Later that night, over lentil soup, Mama P asks Papa P if he still really knows her after all these years. He's like "I thought I trained you not to talk. And where's the pot roast? And since when are you an old white lady? Where's Daniqua?" She covers with a quick badnkadonk, but he's still a little suspicious. Especially because she keeps talking all creepily. The Haitian is lurking in the background. Remind me to never have dinner at this house. Uncomfortable. This is why most families eat in front of the TV. Mama stops talking in puzzles and finally comes out and confronts Papa about trying to kill Nathan. He's like "that's what this is about? BFD! He's married to a Dixie Chick. He doesn't need to work!" Then he falls to the ground. Mama P poisoned him. She snaps her fingers, rolls her head, and creepily utters "ba donk. A. Donk." Someone really needs to teach her what that means.

As she instructs the Haitian on how to clean up her mess, Nathan comes in and finds his dad. He calls the hospital. For whatever reason, Mama P doesn't take his phone and have the Hatian just erase Nathan's head and let Papa die. I guess that would have changed the future, and this show is confusing enough as it is.

Elle and HRG get a Pinkberry together. He's psyched that he knows how Sylar steals powers now, but she's still mad that she missed Frasier. It was the one where Niles confronts a bully from high school! She says that Sylar had a soul and could have been saved and he reminds her that missionaries are creepy and that's not what they do. She knows that it's a long shot that she'll ever find another date, so she's bummed to have turned the first decent guy she'd met who was willing to check out Legally Blonde the Musical back into a serial killer. Sad horns and unicorns. HRG walks off to get into a cab that Peter just exited. Suresh is driving! Best cabbie hair ever, by the way. Take note, NYC cabbies. Moisturize.

At the hospital, a doctor tells Mama and Nathan that Papa is dead. Mama says she wants him cremated right this second and offers to get it started. The doctor goes back to the hospital room, where Papa is alive, but not moving. He talks with his brain and tells the doctor to find another body to cremate. Doc says that he will and says he's sorry but Papa is permanently paralyzed. You can't tell, really, cuz Papa is making the same face he always makes.

Happy. Sad. Mad.

At his funeral, Nathan and Peter start getting sentimental and Mama P tells them to shut their yaps and stop acting like their father was the greatest thing since Rosemary Clooney. They're like when did mom turn back into a bitter white lady? We miss Daniqua!"

Hiro wakes up in the African desert. He knows everything and wants to get back to NY and warn everyone that Papa's still alive. He and Ando hear a scream. When they run out of the hut to follow the scream, they find that Enlightened Black Dude has been beheaded. Then Papa is right behind Hiro. "I hear you've been having nasty dreams about me, you perv." He grabs Hiro's head and starts his brainwashing trick. WTF? Why aren't black people ever allowed to live on this show? I hate to play the bigot card, but jesus. Tonight we've seen the deaths of Slightly Gay Eyeliner Guy and Enlightened Black Dude. I expect a gay black man with eyeliner to arrive soon to make up for this, Kring! Otherwise, one of the best episodes of the season. What did you guys think?

We need another Hero!

***You might have noticed during this recap that I am not T.Vo. I am Flipit. Sorry for the switcheroo, but T.Vo has decided to enjoy her life as a wealthy hot supermodel for awhile and leave recapping to the less genetically gifted of us. BITCH! Kidding. Love you, T! I will be taking over Heroes for the next couple of weeks until we find a replacement. This one is posted so late only because this all happened last minute, so please forgive me for that. If you'd like to submit, write up a recap of tonight's epi and send it to me at Flipit75@gmail.com. Thanks for reading!

You made this episode more exciting then it really was. (although it was the best one of this season). I will miss T.Vo. I think you should just stay at it. Doesn't everybody else?

Themiki:

This week on Heroes, we flash back to a time when Heroes didn't suck... And we make it suck.

Tadow:

Thanks for the recap flipit. I didn't love this episode so much and think we've seen better this year. But your recap was on point. Thanks for picking up the ball.

bBitz:

How DARE you suggest Meshach Taylor is gay! I say good day to you sir! GOOD DAY. (Great recap!)

mrsc:

Way to take one for the team, flipit! Love your recaps, love you!

I thought this was one of the best episodes just because it started to tie things together and it explained a lot. I also loved the Sylar and Elle story. (But I love Elle and hope she sticks around!)

Am gettng a little tired of Hiro and Ando. They are the Nikki/Jessica of this season for me.

KrispyDixie:

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA

ok, I haven't gotten to the end of the re-cap yet, but this is the FUNNIEST line EVER:

"Oooh, scary. Next he's gonna burn the shape of a My Little Pony into a HoHo."

You are a GOD, Flipit!

:D

KrispyDixie:
