It would have been really great if there could have been a small scene where Daphne is taking to Arthur about Hero, Daphne says she hasn't heard from him since he was sent there, Arthur freaks out, decides to take care of it himself, teleports himself (with peter's power) to Africa. It would have helped that transition a little more
Personally I wouldn't want this scene. It was so perfectly executed, because we were just as surprised as hiro to see arthur there, which I think worked really well, and we haven't had such a surprise in a long time on the show. Having a scene explaining his presence there beforehand would have completely ruined the surprise, not to mention been pretty confusing because the only scenes that took place in present day were in africa, and that was how the viewer knew they were back in the present instead of the past.
Also, how did arthur find hiro? Like it's been said on the thread, he's the one who sent hiro to africa. Thats how he knew where hiro was.
How did Arthur know hiro was dreaming about him? Possibly his telepathy, possibly angela's precog dreaming combined with telepathy. Possibly Charles Deveaux's power through peter. Possibly he ran into and sagged the power of someone like the kid in india who was in mohinder's dreams (forgot his name) and appears in the gns a bit. Or maybe something completely different that we haven't seen, since arthur seems to have every power we've seen so far and then some.
How did Arthur sneak up on a precog? He himself is both a precog painter and a precog dreamer, which trumps just painter. And maybe part of the evolved or more advanced version of precog is to be able to mask or hide yourself from other people's precog.
