Mohinder keeps on whining when Daphne speeds in a whips the formula right out of his hands. He throws Peter up against a wall when the thugs come in. Marlo from The Wire and Jethro. They tell Peter that they're on his side now. They want to destroy the formula too, because if everyone else had powers they wouldn't be as special. Oh, WAH. Every man on this show today is drunk on WHINE. What the hell? Someone please, please man up. Is it all the hormones that have been put into milk over the decades that has pussified America's men? Feminism? Metrosexualism? Beaches? Kring, whatever issues you're working out here, please take them to a doctor and keep them off my TV. Nathan throws over a lab table and whines "Nathan's not in charge any more!"
But look what they've done to my BEAUTYYYYY!
The Injected Marine with the giant nostrils brings Nathan to on the floor of Papa P's office. Nathan tells him to find Peter before he ruins everything and Nostrils eagerly says that he will and everything's gonna be ok and now that he's a hero he will save the...CRACK. Marlo comes in and kills him dead with a neck snap. LOL. Those nostrils were just too good to live on. RIP, Nostrils. Marlo will be babysitting Nathan while Peter does his thing to make sure Nathan doesn't try to completely rewrite his entire character again.
Daphne shows back up at the loft with the dose of the magic jello. Ando is about to just shove it in his arm and Parkman stops him. Something bad could happen. He could grow two heads or turn green or get the ability to make more than one face. Daphne says that she always wanted to run so her power was running fast and Parkman was always worried about what people thought of him so his power is reading minds. What's a scene tonight without bs pop psychology on what makes a weak man tick? And how does that explanation even make sense?
Elle was an electo outcast because that's what her innermost desires were? Nikki wanted another personality to ruin her life and get her killed? Sorry. Logic. Let's just roll with it. Otherwise there would be no way to make sense of how Ando can just inject himself with the power to control time and space so this f ing season can end. Head slap. Ando asks if he's ever done something he knew was right even though everyone told him not to. Daphne gives him that smile like "you wouldn't have the opportunity to possibly crush me to death every night if you had any sense and dumped me when I betrayed you". Parkman finally gets it and gives Ando the go ahead. Ando injects himself, makes the Ando stock face, and passes out.

No one comes to save Hiro, so he decides to climb from the pole onto the balcony himself. Well that was easy. He goes inside to talk to Kid Hiro and ask him why he's sad. Uh, cuz his mom died like five minutes ago? Sensitive. Why is Big Hiro sad? Cuz he boned it AGAIN. He says that Daddy Sulu has a paper with numbers on it and enlists the kid to help him find it. I would like to take a moment to put my annoyance aside for a sec and thank Kring for not making Hiro ten again. Moment of grateful silence.
Back in an office in the medical ward, Mama P tells Claire to calm down and not go after Sylar because that's what he wants. She says he's like a kid having a temper tantrum and Claire says she wants to give him a spanking. Thank you! That's the way to save the world, if you ask me. Discipline your brats! The phone rings. Claire looks all scared and dimly lit. It keeps ringing. She answers. HE'S IN THE HOUSE! It's Sylar. He tells her that life is making hard choices and he will allow her to walk out of here with her mom and dad if she kills Mama P. You know. Like in Saw. But without all the clever parts. Sylar wants Mama P dead because she made him feel loved and wanted and then took it all away. Wizaaah. He adds that he's a monster because of what HRG and Elle did to him. Not because he killed god knows how many people, but because they hewt his feewings. Claire shoots the phone instead. Sylar can't believe it. That plot worked for Saw and four sequels.
I shoulda said it with my country accent.
Speaking of stealing plots, remember when this movie was called Liar, Liar?

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.
