I'm not sure how confusion has arisen, but I'll try to summarize:
- there are 4 seperate threads, though I assume they are all connected, or will connect.
- In the future, those with abilities are hunted down, experimented on, tortured, et cetera, and are forced "underground." This is a direct result of Nathan's public reveal of his power of flight. For some, yet to be revealed reason, a future Claire chooses to kill Peter, who of course stops time to avoid being shot, takes Claires gun, and travels back in time to the press conference, and shoots Nathan.
- Future Peter then stashes the gun in a utility closet, runs for a hiding spot (why not turn invisible?), and is pursued by Present Peter. The two Peters enter the men's bathroom and we aren't shown what transpires. The result, it is later revealed, is that Future Peter, with the use a power that isn't fully explored, is able to place the physical and mental being of Present Peter inside of another individual. Future Peter chooses a criminal super human housed on the mysterious level 5 of the Odessa Company facility, as it is the most secure location he can think of. It seems while in the other body, the consciousness of Present Peter exerts itself over the body of the criminal.
- Though another power, Future Peter is able to alter his appearance, becoming a doppleganger for Present Peter. However, in a Quantum Leap-style decision, the villain who the real Present Peter now inhabits, is only seen in reflections - Milo the actor portrays the villain/Peter combo when seen on screen. The exception to this comes early in the episodes, before the reveal that Present Peter is indeed inside the villain's body. At that point, we are led to believe it's simply the insane ramblings of a criminal.
- Thus, we have two Peters in the storyline: One is from the future, and pretending to be Present Peter so that he may manipulate/monitor events in an attempt to prevent the future we glimpsed. He has a scar when appearing as himself, but otherwise looks like the Present Peter when blending in. The other Peter is Present Peter, who is currently locked in the body of a villain with sonic powers.
- Future Peter, as part of his attempt at altering the future, told Claire (all characters are assumed to be the present forms) to stay home, presumably to keep her safe from anything that may transpire following the incident at the press conference. However, this was met with disaster as Claire was visited by Sylar, who was able to gain Claire's ability to heal. Presumably, if Claire hadn't been told to stay home, Sylar would have walked away "empty handed."
- Other stuff happens with this thread, but those are the major points that I can see people getting messed up on.
- the other 3 threads are: Matt, having been tossed into Africa by Future Peter (via another new power, or an advanced form of space/time manipulation), meets a shaman or spirit guide of some sort, who seems to have a Mendez-like ability to paint the future. Hiro, meanwhile, is on a mission to regain a piece of some formula he was charged by his Father to protect. Mohinder, in an attempt to "cure" Maya of her power, has discovered the true source of the abilities, and injected himself with a concoction he made from that research. Consequently, he is now exhibiting signs of insect-like powers. It is unclear, but possible, that the formula Hiro is attempting to get back, is just what Mohinder has discovered on his own: the ability to give powers to normal people.
cheers!
