Anyway, he answers Elle's cell and it's Papa Petrelli asking what happened with Claire. Sylar tells him that he knows he's not his real dad so he can kiss his pasty white ass if he thinks Sy's gonna help him ever again. Papa insists that HRG was lying, but Sylar says that now he knows how he can find out the truth. Then he shows off his new address book, which has all these names of people with powers. He highlights Sue Landers. How does he know what ability she has or if she even has one? It's not like he hacked into Elle's Facebook profile or anything. Sorry. Logic.
He's gonna be really disappointed when he finds out this is just a lady Elle gets a ride to Curves from.
Sylar hangs up on Papa P and then douses Elle with lighter fluid. Where the hell did he get lighter fluid? Did Hiro let them stop by a 7-11 on their way to punishment beach? He would, that wuss. Anyway, he sets Elle on fire and I take a moment to try not to cry like a big girl. Love you, V! PS Sylar should never be shot from below. Yikes.
Pig roast.
I'm expecting a gift certificate to Old Navy. Bitch.
Donate to St. Jude's Hospital so this kid can get some more cute headscarves and a better celebrity for Christmas.
Primatech - Mama P and the Haitian are trying to talk Peter into taking a giant handgun to shoot his father with before he destroys the world. Peter, you know, the guy who couldn't get one shot in last week with A FUCKING MACHINE GUN. Peter tries to look all confounded and confused by what choice to make, but he's a really, really bad actor.
Oh shit I hope I remembered to close the garage door when I left the house this morning.
He takes the gun. Over at Pinehurst, Tracy is telling Papa P that they're all set with the Department of Defense. That girl works fast. I credit the highly inappropriate for the office skin tight bright orange dress. Nathan comes in and is surprised to see her there. She explains that she's just looking for opportunities for him, but she doesn't have to do much convincing. Nathan tells Papa P that he's here to take over the program at Pinehurst. Papa P's all WTF that's a complete change of character for no plausible reason and Nathan just shrugs and says "Kring is just making shit up as he goes along. Roll with it k and let's all just try to get our mortgages paid?" Papa concedes and tells Tracy to show him around and let him in on all their secrets. Who wants to bet that there are chocolate rivers and oompa loompas? Best twist ever: Papa P is Charlie from Willie Wonka all grown up.
Tracy takes Nathan through the hallways explaining shit to him, and it's hard for me to understand her because all I can hear is the giant crease/fold on the front of her highly inappropriate for the office skin tight bright orange dress. Is it sewn on? Is her skirt scrunching up? It's making me insane.
That skirt is built to be hiked up. Know your audience. And what Senator wears Huey, Dewey, and Louie bangs?
Tracy says not to be mad about her consorting with his dad. She's only looking out for Nate's best interests so he can become President and she can be his wife and eventually Senator from New York and then Secretary of State and then Master of the Universe. He's like woah why don't you just not try getting your third character of the series killed this season, k?
As they walk down the hall, she explains the program. "A pharmaceutical random businessless company called Worthington Labs Pinehurst announces that it has developed an inoculation serum to permanently suppress grant the X-gene hero gene that gives mutants heroes their powers, offering the so-called "cure" enhancement to any mutant who wants it person they want to; the cure serum is derived from a mutant boy white girl named Jimmy Claire. While some mutants heroes are interested in the cure serum, including the X-Men's Rogue Nathan and Suresh, many others are horrified by the announcement. In response to the news, the X-Men's heroes' adversary Magneto Papa P raises an army."

Ummmm... How did Papa Petrelli get to the past to take Hiro's powers/the catalyst without having Hiro's powers to time travel??? Did he take them in Africa when he reverted Hiro to a 10 yr. old? How did he get to Africa? Shit, I should probably not try to overthink this, huh?
Also... Marine with nostrils = Mary's gay boyfriend Chad from Saved!!! So exciting!

He had the time travel power because PETER had it (from Hiro) and he stole Peter's powers. And I'm assuming he knew Hiro/Claire were going to be there at that time because...he can paint the future...i guess?

Great recap. I especially liked the extra comments for the commercials this time. Just a few things Papa Petrelli got the regeneration powers at the beginning of the season from Adam Monroe. Second while Hiro lost his powers I don't think he has reverted to 10 again. Lastly thank you for explaining how Petrelli Sr. could teleport, I never even considered that he had Peter's powers and I was finding that confusing.

long time reader, first time poster. i had to register to say: does anyone else think Sue Landers was kind of a Sarah Palin-lookalike?

Love the recap, Flipit! Hilarious as always.
So funny about the WaMu blurb - I just found out that everyone at my company that banks with them DID NOT GET THEIR DIRECT DEPOSIT TODAY. WaMu claims a "system upgrade", I say FAIL.

Loved the recap flip! I too got teary when Hiro growed up after mom's Regenerist kiss. Absolutely adored the cross out paragraph--too funny!!!
Hope they answer your prayers, but there's only one left this season--you must be so relieved.
And I regularly let people strap me to chairs and inject me, helps pass the time, ya know!
Meet ya in the caf, I hear the jello is kick ass today!!!!
xoxoxo

Why am I still watching? Why are you still recapping? We are all gluttons for punishment, I guess. The story starts to get good and they tag-team in another writer & nothing makes sense again. He gets tired of making things up & in comes another writer & off we go in another direction..........arghhhh!
But the one shining light is your recaps. They make more sense than this show!!! (wait, is that a compliment?)
