Jesse looks exactly like one of the Lil' Homies inaction figures my friends and I would play with in elementary and middle school. We get some neat mirror action as we see Peter, but any and all reflections show Jesse. And by Jesse, I mean Weevil. Francis Capra, you need to get yourself un-typecast as the resident cholo.
Too bad The Wire's over.
"Maybe we should come back at night, it'll be empty, " stammers Present Peter. Token black guy asks him what's wrong, because Token can feel Jesse/Peter's fear. Fine, Token's real name is Knox, and I assume he attended the school by the same name. The villains stroll into a bank, where The German, who looks like the poor man's Bennet (glasses and all) flips all the shades closed thanks to his Magneto-like powers of manipulating steel.
Flint gets ready with some blue balls of fire. How punny these writers are.
Back at Level 5, The Company
Bennet returns in a full suit, to counter Mama P's Tweed of Evil. She smiles, and gently chastises him for not coming back earlier, informing him the majority of the prisoners he put away escaped. Mama P's full of clichés, and Bennet cuts her off mid-sentence to assert that he's not re-enlisting, he's just there to put the psychopaths away and return to his family. "And Claire," grins Mama P. They start walking down the hallway as she informs him his partner, The Haitian, is on a pick-up assignment, and is unavailable.
No I won't impregnate you. Stop asking! How many babiy daddies do you need?
Some lackeys wheel a gurney out, with Bridget's body covered by a sheet. Of course, the sheet's bloody around the brain area, but Bennet and Mama P hardly miss a stride during their West Wing walk and talk. It just goes to show how hardened these two characters are to the harsh realities of their lives and positions, that sacrifices are made every day "for the good of mankind." Yes, well, if mankind stopped using MySpace, maybe they'd be worth saving.
Bennet reminds her of the Company rule, "One of us, one of them" as Mama P stops in front of the cell. We see blood oozing from a sink and Sylar washing his hands. He smiles as he looks up to see Bennet in the window. Claire is going to throw herself under a bus when she finds out.
Come on. A Samsung Instinct? You're so not gonna be able to use iTunes with that.
Back at the last remaining branch of Lehman Brothers, if Lehman Brothers actually had physical banks
Knox tells Peter/Jesse to calm the eff down, while The German/Magneto picks the vault's lock. Flint's filling moneybags full of cash, while a bank teller named Holly tries to go for the emergency button. Flint starts to manhandle her, and Jesse/Peter tries to stop him. Just in the nick of time, The German gets the vault open. Knox is on to Peter.
Bennet House of Waffles
Leggo of my eggo, Meredith! Mama B pours some syrup and plunks a plate of waffle, bacon and eggs in front of Claire's biological mama. Jessalyn Gilsig is awesome, as she Zippos her finger up to light a Marlboro. Lyle, who's become one of those promise ring-toting, abstinence-only Vacation Bible School camp nerds who think it's not really sex if you do it up the butt, immediately narcs to Mama B. Womp womp womp, smoking kills.
Claire bounces into the kitchen, flouncing her hair. Ooh, someone went to assertiveness training over the weekend. She refuses to go back to school, and Mama B insists that she does. Claire exchanges a knowing glance with Meredith, who begins to explain that she understands. The tension is so thick you could cut it with a knife, or whatever Sylar uses to pry skulls open. There's some nice friction between Mama B, Claire, and Meredith, as Claire starts to realize her adopted mom might not actually get it. Anywho, we'll see who wins the Battle of the Moms.
He's a tattle tail! Set him on fire!
Mama P's office, The Company

Awesome again T.Vo. I was already laughing just reading the title. Anything that's associated with GOB never stops being funny.

Between this episode and the last one, seems like Mama Petrelli's powers are sluttiness and super fertility. The question now is who is Sylar's bio-daddy? Linderman??? Kato?? Matt's Dad? Are we eventually gonna see all of the heroes connected to each other through Mama P's womb?

Btw T.Vo, where I'm from, being in the marching band is cool - especially if you're the drum major or on the drumline. ;) The halftime shows are more popular than the games.
