Meanwhile, Bob tells Nathan about Adam Monroe, a guy who convinced The Company he could help them out.

Bob then reveals to Nathan that Peter is in fact still alive but that The Company lost track of him from Cork, Ireland.

Niki becomes upset, then punches Suresh and grabs a syringe to go after Bob. Niki begins to break down the door to get to Nathan and Bob. She comes at Bob accusing him of killing DL.

Back in the Company's monitoring room, Matt is sitting next to Molly's bed and sees his father layed out on the ground. Molly wakes up from her coma. Suresh with a broken nose then goes to save Niki by using his blood as the antibodies. He realizes that his blood isn't a cure and Niki has another strain of the virus, that he can't cure. Bob and Suresh discuss how the virus can't be cured. Bob shows Suresh a file of Claire Bennet saying she can regenerate and may be the key to curing the virus. Bob also tells Suresh that Mr. Bennet may be dangerous and provides him a gun, saying Bennet's mentor was recently shot in Russia.
