Angela Petrelli's dark past begins to unfold. Her sister Alice, along with Angela, were taken to the compound that Angela brought Nathan, Peter and Claire in the last episode. Claire and Angela discuss what happened there so many years ago, but a fierce windstorm flares up. Angela runs outside calling for her sister who we find out was able to control the weather (hopefully she will look like Storm from The X-Men, but it will likely be Cristine Rose in dual roles).
In a flashback, Angela and Alice Shaw arrive on a bus labeled "Coyote Sands Relocation Center" with an Indian doctor checking them in (likely the senior Doctor Suresh). There are armed guards and the doctor tells young Angela that they are there to keep them "safe." Angela tries to convince her sister that the people at the compound will help them overcome their problems (Angela has terrifying nightmares). Next we see Angela back in the present telling Peter that her sister and parents were killed at the compound and she wants to prevent that from happening to them all in the present. Peter questions Angela about why they had to be brought to this place when she could have told her about it anywhere, but Angela says she has been dreaming about her dead sister a lot recently and wants to find something, a piece of cloth if not the body of Alice in order to give her a proper burial.
The few who survived the slaughter, so many years ago became "the Company" explains Angela. They determined that never again should those with abilities be rounded up. They did this by destroying files, erasing memories, killing and blackmailing. Claire wonders if Angela stating that they need to go back to the "old ways" means killing and blackmailing people. Peter refuses to be a part in anything like that and races off.
Back in 1961, Dr Suresh comes for Alice and when he tries to use a needle on her arm, Alice panics and an electrical storm causes the door to blow open. When Dr Suresh tries to force Alice to take the needle, a guard trying to close the door is electrocuted and Alice runs out the back door into the storm. Dr Suresh tries to grab her and he strikes Alice across the face. A man uses a force to push Sureah away as he tries to apologise. A guard shoots him and Alice hides under a shack as gunfire and screaming is heard as the guards begin shooting everyone. Mohinder Sureah turns up and confronts Noah Bennet asking why he is there. Noah advises he was brought by Angela Petrelli and Mohinder says he found a file stating his father was a doctor there years ago and he wanted to find out why, but now he is unsure if he really wants to know.
Then Angela finds her sister Alice still alive. Alice explains she stayed at the compound and stole what she needed to survive. Alice appears a little loopy (wouldn't you after 50 years alone?) and begins channeling another storm. Mohinder tries to placate her but Alice flashes back to his father slapping her and Mohinder is knocked back by an electrical discharge. Angela tries to tell Alice that it is all right, that these people are her family...
