Claire deems herself Peter’s protector

Mohinder figures out there’s a missing piece to the formula

Summary:
Pot Pies, Peach Pies, and Picnics next to a plastic covered chair

-Hiro went into a trance to see the past
-Linderman had some hinky business practices that Nathan (a new Assistant District Attorney) was heading the case against him. He pleaded with Arthur to convince Nathan otherwise.  Arthur’s last ditch effort failed
-Gabriel was saved from suicide by his guardian angel Elle, who was there on Company Assignment to observe his abilities (while her partner Noah watched from a distance)
-Arthur caused the car accident that left Heidi Petrelli paralyzed
- Meredith and brother Flint are recruited by the company, but later go on the run.
-Angela finds out about Linderman and Arthur’s murder plan and Arthur brainwashes her. Linderman heals her brain and she exacts her revenge and protects Nathan by poisoning Arthur. The plan is interrupted when Nathan shows up, believes it was a heart attack and they rush to the hospital.  Arthur however is not dead, merely paralyzed.
-Elle provokes Gabriel’s hunger with another Gifted man and she and Noah’s assignment goes awry, loosing Sylar on the world.
-Hiro awakens from the trance in a panic. Screams draw him outside where Utusu’s severed head and body lay. Arthur apparently took a trip to Africa.
