Previously on Too Many Heroes, Too Little Time: If you were a little too successful in mind-sweeping yourself of season 2 and forgot how compelling this show can be, there was a nuclear showdown at Kirby Plaza which interfered with the Heroes reunion potluck. Adam vowed to get revenge on Hiro but was locked up by the Company, DL was shot by Linderman, Peter saw Wal-Mart's entire stock of body bags after the Shanti virus outbreak and realized Mama Petrelli expelled him from her uterus, then traveled back to the past as Caitlin got deported, Sylar was stabbed by Hiro but managed to slink away into the sewer, Bennet and his family fled to California -- I hope he remembered to buy a shit ton of fire insurance.

Oh Canada, present day

Peter meets Adam in the shadows of the antiques roadshow warehouse. Adam declares for the millionth time that together, they will change history. Seriously, though? Hiro is the one who can actually change history with his powers, unless Adam/Kensei is counting on four hundred years' worth of history repeating itself.

Turns out The Haitian mindwiped Peter clean, but Adam has had plenty of time to think about matters such as these and believes that the mind can repair itself especially if Peter absorbs Adam's regenerative abilities. Adam tells Peter to focus his thoughts on what matters most to him, and Peter pulls out the creased photograph of Nathan and himself. Adam tells him that it's Nathan in the photo, and we zoom in on Peter's eye, where's it's flashback time.

Signs point to glaucoma.

FOUR MONTHS AGO

It's the Kirnobyl Plaza meltdown, and Nathan insists on flying away with Peter so that New York will not explode. "You saved the cheerleader so we could save the world," says Nathan, scooping up Peter and zooming off into the stratosphere. Peter struggles and insists that Nathan let go, as Nathan's face starts melting off from the heat of Peter-nuke. He squirms away from Nathan, and goes KABOOM, lighting up the sky.

Nathan is knocked back by the force and probably can't see (I doubt eyeballs would hold up in that heat), he's falling, falling, falling until Peter scoops him up and flies his brother to safety in a patch of aloe vera plants. Hey, it's the best natural treatment for burns. When that doesn't work, he heads to the hospital...

where Niki and Micah are coincidentally sitting in the waiting room. They learn from the doctor that the bullet lodged in DL was less than an inch away from his aorta, but he's going to live. But probably not for long, because we have too many characters right now.

Peter brings in Nathan, who looks like a burnt marshmallow from Girls Scouts camp. A cop is about to file a report, but Peter goes invisible and heads through the hospital hallway. Unfortnately, he's stunned by a full blast of blue electricity from Veronica Mars (Elle), who is chastised by Bob for using such force.

Back at The Company headquarters, Elle is stroking and lightly electrocuting Peter, treating him like the boy toy many female and some male Heroes viewers lust after. "He's not a toy, Elle," Bob reminds her. Yep. He's definitely her father, or father figure at least. You can tell she was an only child. Peter freaks out and asks about his brother, Bob says that Nathan's situation is dire. Bob reveals he's an old friend of Mama and Papa Petrelli -- and tells Peter he's safe here, but Nathan is another story. The guilting begins. "You almost killed him, Peter," says Veronica Mars. They are concerned his powers are going to be hazardous to him,so they have a natural power and appetite suppressant -- The Haitain!

Our favorite former Neptune resident gets coquettish, stroking Peter's hand and making eyes at him. Isn't that PDA even slightly awkward with her father in the room?

I'd purse my lips disapprovingly, but I'm all chin.
