".07%" is the nineteenth episode in the first season of the NBC science fiction drama series Heroes. It is the first episode which includes a narration read by someone other than Sendhil Ramamurthy (Mohinder Suresh), in this case by Malcolm McDowell (Mr. Linderman). The title is a reference to information in this episode in which it is revealed the bomb will wipe out .07% of the world's population.

Nathan Petrelli and Mr. Linderman discuss Nathan's future and the prophesied explosion. Linderman explains how he is looking to provide humanity with a "pathway to a more permanent peace." Nathan is horrified to learn that this plan involves using his brother Peter as the catalyst for an explosion that will kill a majority of the people in New York City. Linderman states that, even if half the population of New York City was killed in the blast, it would only represent less than .07% of the world's population, an acceptable loss.

Claire Bennet is still in shock from having learned that Angela Petrelli is not only her grandmother, but has known of her existence all along, even when Nathan thought she was dead after the fire. Angela strongly implies that she was a former hero and has powers. She informs Claire that it is not safe for her to be in New York City right now. She tells Claire that the two of them will soon be leaving for Paris until after the events that are coming play themselves out.

Peter manages to halt Sylar's telekinetic attack, healing his forehead and flinging Sylar across the room with telekinesis. Mohinder, who is pinned to the ceiling by Sylar's telekinesis, falls to the floor when Sylar's concentration is broken. Sylar is soon back on his feet and about to attack Peter when Peter becomes invisible, to Sylar's surprise. Sylar uses his telekinesis to fling shattered glass in all directions across the room. One of the shards stops in mid-air, dripping blood. Peter reappears, and we see that it is embedded in the back of his skull. He falls to the floor, lifeless.
