking the head cheerleader down a notch. This should be interesting.
Maya and Sylar are talking about their powers. Maya can't understand how someone would want to be different, but Sylar charms her, reaching for a little extra something. Ow-ow! Alejandro does not trust Sylar's intentions, but Maya remains adamant that he was sent by god to help them and they must trust him.
Back to the Hiro, Ando and the deciphering of the scrolls. Still kind of tired of the Hiro plot. They are planning a war, and Hiro is concerned for the woman he loves, Yaeko. But with Kensei at her side, she has no fear.
Ivan and Bennet are having a friendly chat, of course -- Bennet threatening Ivan with a memory wipe and carrying it out... It's painfully obvious that Claire's dad is still an a-hole. Go Bennet. After a short commercial break, (thankful for a DVR) we return to Bennet and Ivan. The Haitian has completely wiped all of Ivan's memories of his wife. (Ouch.) Ivan threatens Bennet's family and just when the Haitian is meant to wipe all of Ivan's memories concerning Bennet and his family Ivan offers him a deal. Come back to the company and we'll protect you. Is Bennet is turning to the dark side? Could the painting be making sense?
Suresh is faced with the injection of Monica. In a surprisingly awesome and not wussy move, he can't do it. He effectively quits, smashes the virus, and leaves.

Sylar steers Maya and Alejandro to the border and they're not the only ones there. The border patrol surrounds them, and Sylar encourages Maya to use her power to get them out of that sticky situation. She does it. Sylar's got a girlfriend! Like, OMG, their babies are going to be SUPER adorable.
Claire scares the crap out of the lead cheerleader, by staging her own abduction by West. He swoops her in the air and drops her so she can feign death. West then comes after the HBIC. Nicely done, you two. Seriously.
Meanwhile the head cheerleader is telling the police what happened to Claire, with absolutely no evidence to back up her story. Claire comes out of the shadows and acts as if nothing has happened. She's so cute when she lies.
