Hiro would never have made it as an AzN GanGster in the OC, but apparently he'll do what it takes to join the sorority of heroes/villains. All Knox says is that if he kills Ando, he'll truly be badass. All of a sudden, in a completely unbelievable turn of character, Hiro stands in front of Ando and apologizes for what he's about to do. He blathers that he has to make sacrifices to save the world...and guts Ando like a piece of fresh sashimi. WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK. REALITY FAIL.
Ando gasps, "Hiro!" with a look of utter dismay and surprise on his poor face, and slumps to the ground. I don't buy it. It's got to be an illusion. If it wasn't, it was the most retarded, impossible twist they could've written into the script. That, and making Claire pregnant with Sylar's twins. I need a drink.
I'm trying to come up with an argument against this statement, but I'm blank.
Car de Bennet
Bennet pulls up to the family house and doesn't apologize for his actions. He tells Claire he did what he had to do, for the family. I say, good sir, you have delusions of grandeur. In the backseat, Sylar pipes up that Bennet didn't take down Steven Canfield when he had the chance, and that Claire doesn't believe Bennet at all. Bennet used Claire to find Vortex man, and then he used Vortex man to try and kill Sylar. "He doesn't see our humanity, Claire," notes Sylar. Touché. Zachary Quinto is the reason why I'm still watching, so I'm excited to see him out in the world instead of locked up on some malaria-ridden island of illusion. Bennet doesn't take into account any humanity except what he wants to see, and his blindness to shades of grey and ambiguity will be the downfall of Claire and the rest of the Bennet family.
Claire, still shaken by recent events, shudders and proclaims Sylar a monster. However, I think she's softening up and seeing that the "monster" title can be equally applied to her father as well, though she won't admit it outright. Bennet does everything but burst out into song ("Everything I Do, I Do For You") and hugs her close as he demands her reassurance. Too late, the seed of doubt has been planted!
Our favorite cheerleader runs into Casa de Bennet into the arms of a fretful Mama B. Relieved to have Claire back, Mama B exclaims that she's glad Meredith found her. Ruh roh. Claire reveals that it was Papa Bennet and Sylar who came to the rescue, not Meredith. Something wicked this way comes...
...and it involves eating a spicy meatball, eh? Meredith is angrily eating dinner with the Puppetmaster himself, Eric Doyle. It's just like that I Love Lucy episode where she mirrors Harpo Marx, but creepier and more obese.
Next we're gonna rub lotion on ourselves, pretty!
I initially thought he looked like one of the trolls who flames forums like Something Awful, but it looks like he's a pervy chubbo who really likes dolls and puppets. Eric Doyle's abilities allow him to control the motions of his victims (but not their minds, fortunately), like a lighter version of the Imperius Curse in Harry Potter. He seals Meredith's mouth shut when she protests and forces her to give him a kiss. There's a spotted frog wearing a hat straight out of the Ricola commercial in there!
Mama P's office, The Company
Mama Petrelli is having a bad day. She starts to nod off and has one of her psychic, future-telling dreams. In her dream state, she's startled awake by a blood-curdling scream, and runs down the empty hallway and through double doors to find a lifeless Tracy and Nathan (vampire wounds?). Peter stands in the hallway, both hands bloody, and Mama P fervently hopes that he didn't do this. Well, turns out Peter got stabbed in the head with a pipe, and he's down for the count. Hello, just take the pipe out, he'll be fine. She whirls around as ominous music plays, and a suited man greets her. Sylar's father? Nathan and Peter's father? Daddy issues much?
The suited man coolly explains that he can't have her seeing the future. Mama P angrily refuses to acknowledge his existence, exclaiming that she'll stop him. He stifles laughter and says that's impossible, because she won't be able to move. Curious. He wears a prominent looking signet ring.

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!?
