Sylar and Elle are running around in the storeroom of the Piggly Wiggly and see on a monitor that HRG has found them. You know, those monitors that they have in the storerooms of Piggly Wiggly's. Sylar shoves Elle in an elevator and closes the door on her. She freaks out as it goes down, and Sy is left to fight HRG, who punches him a few times. "What if Claire could see you now?" I'm sure she'd really be disappointed that her dad was punching the dude who cut her head open, stole her powers, and left her empty inside, you douche. It's amazing how the absence of powers really showcases the lack of acting abilities. Sylar was so scary and creepy when he was stealing people's brains. Now he's just a really weird looking, really shit actor.
Argh! Let me go or lose your ship! Argh!
HRG's like "stop imitating my wife!" and beats him up more. Meanwhile, Claire's opened up on the operating table. They just pulled the same fake open Claire body from season 1 and gelled it up. It's a tough economy, people.
Yawn.
Elle has brought the elevator back up and watches as HRG grabs a box cutter and holds it to Sylar's neck. He tells him that he always wanted to be special and look at him now. Throat slit! NICE! Not that it's gonna do any good now, but still, at least someone finally had the balls to kill someone on this damn show.
That's for killing Audrey from Little Shop of Horrors! All she wanted was to be somewhere that's green you sumbitch!
Claire's dead too. Oh wah. Her mom pulls the blanket off her face and what do ya know? The eclipse is over and Claire comes back to life. I was on the edge of my seat there for a minute.
Her hair? Still dead.
Matt finally gets to Daphne's house, but she's gone. Shoulda taken the bus if you can't run, you fat bastard. Her dad's thoughts are guilty dad thoughts, and Matt tells him not to feel bad that his daughter's a brat. Sometimes teenagers just turn shitty and never recover. Then he leaves and wanders through the cornfields listening to Daphne's guilty thoughts about being a villain and getting Matt's dad's killed and using Aqua Net to make her hair look like she's a crazy person and will Matt crush her if she let's him be on top and when are they gonna stop showing Friday Night Lights on DirecTV and just accept that it's over already? Hearing people's thoughts would be the worst power ever.
Matt finds her talking to the scarecrow that she made when she was a kid to save the crop from dying and he says that it's proof she's a good person and she should go hug her dad. She does. I want this show to die right now. In Haiti, Big Voodoo Daddy and his thugs walk around the village looking for their prisoners and we see this poster. Oh slam! Tim Kring's a Republican!
Remind you of anything?
The crappy Heroes artist is working for Obama! Now there's a scandal!
Peter starts shooting at the bad guys and is out of bullets without getting a single shot. With a machine gun. The Haitian and Nathan show up and the Haitian puts his hands on the bad guys heads and knocks them out. Way to prove yourself, Peter! Nathan flies at Big Bad Voodoo Daddy and slams him into a car, and the Haitian puts his hand on his brother's head and wipes him clean.
I only tried to bring you chaaaaange!
We're rootin' for ya, Parkman!
Suresh, still staring at his giant post it note, shows up at Maya's house. When he knocks, he sees that he has the scales on his hands back so he runs away. Maya answers the door with a can of Raid in her hands, but he's gone.
At the comic book store, Dr. Evil's tiny son is knocking on the closet door and trying to get Hiro to come out. He tells him that everyone has to grow up sometimes. Hiro says that he didn't grow up. He still looks like he's five years old with red facial hair glued to his face and all he does is eat junk food and read comics.
Alright dude, that was uncalled for. I have feelings!

had to republish due to some pic malfunctioning. here is dr jerkass' glorious comment.
dr. jerkass:
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.
