"Don't Look Back" is the second episode of the first season of the NBC science fiction drama series Heroes. It was directed by Allan Arkush and written by Tim Kring. The characters deal with the consequences of their actions in the first episode ("Genesis"). Peter recovers from his fall, Hiro explores New York, Niki deals with the aftermath of the murders, and Mohinder continues to investigate his father's death.
Peter wakes up in the hospital after the previous episode, where his brother Nathan denies that they flew. Their mother reveals that their father was suffering from depression, and assumes that Peter is suffering from delusions that make him feel invincible, but will inevitably lead to his downfall. Peter becomes depressed, feeling that no one will believe him, and later stands at the top of a New York City building, prepared to jump. Nathan finds him in time, though Peter orders his brother to tell the truth, and admit he actually did fly. As he's saying this, it's revealed he is hovering in the air.
Claire's friend Jackie takes credit for saving the man from the fire in the previous episode, and Zach reveals that he cannot find the videos of Claire regenerating. Later on, Mr. Bennet is convinced that Claire has matured enough, and tells her he is trying to arrange a meeting with her biological parents. Unbeknownst to Claire, her father is in possession of the missing videos.
At his father's apartment in New York, Mohinder meets Eden McCain, a friend of Chandra's who believed in his theories. A man named Sylar attempts to contact Chandra, revealing that his "hunger" is out of control. Mohinder and Eden find a flash drive that contains a computer program formerly used by Chandra in his research. Elsewhere, at a murder scene, police officer Matt Parkman begins hearing a young girl's voice in his head. Following it, he finds the victims' daughter hidden. He overhears the investigators mention a suspect named Sylar. FBI agent Audrey Hanson questions Matt's knowledge of the girl's location, and arrests him on suspicion of being involved in the murder.
