Line 39:

Peter is in a flashback set during the time when he had first started caring for [[List of characters in Heroes#Charles Deveaux|Charles Deveaux]] and sees his mother speaking to Charles about the bomb. He also views the first meeting of himself and Simone Deveaux. Peter believes nobody can see him until his mother leaves and Charles confronts him. He reveals that he knew about the plan to use Nathan as a catalyst to heal the world, but he felt that Peter is the only one with enough love in his heart to truly accomplish it. He then calls the other Peter, who comes to escort him back into the house. When Mr. Bennet awakens Peter, he thanks Peter for saving Claire's life, and tells Peter, "Call me Noah."

In the climax, Peter, Bennet, and Parkman confront Sylar in the plaza. Bennet is immediately thrown against a wall, rendering him incapable of stopping Peter if he explodes. Parkman shoots at Sylar, who stops the bullets and turns them back at Parkman, who is hit in the chest. Niki steps in and uses her strength to distract Sylar and save Peter. Then, Hiro teleports from Japan, after leaving Ando behind, and [[distracts|Kiai|distracts]] Sylar as well. Before Sylar can do anything, Hiro impales Sylar with a sword, apparently fatally wounding him. However, before Hiro can do anything about Peter's request that he kill him, Sylar's last act is to telekinetically throw Hiro into the air; he teleports before he can strike a nearby building.

After this, Sylar collapses and a silvery film covers his eyes. On his eyes flash images of people he has killed, culminating with an image of Sylar himself. As Peter's hands continue to glow, Claire arrives and takes Bennet's gun. Before she is able to gather herself to shoot Peter, Nathan drops from the sky unexpectedly and says that Claire was right; the future wasn't written in stone after all. Peter realizes what Nathan intends to do, and tries to persuade his brother not to give his life. Nathan assures Peter that he had "saved the cheerleader, so we could save the world." Peter reluctantly agrees and Nathan grabs him and flies off far above New York, where a large explosion is seen in the night sky moments later.
