Maya's conveniently hidden herself under the examining table in the center of the room. Mohinder enters and his spidey-sense tells him he's got a live one in the backroom. He enters, sees the slashes in his jizz-nest - they're red, so I'm assuming Maya caused more damage with knife rather than the help she intended - and starts to rage. However, Maya's mascara is starting to run, and Mohinder's eyes fill up with The Blackness. He glances at Apartment 4 guy, whose eyes are darkening as well, which means his victims are not fully dead. Not sure what sort of experiments he's doing on them or how they control their bowel movements while half-alive, but duct tape will probably solve all his problems. The one time Maya can be useful, she botches it, listening to Mohinder when he begs her to control her powers, guilting her about the people she's already killed. He upsets the rolling table and she calls him a monster as he hisses and presumably attacks her. Ah, way to work the title of the episode into the dialogue, writer-geniuses! Maya, you win the Darwin Award of Heroes, Season 3.
Cue the applause track.
In a generically dark alley somewhere
Hiro and Ando, ever the bumbling duo due to Hiro's lack of reflexes, search in vain for Adam Monroe. I'd blame nearsightedness, but they fail to check the most obvious of spots, the dumpster where Adam is actually hidden. Adam chuckles at the fools, and leaps out of the dumpster only to be smacked in the gut by Knox, who promptly disposes an unconscious Adam into his unmarked decrepit van. Aw, don't you love those vans? I'd totally drive one of those babies around on November 4 telling old people I was there to take them to vote at the polls. Knox calls someone and tells them the deed is done, asking what he should do with the Japanese Wonder Twins.
Mama P's office, The Company
Mama P's forked over the documentation on the synthetic serum to Nathan and Tracy to peruse, and Nathan chastises his Mama for telling him he was special. "We were trying to be better than God," Mama P explains. Well, cry me a river, my cat's breath smells like cat food. Mama P defends her decision to inject him, citing Papa Petrelli's disappointment that Nathan lacked the genetic code that the rest of the family had. Papa Petrelli was totally a Harvard man, in my opinion. Funny, because Peter was the emotastic one of the bunch, and he scored the best powers of all of them. Tracy does her best to look like she knows how to read, while Mama P says that they were obviously right to inject Nathan since his lineage made him a perfect candidate. Tracy asks why the hell they picked her, since she was an orphan whose parents were dead.
Mama P replies that it's all good, since they've split up the formula so that this could never happen again. Well, too bad, Tracy says, 'cause that didn't stop her from killing a man. Mama P is losing her icy cold grip on the situation, because she begs Tracy to help her, since someone's stolen the formula. Wow, she's acting obsequious to a commoner. Obviously, the formula theft can be traced back to one of the Original Heroes. Or God, played by George Burns. Or Oprah, because if everyone could fly, we'd all be part of Oprah's Angel Network. Get me some wings with that free car, woman!
Emmy waddle.
Nathan tells his Mama to go to hell when she begs him to help her, to prevent the world from being overrun with crazies that need to be stopped. Mama P, in a fine bit of acting, keeps pleading, with a desperation in her eyes, explaining that the end of the world is why Peter took Sylar's abilities, to help stop the world from ending. Nathan, however, is correct to not just play back into his mama's hands, even though she was probably the first Victoria's Secret angel in existence. Nathan's like, dude, you locked up your son and are shunning him, and you did experiments on me and God knows who else.

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!?
