HRG lets the three remaining prisoners out of their cells, and true to Heroes' completely wrong casting policy, they are two fat homely guys and a homely black dude.
You're all dying today. You know that right?
HRG tells them that if they can get Sylar's head then they can go free and don't try to escape because Sylar has them all locked in. Puppeteer blows Meredith a kiss and leads the other three away. Meredith doesn't get the plan, but HRG says that it's simple. To catch a shark you need bait. She's horrified. HRG doesn't really bother following them. You don't just throw bait in the water, you hook it to a line. This is not going to end well.
Back in the lab, Suresh warns Jethro that the magic jello is highly combustible while Peter trashes the lab. Jethro kicks him in the nuts and throws him across the room. Luckily, nothing hits his cheekbones.
In the loft lab, Daphne throws a glass of water on Ando and he wakes up.
Well, glad to see you still have Ando face.
Ando asks if he has abilities, and Daphne says that so far all they know is that he can pass out well, gel his hair so that it never moves, and make the same stupid face no matter what's going on around him. He tries to squint, but nothing happens. There's a whole scene of him trying, but we all know he has some kind of red sparks that come out of his hands because we saw it in the first episode of the season so chop chop. Ando can't act so please stop making him try. It's almost as painful to watch as Peter wondering how many licks it takes to get to the middle of a Tootsie Roll pop in one of his meaningful scenes. Ando finally gets frustrated enough to slam his hand down on the table and red sparks come out.
And....Ando face.
Meredith is walking the halls alone now for some reason and she comes across the old vet's metal hand in the middle of the floor. One fat homely guy down. A bottle of adrenaline comes rolling at her and she bends down to pick it up. Run! Too late. Sylar flings her gun against the wall and the Puppeteer comes out and freezes him. He says Meredith is his to love, and to kill. Aw! I have never had a man love me like that. It's touching. Especially around Christmas. Oh my God I'm whining. This show is ruining my mental state. Puppeteer puts Sylar into the Karate Kid poster position. Someone on the writing staff loves The Karate Kid
Sy overpowers him in like two seconds, knocks him down, and injects Meredith in the chest with adrenaline. Unfortunately, she's not wearing Uma's wig from Pulp Fiction. This episode is going for a record number of movie plots stolen.
Two fat homely guys down. HRG passes the black homely guy dead on the floor. Man. Homely trifecta. Every time I see a homely fat or black person on the street I feel like warning them that Kring could swoop down and kill them at any moment. HRG finds Meredith curled up on the floor in a cell. The adrenaline has made her unable to control the fire from coming out of her hands. HRG goes into the cell to help her and Sylar locks them both in. He has switched out HRG's rifle with a handgun containing one bullet. If he wants to save himself and Claire, he'll shoot Meredith. If Saw didn't work the first time, there's always Sophie's Choice. Sylar suggests he come up with a good lie to tell Claire when this is all over and then blames HRG for making him who he is. HRG does his best to not roll his eyes. I just wish he'd get right up to the window and start playing a tiny violin and fake crying.
Marlo is babysitting Nathan, who tries to convince him to let him go by explaining that working for Peter is a dumb move because Peter fucks every single thing he ever tries to do up. Nathan may be evil now, but he's dead on with that assessment. He grabs a crystal ball off a side table and bashes Marlo in the head with it. They fight. Marlo brings back his arm to knock Nathan's face in when Tracy comes up behind him and not only kills him, but turns him white first in a lame attempt to not get the show sued by the NAACP.
Only one black man has been harmed in the making of this episode.

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.
