The Infallible (?) Isaac Gallery

As this episode begins, Isaac has a picture of Niki without any tattoo on her shoulder. During the episode, DL discovers he was framed and plans to take Micah and the money away from Niki. Jessica (Niki's ruthless alter-ego) emerges and battles with DL. As the episode ends, Isaac re-examines the painting and discovers the SGS (tattoo) concealed beneath.

Sketched for Simone to honor Charles' 70th birthday. Peter and Charles share a dream of flying together, confirmed by Simone. Charles' dying words were that Peter "told him it was all going to be okay," that he "would save the world." Simone then confides to Peter that Isaac's missing painting was sold to Linderman.

Holding the urn, Mohinder scatters his father's ashes into the sea at the burial grounds of Kanyakumari, India. Coincidentally, Kanyakumari is the answer to a crossword puzzle provided by Charlie (Burnt Toast Diner) to the sheriff that interviewed Claire in Episode 2.

The Infallible Isaac!! Bennet implores Issac to help him catch the man called Sylar. While Bennet and Isaac speak, this sketch sits in Isaac's lap! It captures two critical moments in time; when Hiro almost reveals his powers while Sylar watches (but hesitates and decides not to at the last moment) and the moment of Charlie's death at the hands of Sylar. (Isaac will later discuss the drawing with Hiro and Ando while seated in the same diner and finally realizes he can paint the future drug-free.)
Important Note: This picture shows where Sylar could be found the very moment Bennet asked for Isaac's help in finding Sylar! Isaac did not beleive in himself and Bennet never looked at the sketch, otherwise they might have caught Sylar before homecoming.

Save the Cheerleader, Save the World - THE FUTURE HAS CHANGED
This is the ONLY painting (so far) where the heroes' actions have altered destiny!
** CONFIRMATION - Graphic Novel 30 "String Theory" confirms that Claire originally died at the hands of Sylar, before f_Hiro's appearance to Peter on the subway... the future changed! **

Claire, fleeing up the bleachers, trips and falls as someone approaches

  • In Isaac's original vision, just before Future-Hiro visits Peter on the subway train, Isaac sees the fleeing Claire stumble, turn around, and face the approaching Sylar alone.
  • Empowered by Hiro's speech with the courage to 'save the world,' Peter defies certain death by coming to Claire's rescue. This time when she stumbles on the steps, Peter is there beside Claire to help her to her feet and Sylar approaches them together. Peter helps Claire to escape, absorbing her regeneration ability, thus they both survive.


These moving images, contributed 3/20/07 by NBC forum member kakkarot1290, clearly demonstrate how f-Hiro's message to Peter on the subway in Episode 4 altered to future in Isaac's vision.

(Note: In Episode 4 we witness Isaac's futuristic vision as this scene plays out in real footage before transforming into a painting-in-progress. Isaac creates this painting while Mohinder and Peter are knocking on his door, before Future-Hiro's intervention.)


Nathan destroys this painting in an effort to save Peter from going to meet his death, but Simone finds a photo in the packing crate. Peter learns the name of Claire's highschool in Odessa TX... and it seems that he will die if he goes there! Peter is still determined to "Save the Cheerleader, Save the World" no matter the personal cost.

This comic book cover (Issue #9 of 9th Wonders) is the only Isaac drawing we've seen that is 6 months old. The "Jessica" alter-ego personality emerges from Niki to take vengance on their abusive father, after grampa acted aggressively towards Micah. (A blurry scene of Jessica's rage during the struggle, hair flying, pecs rippling, closely mirrors the drawing.)
