In Los Angeles, FBI Agents Audrey Hanson and Elisa Thayer arrive at the Walkers' home to investigate the murders of James Walker and his wife and the disappearance of their daughter Molly. They discuss the similarities between the murders and those Audrey is investigating as part of the Sylar case. When LAPD officer Matt Parkman locates Molly hiding in a cupboard, the agents become suspicious, and when he mentions Sylar, Audrey arrests him.
One Giant Leap
At FBI Headquarters in Los Angeles, Audrey Hanson questions Matt Parkman about his discovery of Molly Walker at the crime scene. When Matt manages to convince Audrey that he can hear thoughts, she asks for his help on the Sylar case.
Nothing to Hide
Audrey Hanson meets Matt in the locker room of the Los Angeles Police Department. She tells Matt that she believes Sylar has killed again. She tells him to get out of his uniform and meet her outside.
At the morgue Matt sees the severely burnt corpse of Robert Fresco on the examining table. Audrey believes this is another victim of Sylar, but Matt points out that there's nothing out of the ordinary with the corpse. Audrey tells Matt that the corpse is putting out a large amount of radiation despite no radioactive material having been found at the scene. All they found was a fingerprint that was seared to the bone that matches Theodore Sprague. Audrey believes this is Sylar.
Matt and Audrey arrive at Theodore's residence alone. They search the house and find radiation damage in many places. After entering the bedroom, Audrey finds extremely high radiation levels and they both leave quickly.
Matt gets a call from his wife, which he ignores. He tells Audrey that he doesn't believe the man they're following is Sylar. Matt found an anti-cancer drug prescribed to Karen Sprague by Robert Fresco in the bedroom. Matt and Audrey take a trip to the hospital to visit Karen and find Theodore Sprague at her bedside. Ted tells Audrey that he didn't mean to kill Dr. Fresco. He lost control when the doctor claimed he couldn't help Karen.

Audrey and Matt interview Theodore Sprague. Matt learns that Ted also had a black-out after which things started dying, and that he shares the same mark on his neck from the experience. Ted explains that he was in Kansas a few months back having sold a dialysis machine to a university hospital. He went to the hotel bar where he saw a couple from Wyoming, a few professors, and a student from Haiti. The next thing he knew he woke up in his car two days later in Arizona with cuts and bruises on him. Matt realizes that the same Haitian was involved in his black-out, and then several other FBI agents arrive and escort Ted away for transport. One of the agents tells Matt and Audrey that Matt shouldn't be there since his badge was suspended.

At Mohinder Suresh's apartment, Mohinder is visited by an FBI agent. Mohinder tells the agent that he's glad the FBI is finally taking the list seriously. The agent tells him that too many people on that list have shown up dead or missing and that if not for records proving he was not in the country at the time, Mohinder would be in a lot of trouble. The agent asks about the list and Mohinder tells him that his father identified a genetic marker that the evolved humans have in common and that he compiled the list using information from the Human Genome Project. He tells the agent that he's been trying to locate them and warn them about Sylar. The agent tells Mohinder that they ran the name and that it was clearly an alias, but that they did find information on one of the other names on the list: Sarah Ellis. Mohinder explains that he tried to find her in Los Angeles and that he's never met her before. The agent asks Mohinder if he's sure, and shows him a picture, revealing Sarah Ellis to be the woman he knows as Eden McCain.

The agent tells him that she turned up three days ago in Lake Ramsey dead with a gunshot wound to the head, a suspected suicide.
