He tells Nathan that a name says a lot about a person. Nathan's all "so is that why you make people call you Big Bad Voodoo Daddy? Because you want them to think you're a god and you can play jazz?" and BBVD counters with "is that why you call yourself senator?" Then he chuckles, like that was the best comeback ever. One of his thugs drags one of the girls out of the cell and says he's selling her into slavery because she's just a stupid woman and doesn't get to choose her own fate. What is this? Mad Men? Nathan screams and yells and tries to be all manly, but Big Bad Voodoo Daddy says that Nathan's only a man, but he's a god. Then he pulls out a trumpet and starts playing "Oh When the Saints Come Marching In". But evily.
Let my peephole go!
In the lab, Suresh is reading Encycopedia Brittanica about eclipses, then he watches an online video about them. He still just can't figure it out! Suresh is probably the worst scientist ever. Has he ever done anything right? He's sitting there staring at a big post it note that has Maya's address written in big block letters. Subtle. Way to stay one step ahead of the game.
Now you're Googling shit? Get back to the cab driving, LOSER!
Jethro's keeping an eye on him, and since he no longer has nuclear stuff coming out of his hands, he's flicking a zippo at him. Oooooh. Pardon me for asking, but can't you just blow it out? Who would be scared of a zippo? Suresh, that's who. Papa P comes in and says that he better find out wtf is going on with the eclipse or else. Then Jethro jumps on Suri and puts the zippo close to his hand. Suresh screams and cries. Not kidding. What a pussy.
You think that's scary? Wait til he pulls out the safety pin.
Sylar and Elle are still hiding in the junk yard when HRG gets a call from his wife. She's freaking out because she had to take Claire to the hospital. He tries to tell her to stay calm and she asks what she's supposed to tell the police. "Tell them what I would tell them." She gets a pissy look and says "You mean lie." No. Tell them that your daughter usually can heal herself and can't die. If it makes you feel better.
In Kansas, Daphne is on crutches and Matt's like oh shit she's a gimp. She explains that she until she got her powers, she wore a black leather body suit and mask and was kept chained up in a basement until Bruce Willis came to save her during an eclipse, which is when she got her powers and her hideous bleach job. She starts her hysterical "I'm bad and don't deserve love" dreck. Matt reminds her that he's desperate and refuses to go on a diet just to get another girl. Her dad comes home and she kicks Matt out to wander the cornfields singing John Mayer songs, because you know he's cheesy like that.
Dude, the girl's on freakin' crutches. Would you please stop staring at her boobs?
In the lab, Suresh is getting a shot ready for Jethro that's supposedly gonna "track what's going on" inside his body. Jethro asks if he looks that stupid, and Suresh says yes and hits him with a microscope. Jethro jumps him and hits him multiple times in the face while Suresh screams "NOT MY FACE! IT'S IN MY CONTRACT YOU BITCH!" He starts hitting back until Jethro's knocked out. Funny, cuz Jethro's bleeding, but Suresh still looks gorgeous. He whips out a compact to check his makeup and then takes the giant post it note with Maya's address before using Jethro's Marriot Hilton Hotel key to escape.
Don't forget your free continental breakfast on your way out.
In the comic book shop in Kansas, Hiro and Ando are trying to get the 9th Wonder comic books off of Dr. Evil's tiny son and the stoner from Clueless. He gets them. That's the only ink I'm sparing on that scene.

My biggest problem with this show is that at the end of every episode, when you ask yourself 'what did we learn about the story?' the answer is usually not much.
In this one we learned that the eclipse can take away their powers, but then they come back, so it barely matters. We learned that Nathan wants to support the plan for a clone army (whoops, I mean specials army), buy we already knew that would happen because we can see the future. We learned that even though Sylar is evil, he's not so bad, no wait, he's evil, no wait...
Anyway, the point is that they just keep going over the same 2 or 3 plots they have actually figured out and beating us over the head with them like we're the semi-retarted Japanese 10 year old.
All that said, my favorite thing about this show is your recaps. And as much as I want the show to get good again, the worse it gets, the funnier the recap.
