"The Kindness of Strangers" is the fourth episode of the second season of the NBC science fiction drama series Heroes. It originally aired on October 15, 2007. This episode marks the first appearance of Monica Dawson, played by Dana Davis, who joins the main cast.

Nathan Petrelli visits his sons at school, telling them their grandmother (Angela Petrelli) was in the hospital. When he visits his mother with Matt Parkman, she confesses to being the one that pushed Kaito Nakamura off the building. Matt, however, reads her thoughts and advises Nathan that her confession is false. He shows Nathan the defaced photographs of Angela and Kaito and Nathan provides Matt with a copy of the complete photograph. The photo shows Daniel Linderman, both of Nathan's parents (Angela and Arthur),Mohinder Suresh's boss Bob, Charles Deveaux, Kaito Nakamura, two unidentified men, three unidentified women and a man Matt identifies as his father, Maury. Later, Nathan has a nightmarish vision of himself with horrible burns over his body.

Maya and Alejandro are traveling by car with the American prisoner, Derek. He mentions that he is really from New Jersey, but he got the car in California. The conversation is cut short as the trio spots a body in the middle of the road. It is a disoriented Sylar, who joins them. Maya explains to Sylar (who identifies himself by his real name of Gabriel Gray) that she and her brother are journeying to New York to find Chandra Suresh, but Alejandro is wary of his presence. However, at a stop in Mexico, Derek sees a newspaper identifying the twins as murderers and tries to plan with Sylar to turn them in to the police. Sylar shows the twins the headline and asks if the picture is of them. Alejandro tells Maya to deny it, but she admits that they are the suspects. On the verge of tears, Maya nearly kills Sylar but her brother stops her powers from activating. Realizing that the twins both have abilities, Sylar agrees to help them get to New York. As they speed off, Derek is seen dead by a pay phone in a pool of his own blood, killed by Sylar.
