Recap

Mohinder is working in his laboratory when he notices that he's suffering from an odd rash. Thanks to his heightened senses, he hears his neighbors arguing.

The wife, upset, asks Mohinder to leave...

Episode Quotes
Future Peter: I made terrible mistakes. Stepped on too many butterflies.

Future Nathan: Stop. I'd like a moment with my brother alone.
Future Claire: Is this the President speaking, or my father?
Future Nathan: Both.

Future Claire: (to Future Knox and Future Daphne) I killed my uncle once and now I have to kill him again, so let me be a human being for just one second.

Peter: I don't know a thing about watches!
Future Sylar: If you want to learn how to access my ability, fix... the watch. Listen to it. Like a symphony, every piece has its part, all coming together in perfect harmony. If you can understand the complexities of a watch, you can understand anything - everything. Cause, effect... action, reaction... how to change the future.



Cultural References
Episode Title: I Am Become Death

The episode title is a reference to a quote by Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer delivered after seeing the first atomic bomb explode: "I am become death, the destroyer of worlds." This quote is also a line from the Bhagavad Gita.



Episode References
Future Peter: I've stepped on too many butterflies.

Future Peter's line is a reference back to "The Butterfly Effect" in which Angela tells Peter about the butteryfly effect and the damage he's done.

Claire: (to Peter) Trying to teleport? Not with my friend here!

Mr. Bennet says the same thing to Matt in "Collision."

Various scenes in this episode were from the dream Peter has in "Genesis."



Analysis
Abilities Development
Peter Petrelli: Peter masters Sylar's intuitive analytical ability (and the hunger that comes with it), and is exposed to Knox's strength-enhancement from fear and Daphne's superspeed.
