Rewatch the locker room scenes again. There's a banner that just says 'Homecoming' in the locker room. (Why? I don't know.) It actually looks like the one Claire was working on during last week's episode.

Also, watch when Sylar "cuts" open Jackie's head. They actually show blood splatter onto the banner.

There you go. Problem solved.



















Of course, this means that Hiro and Ando end up in the girl's lockerroom.

Im not debating the fact that things changed from what was drawn due to the intervention of Peter but now that we know the first image. We know the 2nd one is off since we see Sylar launch locker doors at Peter before Peter falls and hurts himself. Also Hiro and his friend show up before Clair is chased up the stairs.

Also there is blood on the homecoming banner but the cheerleader was killed in the locker room not in the hallway where the trophy case is.

Why do you think it was off? Or was it just a general view of the event?

Still missing Hiro in the actual situation

1st panel


Full image

I wouldn't be surprised if things change due to Hiro going back in time and this battle happens again. Look at Peter's hand how it goes through the locker door like DL can.

The painting of Hiro & Ando... didn't that occur last week? I'm pretty sure I remember seeing them near a sign like that.
*makes note to review episodes*

I think a lot of them were just general views of the events, and weren't necessarily exact. I mean, it's still art, he's not painting photographs. Peter never had butterfly wings, but Isaac drew that. As for Hiro and Ando, I'm sure they'll get there sometime.

Peter had never seen them before and Isaac was under the influence of drugs when he painted them so he remembers nothing about them.

Isaac and Peter simply put them in the wrong order. In fact it would have had no credibility if they had got them in the right order.

Oh hey, I didn't notice Peter's hand was in that locker door... Yeah, it's very possible they go back in time and do it again. That is a very cool possibility.

peter had butterfly wings? @_@ you must mean his trenchcoat flowing out behind him lol

just put this idea out there in general discussion forum but...
what probably happens is hiro and ando arrive at the school too late, see dead cheerleader, blood everywhere and think that peter failed...and probably upset about it...

Both the one with Hiro and Ando and the one with Claire running up the stairs is different from what happened.
As noticed, the banner was hanging in the girls locker room (why?), instead of over the trophies as pictured in the painting.
And Peter came just behind Claire helping her up, instead of it being Sylar.
And no the shadow is NOT Peter. The shadow is holding up his hands ready to use telekineses like Sylar do, while Peter does not do this, and has no reason to.
Also we saw the vision Isaac saw in episode 4, which he painted it from, and its a different clip.

Hiro would need to show up soon in order for that panel to have anything to do with it but he is MIA in the past so unless there is an alternate version of events it dosent seem likely

I don't think Issac's paintings are nessecarily wrong, I mean he paints the future, which other people see changing the outcome of the event because the person(s) will know what will happen.

Peter definitely got the order of the paintings wrong.

The painting of Hiro & Ando is likely going to take place in Episode 11 (because #10 is Hiro's six-months-ago adventure) as you know there is a bloody banner and they hasn't seen it yet.

The painting of Sylar standing over the dead cheerleader did happen (just not to Clair).

Peter's hand is not going through the locker, it's simply above it.

What I don't understand is if Issac can paint the future, wouldn't that future be definitive? If so, how can you change it? The paintings are pictures of events that are going to happen. If you can change the future, then Issac is only painting possible futures, not definitive.

Well in terms of how definitive the paintings are or the future that shows in it keep in mind Hiro came from the future to change it so all things are possible but this starts to bring alternate realities into the picture which only complicates the matter

Did you ever consider that Isaac might paint the future, but not the exact situation with all of its details? I don't know, that's possible. Plus, he is on drugs and the drugs are only facilitator as Eden said...maybe the drugs influence the details he paints? Makes it more dramatic or surreal or whatever?

Anyway, the panels are wrong, I agree. The reasoning behind that is a realistic one. However, there's more. The missing painting must be square to fit with those two "pages". But it isn't. It's just rectangular. It doesn't fit.
Do you think that's a slip-up or does it rather mean that there are more pages and some paintings simply belong on another page?
Nobody says we just have two pages, right?

Because that would be a rather obvious propping mistake. I think I would have checked that. I'd have to say it was bad work in that case.

Could be its a wrong piece or simply Peter didnt know what he was doing when he put them together.

Im still waiting for the Hiro piece to actually fit

Read the latest installment of Beaming Beeman, the blog by Greg Beeman, director of Episodes #3, 6, and 9.
It goes on to explain how they recreated the scenes depicted, and concludes with the following:

Sot heir only human lol

Uh, no. Whatever way you arrange them, they cover the same space and the missing painting is just too big for that space.

I would make sense if the Hiro and Ando piece is from a third page, because it is definitely the last one.
Except, I haven't even seen Claire reaching out like that...did you? I guess that is another inaccurate picture and because that is already vague it looks like next to nothing like this painting when you see it.

But I suspect it is just a mistake. This seems to go to deep, if they have another page and how should Isaac come up with all those paintings in the meantime? Nah.

I've a feeling that the reason why the paintings look wrong, is that the "mission" isn't completed.

Just a hunch... but I think their main goal was to save Jackie. Perhaps a chain of events which starts from her death ultimately results in the nuclear explosion. How or why this happens is beyond me.

For me, I can only see 1 reason they need to save Claire is that Sylar steals brains. It was shown earlier that if Claire's body isn't "complete", she can't regenerate. So if Sylar steals her brain she can't regenerate. But other than this reason, there shouldn't be any real cause for concern if Sylar tries to kill Claire cos she just won't die.

Well, just my 2 cents.

Well from the looks of it he is trying to ditch the drugs and still use his power. If he is able to do this the pictures he comes up with may be more acurate

Actually, the future he painted was definitive. It happened exactly as painted; only a misinterpretation of who was who made the whole thing seem like an attempt to change the future.

Consider:

Isaac's paintings are only detailed enough, character-wise, to know generally who is whom. The picture that we assumed showed Claire dead actually showed Jackie's death; they are both blonde cheerleaders and the details aren't all there (especially since Peter finished the painting,) so the mistaken identity is pretty easy.

If the dead cheerleader shown in the painting that Peter finished was supposed to be Claire, then Isaac drew two outcomes to the same event before Peter ever knew to change anything. Remember, he painted Peter's "death" weeks earlier in the piece that Simone took to auction. Why would he paint both Claire's death and Peter's death if only one or the other would occur? He didn't, he painted Jackie's death.

Which means that Peter's involvement was fate. Which makes Future Hiro's return both unnecessary and yet necessary. Isaac paints the future, and his precognition this time around would take into account the fact that a traveler is going to come back from the future to tip Peter off. Fate. The characters thought to change it, and yet instead they ran headlong into it; it is a classic literary device.

Monday we shall find out most likely whats up with hiro

if the pic of Hiro & Ando is moved to a different page, there is in fact room for the dead-Peter painting

first row: Claire looking worried; Peter and locker doors
second row: Claire running up steps
third row: dead Peter

next page, first panel: Hiro and Ando arrive a little too late ...

But we saw that it takes time for her to get back on her feet. She was tossed into a cement wall and killed. It took her a while to regenerate and at anytime Sylar could have had his way with her. Now he was occupied with Jackie at the time but we know Claire?s regeneration ability takes time to work (just like when Peter was using it).

We only know the general focus of the painting.

We don't know if it's Jackie in Peter's or not.

We don't know if it was Sylar or Peter overshadowing Claire.

And we don't know what time it is in Hiro and Ando's painting.

Plus, as far as saving the Cheerleader goes, Future Hiro doesn't know about the painting of Dead Cheerleader, so he probably meant that Sylar would have killed Claire too.

From the looks of it Sylar didnt know Clair was the one he was looking for. Keep in mind even Peter thought Jackie was the cheerleader because of the news articles and such he was looking at in the hallway when he first bumped into Clair.

Consider this also:

What if as someone said earlier in the thread that it's not finished. Let's say that it was chronological. What if the event only started at homecoming but that's only the start of the event. Maybe Sylar will somehow escape and go after the cheerleader again. Just like we all assumed that Claire was the cheerleader and not Jackie, maybe we all assumed that the whole event happened at homecoming. The other scenes could've been from a couple of days later or something.. we'll see eventually.

There would be a need for another homecoming since the banner Hiro is under says homecoming
