Time stops freezing and Ando is shocked to find that he's been cut a bit. He immediately suspects Hiro, which I find hilarious and completely irrational. Hiro proudly exclaims that he managed to put a tracking device under the ribbon in order to get to Daphne's destination before she does and grab the formula. Yes, but you could've just gotten it two seconds ago. Ando's peeved that Hiro left him out of the plan, and I'm a little pissed that Hiro didn't execute things better. Then again, Hiro fumbles his way through life, like a fifteen year old clumsily trying to undo his date's bra clasp.
We re-establish the whole tension between BFFs where Ando is dismayed that Hiro didn't tell him the full plan, and that Hiro keeps justifying it by saying he doesn't trust Ando. Guys, just get a relationship therapist, okay?
The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands
Mohinder and Maya, post-coitus
Hmm, they're not really spooning. For a second I was concerned that Mohinder accidentally killed Maya during the sex due to his newfound superstrength. Tim Kring doesn't love me that much (yet), so she's probably still alive. Maya, it's only because of your boobs and that bodacious body of yours, so don't let it inflate your ego. Mohinder looks totally ravaged. Considering he hasn't gotten any in two seasons, he's doing well for himself. He stumbles out of bed and looks at himself in the mirror. If the creepy lighting is any indication, the serum is about to backfire. Hmm. What exactly happens when you sleep with a girl whose mascara tracks can kill everyone in a 5+ mile radius? Do you think his superhuman strength made superhuman sperm and now she's pregnant with the Spawn of Serum? The possibilities are endless, but hey, Mohinder's skin is falling off in patches. Leprosy. So hot right now.
Uh oh. He turned into a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. So help us.
Desert of Insanity
Parkman's still crawling around in the desert. He's convinced he's going insane, as he sees a turtle and using his powers of telepathy, believes he hears it telling him that the plant will give him water. Great, now we have a Dr. Doolittle in the house.
He clutches for the plants and squeezes what liquid he can out of them, exclaiming, "THANK YOU, TURTLE! YOU SAVED MY LIFE!"
Just as we are convinced that Parkman can actually talk to animals the way Bubbles on the PowerPuff Girls can talk to squirrels, a human voice asks, "Why are you talking to a turtle?"
Parkman looks up to see an African shaman with a hipster scarf. The talking turtle theory is laid to rest. The African warrior reassures Parkman that he knows who Britney Spears is, and that America is a big place. Africa is, too. He forces Parkman to get up and walk and offers him water. Parkman sloppily gorges himself and notes that there is no cell phone reception. "We should've gone with Sprint," says the shaman/spirit guide. Someone's wearing their lollerskates today. Parkman tries to tell the guy that he was sent here against his will, and the African spirit dude acknowledges it is not right that he is here, either. He knows things! Also, Parkman sounds like Putty from Seinfeld right now.
Finally! Africa discovered houndstooth! It was only a matter of time.
The future is clearly changing. Parkman points out that he saw the rock painted with the Earth and the Heroes symbol. Somehow, the spirit guide knows the future is changing, too. I wonder what year it is, and if it's time for the Space Olympics.
Casa de Bennet, Costa Verde
Claire comes back home to discover Dad's back on his laptop. The reunion between Bennet and Claire is touching, but short-lived. I really enjoy the relationship between the two. Claire's excited to have him back, but wises up to the real purpose of his return when she spies his gun. He's not staying. Bennet says he can't ignore what just happened, and that he's the only one who can fix it. Why do all these people insist on not taking backup in their attempts to save the world?

Okay -- I've only gotten this far: "Text away, engineer guy. She doesn't care." And OMG I laughed really loudly. And then I looked around guiltily. Maybe too soon? Actually, it was just really freaking clever and funny and so is the rest of your writing T.Vo. Oh, and my DH loves that baby commercial too.
Okay, time to post this and open another window so I can finish reading your hilarious recap in the 15 minutes it takes this to post to freakin TVGasm.
XOXOXO

You shouldn't be so mad at your computer. The blue screen of death allowed you the opportunity to be the superfamous celebrity that everyone's waiting for at the party but is being exceptionally fashionably late. Everyone gets all nervous and fidget-y as more and more time passes, until you arrive and there's a collective sigh of relief because you're the only reason we came anyway.
Anyway, point of my comment, I'm an utter nerd and your re-cap was totally worth the wait. Provided me tons of laughs and giggles, which I really needed right about now.

The reporter guy that confronted "Tracy" in the parking ramp also played the hero in the old TV show The Greatest American Hero.

NIce to read you again, Tvo, very enjoyable, and interesting to see where these plot holes are taking us.
Love Mama P!!!! I don't mind if Mohinder pops like a giant zit, but call me crazy, can't Peter at any time go further back and restart it again . . .
I don't want to say much here, as I'm afraid I'll talk about the other episodes . . . can't wait to catch up!
