Mama Petrelli tells him that Nathan is dead, but Peter doesn't even remember he has a sibling. "My brother?" Angela tells him he must control history, but Peter gets all angsty and beats the desk. The virus will wipe them all out if he doesn't sack up. Peter has some memory flashes of Mama Petrelli. She's holding a birthday cake, and her face can actually express emotions. It's frightening. "Mom!" he says, and Mama Petrelli embraces him. She smiles for a fraction of a second, but it looks like it's causing her excruciating pain.
Pre-Botox, obviously.
Post-reunion, Peter sees Caitlin in a herd of detainees. In the apocalyptic future, there will only be white hoodies and beige pants to wear, from the looks of things. The lovers clasp hands through a chain link fence, but an official pries Caitlin away. Maybe she'll be transported in a crate back to Ireland. Peter has a mind fart and ends up accidentally teleporting back to the past, to the Canadian junk warehouse. Peter tries to summon his powers and re-reads the note from Adam. Coincidentally, one of the flags from White Beard's camp is stored in the place.
Sensing someone else is there, Peter shoots out a lightning bolt. The hand he shoots heals rapidly. It's Adam/Kensei, who steps out from the shadows and declares that he and Peter are going to change history. Or fight each other to the death in a cage match. Looks like Adam/Kensei has learned to dilute the impact of damage done to his body over hundreds of years. I'll give Kensei/Adam credit for being able to hold a grudge for centuries.

Michaelangelo: The original Isaac Mendez.
Costa Verde, California, Casa de Cheerleader
Claire is awoken by annoying text messages from Emotard, which is marginally better than waking up next to his goober face. Who types "G morning?" Gratuitous plug for Sprint as she starts texting him back. His replies are appropriately stalkerish, but Claire can't text for crap.
Claire goes down to the kitchen and discovers that Emotard has seduced Mama Bennet and made Eggo waffles. Brownoser. Worried that her dad will get home soon, Claire acts annoyed at Emotard's surprise visit. Mr. Muggles pulls out all his trophies and puts on his championship video, pleased to have a new visitor.
Emotard is brimming with excitement. He shows Claire a newspaper article about Debbie being suspended, complete with a statement that she saw a flying man and girl dropped from 50 feet in the air. "We're infamous," he cackles. Someone's desperate for popularity. Upon closer inspection of the article, I am amused by the prop people's ability to bullshit nonsensical sentences:
"The outlined situation is currently under debate. Issues were selected and are being prioritized on the basis of common agreement. The widest possible latitude is being allowed, to more carefully assess all salient points.
Given questions regarding result determination, great care has been of paramount importance. All interested parties were in attendance and contributed to overall result. Theories have been advanced which suggest a combination of germinal premises, but upon more determined scrutiny, and concord was deemed possible with the sincere efforts of all involved.
Given the mercurial responses of some involved parties, a reexamination of motives and bias was suggested and roundly endorsed by the majority. Postponement of substantive debate may require implementation to encourage individual conference time and availability."
In other words, bitch got her due.
It's on the last page of the "local flavor" section of the newspaper but sounds more like a National Enquirer story. Claire freaks out because she feels she's being manipulated by Emotard and setting the women's movement back, then hides a picture of the family under the guise of a kiss.
Mr. Muggle curses his life as he watches Claire and West make out on the couch. While sharing earbuds and listening to Nada Surf's new song "Weightless." Props to the music editor for that, but propping a phone on your thigh while getting hot and heavy? Moodkiller.
Text "Cheer" to 6666 to make it stop.
Pulling his sweater away from his neck, she asks him if his bag and tag marks hurt. Emotard plays it cool, saying they're his souvenir from his alien abduction. Claire's about to drop the HRG bomb but paranoid West thinks she's afraid they're moving too fast. Man, my boyfriend hasn't made waffles for my parents, and I've been with him for two years.

Recap better than show!
I'm sure HRG said there was no way to tell the sequence of the paintings... but when they are piled up for buring, the frames are marked "8/8" and "2/8"... could THAT mean something?

Good recap. Maybe Veronica Mars is Kensi's kid? That would make more sense right?
Also, since Kensi is aging very, very slowly, would that mean Claire is stuck as a teenager? And if so, is it wrong that I think that is hot?
At least Kring apologized for the shitty season thus far.
