For a second, Claire thought they were being held hostage by Reba MacIntyre and shouted that she's sorry about Reba's cancellation but it's time to get the f over it. Sylar agrees that Reba was cancelled before it's time but gets his regular accent back and changes his course. He tells them that one by one before the episode is over, he will show them that they are all monsters too. Mama P raises her hand and takes a stab in the dark that the security guard was killed by Colonel Mustard in the Library with the rope, but she wins nothing.
For Christmas, let's make peace and all switch to Linux so these douchebags will leave us alone.
Mama P says that all the guns are pointless because it's not like they can just kill Sylar. Claire corrects her. If they hit him in the soft spot behind the skull, they can stop his brain from working and kill him. Sylar starts taunting Claire about how her mom abandoned her and her dad just thinks of her as a job. They have so much in common and both know that they can't be damaged. "Well, except for a broken heart, and that's what parents give us, don't they?" WAAAAHHHH. You know what your parents should have given you? A damn spanking, that's what. They could have stopped this shit years ago.
HRG and Meredith make it to the security room, but all they find is another dead extra. Sylar comes over the loudspeaker and tells HRG that he's the hunted one, not the other way around. Back in NYC, Hiro is still hanging on to the flag pole on the side of the roof. He tells a pigeon about losing the formula and letting down his father yet again. The bird refrains from pooping on his head, which I find incredibly disappointing. Apparently the bird has missed the past two seasons of this show or he would have unloaded lunch.
Never count on a pigeon to do the right thing.
Ando, Daphne and Parkman are arriving at Suresh's loft to get the formula so Ando can get superpowers and go back in time to save Hiro. Parkman's being all flip about it like they have all the time in the world even though Ando is holding the sketch of Hiro hanging off a ledge. Daphne reminds him that if Hiro dies in the past, it could change everything in the future. Waffle stock would go down, Daddy Sulu wouldn't have made a comeback, the rose blossom scene never would have happened...wait. This is starting to sound like a good thing. They break into the loft and start shouting for Suresh.
Wow. That's quite a name. Can I call you Gum?
Suresh isn't there, obvs, so Daphne figures he must be in the lab at Pinehurst. Matt's like "Lucy, that's dangerous!" and she's all "I won't do it, Ricky, I swear!" Then she jets out of there and Parkman is left alone with his bongos and Ando, who is making the same exact movement he made the first time he experienced Daphne's after run wind. He's fixing his hair.
Well done, Ando. Well done.
Suresh the Horny Toad is in the lab at Pinehurst, and since he has some time alone he records positive messages to himself into his tape recorder. "You're pretty. Your face is smooth as a baby's bottom. You should be on Oil of Olay ads. You will never get old. You will be the tenth caller and win tickets to the Miley Cyrus concert..." He is about to inject himself with the formula because he thinks that it will cure him. Of course it will. Throw some bad after bad. When I gained seventy pounds this year I fought it with pizza and it totally worked. Wait. That's a terrible idea. Peter interrupts him right before he injects and holds a gun on him. Hey Peter, why don't you mind your own damn beeswax? Instead of asking that obvious question, Suresh starts whining about how he coveted people's abilities so he tried to give them to himself with disastrous results. Kring is obsessed with coveting. He uses that word in every episode. Feeling guilty? Stop stealing, Kring! Stop stealing!

It must be ire that drives you!!! I never know how lame this show is until I read your recap, tho, even I could see the Saw going on, sans the gore!
"Look, ma! A shark's about to eat my eyebrow! "
Too funny!!! See that, dear Flip, without you I may have never noticed the catapillars of love on Sylar's brow!!!
Also, I happen to think Matt is def do-able, he's the most likely sex object in this show for me (and perhaps J-mo, tho I shouldn't speak for others) the fact that he seems sweet is a plus, but alas, he's straight, just like 'em all . . . sigh . .
Well, as for the show, I'm glad Peter got his power back, I hope Meredith pulls through, love me some Mama P and her waddles--it was fun to watch her be honest, but I wish they had run further with it. Sylar can't be dead, c'mon, he did the whole Star Trek movie with nary a peep of his contract with Hero's or conflict, or money talk, and he makes a killer Spock, no!?
Ain't buying the Nathan conversion, but then nothing stays the same here, and Tracy was a perfect, corrupted side kick, so why fire her . . . Never saw the 4400, but I believe, I believe . . .
If this is our last cap before the Holidays, may you have the bestest of them!!! HUGS AND KISSES!!!!

Clair's lip gloss was literally poppin' this whole episode. Which made 0 sense.
At least we got to see pretty Suresh once more before X-Mas. Thank you NBC/Universal.
