"Peter's not gonna give up, you know," says Sylar. Papa Petrelli admits that they all have revenge in their blood, and he'd really have it no other way. They marvel that Peter managed to survive the fall at all, which leads me to believe that Sylar is still figuring things out. He saved Peter's life, and he's playing the game long enough with his dad in order to see what to do next.
Peter Petrelli Lives
Nathan and Tracy show up at the apartment where Peter's trying to recuperate in a bed. Claire, it's called an emergency room. Use it. Claire sets her eyes on Tracy for the first time, and I'm sure even she's like, "Goddamn, I thought this woman died awhile back? Along with DL, right?"
Peter quickly spills the beans on Papa Petrelli being alive, to Nathan's shock/amazement. Also, Papa Petrelli will kill them all. He's absolutely right. Nathan's incredulous and in disbelief that someone could be in a coma for that long or dupe his family into thinking he was dead. Hello, you have powers of flying and your girlfriend can freeze things and your brother can pick up anyone's power, buddy - you can afford to believe in some crazy things. Claire chimes in with the ever-insightful, "Dads aren't always what they seem," as a jab to both of her daddies.
Nathan demands to know where Papa Petrelli is, and Peter refuses to tell him. Unfortunately, Claire blabs that everyone's partying at Pinehearst. Peter tries to get Nathan to promise not to go directly to the source of evil, but we know how well all of *those* pleas work.
Tracy recognizes Pinehearst as the biotech firm that she's been consulting at for over a year, as Peter tries to reason in vain with Nathan. Nathan tries to reassure his brother, saying he'll just call the justice department to shut it down. LULZ NO, Pinehearst is probably privately owned, Senator. And you'll need a little more than a phone to just shut down a company, especially one that's so ubiquitous it's basically the Google of Heroesland (Primatech's more of a Cisco). Seriously, EVERYONE works for that place or gets roped into joining or at least has a friend there. I bet Pinehearst even offers childcare and all the free Naked juice you could ever want. Sweet. Besides, we know Nathan's going to stupidly fly into the place and demand his father stop his nefarious plans. And fail. And maybe die.
Desert of Dung
Black Isaac is concocting a recipe that's been in his family for thousands of years. Yes, well, thousands of years ago, you didn't have Hot Pockets, so maybe you should try eating some of those instead. Black Isaac chastises Hiro for not going back in time, and Hiro continues to insist it screws up the timeline (it probably does). Well, good thing for this delicious mixture of paste from tree bark and dung. You'll never think Slim Jims are disgusting ever again. Hiro chokes it down, proclaiming it "Derishush!" while Ando turns his nose up at it. "Spirit walk sounds much safer than time travel," sighs Hiro. And now what?
Don't eat poo. Duh.
You wait for your eyes to glaze over with white and topple over, that's what. This was all a ruse to steal Pikachu's wallet, FYI. Will Hiro ever come back from his spirit walk, or will he just get distracted by more boobs? Why don't they ever hand powers (and common sense) to heroes who can use them quickly and efficiently? There can only be one Petrelli to rule them all. What company would you invest in, Primatech or Pinehearst? My money's still on Peter Piper and his Pickled Pepper Plant.

I'm only on the first page and I'm already really loving this recap, Tvo. And I'm really sad about your job! :( It's good you learned that lesson about not calling your boss a jackass, though. Save that for when he/she leaves the room, silly. Passive agressive fun!
Okay, back to read the rest. I hope you find a new job quickly, and hopefully without selling your soul.

I would invest in Primatech—they make blank canvases on which to put my hopes and dreams.

Great recap. Molly btw was disposed of somewhere at the beginning of the season. It was a one sentence explanation, I think over the phone. I imagine they wanted to get rid of the child actors since they are obviously too costly with the rest of the bloated cast.
I think there has to be at least one hero killed each episode. Shouldn't be too hard if Sylar and Papa Petrelli have even temporarily joined forces especially with Peter out of the mix.

Aw, thanks, zbird --fortunately, I didn't sass my boss or hide anyone's stapler in a cake mold filled with Jell-O. I'm just leaving to pursue writing full-time. However, I have fantastic timing, don't I?
Fitz, you're right. Mohinder appears to have dumped her somewhere at the beginning of the season, but they brought Molly back for that future segment with Parkman/Daphne and their future baby -- which leads me to wonder if Primatech/Pinehearst will do battle for her in the future.
I think Sylar's secretly pledging his allegiance to Mama P, but I'm guessing Knox will get knocked off pretty soon.
