This week's episode of Heroes, entitled "Angels and Monsters," calls to mind every single cliché frat/sorority party theme I have ever been subjected to, including "CEO's and Office Hoes" and "Mermaids and Seamen." Let's pop our collars and do this!
I said pop your collar.
I always knew Nathan was a spooner. Spooning is the best, isn't it? Nathan, in a voiceover usually taken by Mohinder, still firmly believes he's been touched by God, and that he has a purpose. Hee. Guess what? God has a plan for you, and it's to be our eye candy. Flying eye candy. Present Peter teleports into Sylar's cell and pins him to the wall, Claire sits in her car with a taser she bought from a late-night infomercial, Hiro and Ando unearth Adam, and Mohinder sits in the shadows of Central Park watching a black guy with dreads. "Am I an angel, or a monster? A hero, or a villain?" intones Nathan. Spare me.
You're a hottie. Isn't that enough?
Nathan's drinking some milk straight from the oh-so-retro glass container, when Linderman appears by the fridge. Dirty old voyeur. Linderman says that Tracy needed Nathan's help, and was it luck or coincidence or guidance from a higher power? Clearly, it must be a higher power because there is no scientific evidence to support any of these highfaluting notions. Hmm, I really don't think Linderman's alive so I bet it's Parkman's daddy or David Copperfield. Tracy enters in a men's dress shirt, all Risky Business, and asks Nathan who he's talking to. He stutters and loses his marbles. It's okay, take the hallucinations - they're far better than flaccid penises.
Meanwhile, at Central Park, an NYPD car passes by the drug dealer. "Whatchu need? Whatchu got? White lightning, base, angel dust?" the dreadlocked dealer asks Mohinder. Well, I was running low on pixy dust for my next trip to Neverland, but it's way cheaper in bulk at Costco. Mohinder, who has enough testosterone coursing through his veins, doesn't need the drugs, he just needs the dealer.
Yay, massage! Bring gloves.
Back at Level 5, topless Present Peter is pinning Sylar to the wall, and Sylar mentions that Peter's already becoming like him, casually dropping "Brother" at the end of his sentence. Peter freaks out (because he's prone to do that) and snaps Sylar's neck, as Mama Petrelli comes up to the viewing window. Peter casts Sylar aside and snarls at his mother, demanding she tell him the rest of her secrets. She explains he doesn't know what he's doing, and it only pisses Peter off more (plus he's still got two open flesh wounds on his chest). He barks at her to give up her secrets but grows impatient, deciding to open up her skull instead. The hunger! Snap into a Slim Jim!
For once, Mama P looks like she's going to pee herself instead of be the immaculately groomed, tweed suit-wearing power bitch that she is. Well, she is getting closer to the age of incontinence. Peter's got his fingers outstretched, and starts to cut, as Sylar awesomely snaps his neck back into place and flings Peter against the glass window. He rushes over to Mama P to ensure she's okay, which is a stark contrast to his relationship to his adopted mom. There's a new favorite son in town (What would be the theme song of Mama P's spinoff show, "My Three Sons"?). I'm guessing they're not going to go down to Sears and take a family portrait anytime soon. That's what Photoshop's for. Also, based on everything we've heard so far about Mama P's dalliances and all the Company-sanctioned murders and power struggles, I don't think Papa Petrelli committed suicide.
Bennet beckons to Sylar to leave for another assignment, they've got a new lead on another target.
You're welcome, horny readers.
Casa de Bennet
Mama Bennet is berating herself for letting Claire go to the imaginary cheerleading sleepover, 'cause, duh, there wasn't one. Oldest trick in the book, short of crawling out of a second story window using bedsheets knotted together. Meredith tries to ease Mama B's fears, but Mama B knows Claire's gone to find one of the villains in Bennet's files, since it's all she's babbled about since the Sylar attack. "They're monsters!" exclaims Mama B. Meredith's a bit nonchalant since she says Claire can't get hurt, but then Mama B points out a file on a Steven Canfield, who creates vortexes that make people disappear. Yeah, you could really lock Claire up for eternity somewhere, which is worse than dying.
Meredith maintains her calm until she peruses the list of escaped Villains, freaking out when she sees the file on Eric Doyle.

I thought syphilis was the disease of late!!! Oh, Marcia-Marcia-Marcia!!!
Can't believe I'm the first comment here . . . but thanks for recap-did you really know that it was Parkman's Dad doing the ghost before it was revealed? Just goes to prove how dense I am, just taking it all in . . .
The time inconsistencies are annoying, esp in the lamo Hiro arc . . . how can you escape from someone who can time travel . . .
Also confused about good versus bad here, in the now and the future, in the company etc . . . oh well, guess I'll keep plodding along and see where this journey takes us. It's a weird world when Mama P is a good guy! Is it me!?
