The creepy wallpaper is back! Tracy enters Uhura's house in pearls and a power skirt suit to find a coffin and photos of Niki everywhere. She opens the coffin lid to see Niki's face, closes it abruptly, and whirls around to a stunned Micah. "Mom?" The kid's smart and realizes Tracy is not Niki (even though she is!). Micah reveals that Niki was super-strong, like the Hulk, and asks Tracy if she has powers, too. He offers to find out more about her identity using his ability to talk to machines and cross-referencing everything, including the Heroes wiki. Micah, what the hell are you doing with a Dell? You should be using a Macbook Pro, kiddo, Dells are for noobs. His hand pulls up a bajillion documents and reveals that she and Niki were born on the same day at the same hospital in California, by a Dr. Zimmerman. Micah gives Tracy a huge hug, and it's actually a pretty touching scene. Am I getting soft?
On a side note, I went snowboarding at Mountain High during the writer's strike months ago (mid-February), and guess who was in front of me in the line for the bunny slopes? Noah Gray-Cabey, i.e. Micah! I tried to pry some secrets out of him, but mostly I was astonished at how much his curls resembled an American Girl doll's hair. We also took an obligatory photo together.

"I believe this is my briefcase!" Hiro pleads with The Haitain. "I will ask for an usher!" The Haitain's having none of it, and Hiro keeps asking for an usher. I believe he's being literal. Fortunately, Ando's not a retard and bonks The Haitain over the head with a sandbag, knocking him down the stairs. The BFFS bicker back and forth a bit more about how Daphne's gotten to Ando (she hasn't), and Ando threatens to take off on his own.
"Sometimes I wonder why I bring you along at all," Hiro says smugly. WHOOSH, the briefcase is jacked by Daphne, and Hiro finds he's left with popcorn. Man, I'd rather win a gold medal in the Special Olympics than be Hiro right now. His reaction time is embarrassingly slow, and Ando even has time to scream "Hiro, freeze time!" Thanks, Captain Obvious. Daphne for the win!
Why do they still watch silent movies here? Not complaining, but I was hoping to squeeze a viewing of Rachel Getting Married.
Unfortunately, The Haitian's revived himself, and all Hiro can do is offer the scary man some popcorn like a good little cafe maid.
Villains Vault
Bennet makes his entrance and is immediately grabbed by Knox, who immediately complains that Bennet took away his life by sticking him in Super-Guantanamo. Hmm, someone's voting Obama in November. Knox says it's his turn to be judge, jury and executioner, but Peter, enraged, does a super-scream that sends Flint flying into the wall. Awesome, sonic boom!
Present Peter yelps, "Listen to me!" and directs it at Knox, sending copy machines, desks, and office debris in his and Bennet's way. However, just when you think Knox is going to get killed by a red Swingline stapler or something equally mundane, Future Peter's stopped time. The special effects team blew their wad on the suspended animation effect that I love so much, and I thank them for it. Knox is bent backwards, Matrix-style, while Bennet just looks like he's watching the Honey, I Shrunk The Kids: 4D show at Disneyland, right at the part where the giant dog sneezes on you. You know what I'm talking about, don't you?
Future Peter walks past all the office stuff, places his hand on Jesse's larynx and pops Present Peter out, just like popping out a Gchat box. Present Peter is naturally suspicious of Future Peter, but they teleport away, leaving Bennet in the hands of the REAL Jesse and Knox and Flint now. *Facepalm* Good work, geniuses, you win the Darwin Award in my book. Way to leave one of the best characters in absolute peril. Oy vey, fuck shit fuck. Bennet realizes that he really shouldn't have slept with Jesse's girl back in the day, as Jesse grabs him.
That was the tightest body ever.

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.
