It's about time Heroes comes back. I've been so bored on Monday nights. I'm not sure how do format this since everyone seemed to be interacting so much.
Matt/Ted/Mr. Bennet: Claire pays a surprise visit to Mr. Bennett's prison cell at Primatech Paper, though he's quick to recognize that it's really Candice. Thompson stops in and cautions Bennet that he's waiting for the kill order to come down from the top. Mr. Bennett's thoughts wake Matt in his Primatech cell. Using his thoughts, Mr. Bennett gives Matt instructions on how to escape. Following Mr. Bennet's thoughts, he finds Ted and frees him from his cell. When Thompson realizes that Matt is gone, he hits a button and alarms sound throughout Primatech Paper. Ted sends out an electromagnetic pulse that shuts down the alarm system and most of the facility. Because if he thinks is different ways he makes different explosions, or something like that. They grab Bennet and safely escape from Primatech. Matt, Ted, and Mr. Bennet sit in Charlie's diner and plan their next move. Matt mentions Linderman and Bennet then realizes that Linderman is in charge of Organization XIII. Bennet says they'll travel to New York to take down the equipment used by the Company to track those with abilities, then take down Linderman. Wait...so Linderman's the head honcho? It's not some government organization?
Mohinder: We pick up where we left off oh so long ago with Peter coming to Mohinder's apartment and Sylar attacking Peter. Peter uses his abilities to throw Sylar off him and against the wall, after several attempts to cut his head open. Mohinder, no longer held by Sylar’s telekinesis, crashes down from the ceiling. As Sylar regroups, Peter turns invisible. Sylar raises hundreds of shards of glass into the air. He flings them around the room and one of the finds its mark in the back of Peter's head, instantly killing him. Mohinder manages to knock Sylar out and flee the scene with Peter’s body, after destroying the computer and the list. Yay Mohinder actually contributed something! Mohinder ends up bringing Peter's lifeless body home to the Petrelli home. Mohinder talks with Thompson about trying to stop Sylar. Thompson offers him a research position with the Company. Lets home Mohinder doesn't take it, because Thompson is much creepier than Mr. Bennet was.
Claire: Grandma Petrelli shows Claire some family photos and fills her in on her bio-father and uncle. She claims that she and her husband made "arrangements" for Claire and that she's aware of her special abilities. Grandma informs her that they're going to Paris where Claire will remain in hiding until its safe. I don't know where the Hatian disapeared to, it seemed like they picked up very shortly after they left off.
Nathan Linderman tells Nathan that he wants to heal and save the world. To demonstrate, Linderman waves his hands over some dying flowers and they return to health. Linderman has a power too! Honestly I knew what it was since I read the online comic. Linderman then reveals some of his past: he was young when he discovered his ability. He found others like him and they banded together to make a positive impact on the world, but some of them later turned bad (which isn't saying much because I don't think Linderman is all too good). The upcoming explosion in New York will only kill 0.07% of the earth's population, but it will serve to band all of humanity together in a common cause. It's Nathan's destiny to be the leader who will rally the city, the nation, and the world.
Niki/D.L./Micah: D.L. argues with Niki/Jessica about her work for Linderman. He threatens to take Micah away just as Linderman's henchman arrives to summon her to the Corinthian Casino. Linderman tells Niki that his plan to control the election unraveled and he needs to "borrow" Micah. Niki refuses to involve Micah and leaves. I think he needs Micah because he needs New York to explode and if Peter won't explode (because he thinks he's dead) then he will have Micah use his technology ability to send a nuke over there. Niki picks Micah up from school and takes him to see Linderman, only it's really Candice in disguise. And Linderman says something creepy like "How would like to save the world today?" and Micah just goes along with it.
The Petrelli House Nathan cries as he cradles Peter's body. Claire then comes downstairs to see her dead uncle. She removes the shard of glass from Peter's neck and he gasps back to life. Because she's the only one that would do it evidentially. I don't know, if it were me and I saw the huge chunk of glass sticking out of a dead loved one's head I'd pull it out. And of course Peter can't die, or else the rest of the season wouldn't work too well. After Peter has a heart-to-heart with Nathan, their mom enters the room to tell them that she's known about their abilities all along. And implys that she has powers of her own, but doesn't say for sure. Nathan has a few words with Claire, and it comes across as more creepy than sincear. He apologizes for not being there for her, but tells her that she must go to Paris until after the election.
Isaac: Isaac finishes a painting of Sylar standing behind him and he turns around to find Sylar standing behind him. Isaac knows what he's there for and soon enough, Sylar kills the painter. But not after Isaac becomes all Heroic and stands up to Sylar. Not fights him, but says he's ready to die, and doesn't give into the psycociopath part of Sylar. Before he dies he devulges that he already sent out paintings on how to stop Sylar and how to stop the bomb. Then Isaac pretty much gets crucified on his own painting and Sylar cuts his head open and takes his powers. Sylar paints a picture of Nathan as President of the United States as Isaac's dead body lies beside him. And Sylar is not a good painter at all! If we're gonna be subjected to his bad paintings give the power to someone else!
Hiro: And finally we go to Hiro Five years in the future, Hiro and Ando stand before a partially destroyed New York. Hiro resolves to discover what they did wrong so they can go back to the past and stop the city from exploding. They head to Isaac's loft and discover a complicated series of strings hanging from the ceiling with pictures of people who have special abilities. Also inside the apartment...future Hiro with his rockin' soul patch. And he’s less than thrilled to see his ‘other’ self. Next week looks like we get an entire episode of 5 years in the future. Until next time,
Namaste
