Hiro once again explains that he’s going to undo everything he’s ever done wrong. I’m going to allow it, as Hiro isn’t thinking clearly these days, but I would think that three straight season of learning about causality would have made an impression. Dude won’t be happy until he becomes his own grandfather.
Heroes 4-3 “Acceptance”
The Dial-A-Hero line rings – it’s a man who’s going to commit suicide and he’s on top of that very same Nakimura building. Hiro rushes to the roof, and the jumper explains that he called him so he’d have a witness. Hiro recognizes him as one of the accountants, recently laid off. Apparently, he’s the guy in Falling Down, because he gets dressed up and pretends to go to work every day. Hiro assures him “It is not shameful to lose a job”, and refrains from looking into the camera and saying “Hear that, former showrunner Jeph Loeb?” Anyway, he got fired for copying his privates at a company party (just like Jeph Loeb!), and he’s deeply ashamed. Then the guy jumps, and Hiro disappears. Seems like the “stopping time” power would have been really useful here, but Hiro elects to mess with the timestream instead.
