Let’s cut to the chase. This episode is entertaining, but not as good is the other episodes for season 3. The story still feels like nothing has happened. The twists, you can already predict from previous episodes, as if they’re slowly peeling away a banana peel, but you already know what’s inside the banana peel. And if you don’t know what’s inside, then I suggest you try it. It’s filled with Potassium!
Hit the jump to reveal more bananas 😉
Ok, Spoiler Alert!
Daphne
So far the most interesting revelation to me would be Daphne and Linderman. It would seem that Linderman is using Daphne to retreive the formula. From what we know so far, Linderman isn’t real, and only in Nathan’s mind. Now it would seem that he’s in Daphne’s mind too. Now Daphne’s job is to recruit Specials for Linderman’s plan.
Daphne finds out later that Linderman isn’t really there by trying to whack him with her arms. We soon find out that it was Matt Parkman’s dad that was manipulating her mind, and in turn, probably doing the same to Nathan.
Mohinder Suresh
I was really hoping Suresh wouldn’t turn evil, but he keeps on digging himself a grave. It’s bad enough he killed his neighbor, now he has to kidnap and murder drug dealers too? He’s gone too far. He’s more like Jeff Goldblum from The Fly now, all crazy and creepy.
And if that wasn’t bad, Maya, the hotness, finds out what Mohinder has been doing, and calls him a monster. Mohinder responds with, “I wish you haven’t said that.” So now she’s all wrapped up like a burrito. Yummy!
Peter Petrelli
Peter’s screen time is really short. He shows up in Sylar’s cell, tries to kill him, but Angela, their mother, shows up and he tries to kill her too. Peter wanted to find out the truth if Sylar is related to him, and what is his mother’s true motives. As he was about to kill her, Sylar stops Peter and knocks him out.
Hiro and Ando
So Hiro and Ando is still looking for the formula. Their only clue is Adam Monroe, an immortal that Hiro buried in the grave. Hiro gets Adman out of the grave, and tries to convince Adam to help their cause. These scene is pretty funny, because Adam says “What’s in it for me?” Then Hiro locks him in the casket again. This repeats like about one more time, hehe.
Adam tricked Hiro and Ando at a bar, having Hiro get knocked out by a bartender that was trying to hit Adam. Adam escapes but is subdued by Benjamin “Knox” Washington, with his super strength. Later on, Hiro decides to join Daphne’s group. But first, he has to show her that he’s tough, by killing Ando. He does so, with a sword, and Ando falls to the ground. (You know Hiro’s going to go back in time and save him.)
So now that Hiro and Benjamin is recruited, Daphne’s next recruit will be Parkman. I think this sucks, because I really wanted to see Daphne and Hiro together, but judging from last week’s episode, she gets it on with Parkman. Booooo!!
Nathan Petrelli and Tracy Strauss
After Nathan saved Tracy and then sleeping with her, Nathan’s belief that his gift is from God collides with Tracy’s story that they were created by a doctor. So Nathan visits his mother, and then gets mad at her for using him, his brother, and Claire as test subjects, and storms off with Tracy. Through that encounter, we also find out that Tracy is Nikki’s sister. Meh.
Later on, Angela Petrelli has a vision that her husband, kills Tracy, Peter, and Nathan. I think I’m starting to hate the whole family now. You got an emo, a clueless politician, a crazy mother, and a half-dead dad.
Claire, HRG and Sylar
This one not that interesting. Pretty much Claire wants to be a hero, so she goes after a guy that can create a vortex and suck things inside it. She zaps him and later finds out that he’s not such a bad fella afterall. He just wanted to see his family, but was captured by the organization and sent to Level 5 for killing a man, which we find out he did by accident through some neighborhood dispute.
Vortex dude later tries to meet up with his family, but they flaked on him, making him sad man. HRG wanted to use him to kill Sylar, but Vortex man decides to off himself instead of becoming a murderer. What a noble dude.
In the end
We find out that Parkman’s dad is working for Mr. Petrelli, who is still alive, but is in a hospital bed. Oh and also Meredith Gordon, Claire’s real mom, is being manipulated by another villian, I’ll call him the Puppeteer. He makes her kiss him, ooh la la!
Overall, it was decent. This kept me thinking though, Peter and Sylar has done a role reversal. Peter is becoming a murderer, while Sylar is trying to change his ways. So we know who the monsters are, but then who are the angels? I’m going to have to say Maya and Daphne.

As this episode unfolded it was easy to see the foreshadowing that Arthur was behind Pinehearst, the mind version of Linderman and Daphne’s theft of ½ the formula. I didn’t see the Maury part coming though because I thought he was trapped in his own mind still.

And more importantly, I can’t figure out who is the good guy – Angela or Arthur? Or is it a matter of the lesser of two evils? Who do we cheer for? Who are the real villains?

The Claire storyline was pretty boring except for revealing The Puppet Master (Eric Doyle). I have a feeling we are going to see much more of him.
And Mohinder transformation is just getting gross. However, I’m afraid of what he’s going to do to Nathan and Tracy next week.

I have a feeling the future Daphne has with Matt will never happen, because Matt probably won’t let her die. so still some chance of Hiro/Daphne romance action to come, episode 12 apparnetly has some twists and turns to surprise. so there may be some there, though it will take a lot to cover over Charlie. Daphne is just the girl to do it i think. 🙂

I don’t really care about the rest, sad but I only watch because of Daphne and Hiro…they really need to put those two together, like an alturnate future to the one with Daphne and Matt, where Daphne leaves the company and marries Hiro and has a family with him instead.

So, Elle is related to Claire, Sylar is her uncle and Nikki is the first of identical triplets? so it goes Nikki, Tracy and Barbara? am I right or is that really confusing! not to mention Matt’s future with Daphne, so Daphne is told to recruit Hiro, he agrees, kills Ando and then what? no offence but Heroes is really confusing
like ultra. though I don’t think Matt is cute enough nor hot enough for Daphne, and Hiro is SO cute. not really hot but hes cute as a button! and plus there like Yin and Yang, Hiro has black hair and Daphne has white! get it?

Yeah, all these heroes being related to each other can get confusing. Pretty soon, the whole cast is going to be related to each other.
Monhinder is Nathan’s cousin who is HRG’s other brother and HRG finds out he’s Claire’s real father and that Nathan is really HRG. My head’s going to explode!!!
Like I said before, they need to focus on the few, and bring back that awe and wonder of what it’s like to have powers.

They just have to put Daphne with Hiro, because Matt being the sweetie he is most definately won’t let Daphne die, and besides if lots of the public want it, the producers will give! Its just how it works!
WE WANT DAPHNE TO MARRY HIRO! WE DEMAND HIRO/DAPHNE ROMANCE ACTION!

But they’ll scrutinize very very closely any monies for the 9-11 HEROES!
