"Collision" is the fourth episode of the first season of the NBC superhero drama series Heroes. It was originally titled "Come Together".

Plot[]

Mr. Bennet and the mysterious man observe and interrogate Matt Parkman. When Matt learns of Claire, the mysterious man is ordered to "clean him out".

Hiro and Ando arrive in Las Vegas. There, Niki Sanders and her son Micah meet Mr. Linderman’s associates, who order her to seduce a politician Linderman is involved with, for blackmail.

Claire Bennet's body lies on the autopsy table as the coroner goes over case notes. She revives during the process, while the coroner is distracted, and sneaks out. At home, she weeps, recollecting her experience, while her father remains unaware.

Nathan Petrelli is approached by Mohinder Suresh who warns him his life is in danger. Nathan realizes Mohinder is connected to the book Peter showed him. Eden drops by Mohinder's apartment, giving him his father's ashes. As Mohinder plans to return to Madras, Peter shows up, revealing he has powers.

Simone and Peter spend the night together. Nathan arrives and accuses Peter of sending "Dr. Suresh" to him, which Peter denies. Simone leaves to talk to Isaac, wishing to buy his latest paintings. Isaac refuses, and proclaims he knows about her and Peter, having drawn a picture of them seven weeks prior. He asks for an advance to buy heroin, which he believes will enable him to stop a nuclear explosion that will destroy New York City.

Peter learns more about his powers while talking to Mohinder, and concludes he has some sort of empathic ability. The two go to Isaac's apartment to investigate his ability, but cannot enter, as he, in a drug-induced trance, dreams of Claire again. At school, Zach confronts Claire over the previous night. Claire wants to ignore it, knowing she can't press charges against Brody as she has no proof. Claire's classmate Lori Tremmel reveals that Brody assaulted her too.

At the casino, Hiro uses his time powers to cheat and gain money, as Ando gets carried away in his gambling. Eventually, he and Ando are thrown out by security, and attacked by a group they had cheated, who knock Hiro out.

In the same casino, Niki finally meets with the politician: Nathan Petrelli. After bonding with Nathan and receiving a threat from Linderman's goons, she switches to the Jessica personality and seduces Nathan, with the encounter recorded.

As Isaac exits his drug-induced trance, he sees he painted an incomplete picture depicting Claire fleeing from a shadowy figure. Claire tricks Brody into letting her drive his car, and, after confronting him about the previous night, drives it into a brick wall at top speed.

While Niki and Nathan are sleeping, Mr. Bennet and the mysterious man arrive to take one of them, not explicitly stated which.

Returning home on a subway with Mohinder, after failing to contact Isaac, Peter sees time stop. A very different looking Hiro appears, claiming to be from the future, with a message for Peter.
