Back in New York, Bob and Mohinder discuss the implications of strain 138. Mohinder argues it should be destroyed before it wipes out all of civilization. This company is very vigilant about security, says Bob, but Mohinder scoffs. "Oh really? For weeks I operated as a sloppy spy and you didn't know shit, dude. God knows what someone with skills and tact could achieve." I guess Tim Kring realizes that Cisco systems were not as secure as he thought they were. Mohinder wants to get every strain of the virus and destroy them, with Bob's help. Well, I want a goose that lays golden eggs, and I want it now!
"I want to talk about my 401(k)."
Mohinder's on the way home in a taxi when he receives a phone call. He's got two vials of blood (Claire's?) and a syringe with him. "I convinced the babysitter to take the night off," says Sylar smoothly. Sylar is in Mohinder's apartment and stroking Molly's hair, and it's mega-creepy. Jesus tapdancing Christ, he got to New York quickly in the Rogue. Is Parkman dead, or is it possible that my two dads hired an inept teenager for the night? You would think they would agree to always have one parent at home.
Sylar cheerfully informs Mohinder that he's brought a guest who's waiting to see him. He doesn't mention the mascara of death, though, that'd be a downer. Memo to Mohinder: Call Bennet. Or Bob. One of them. Or Ghostbusters.
Back in Japan, Ando is asleep in his chair, dreaming of Hiro's sister, when his BFF returns from 1977. Hiro's finally figured out what he needs to do, because Adam wants to unleash the virus and kill everyone. He must go to Primatech in Odessa, Texas. But when? Hiro grabs the Kensei samurai sword and says peace before Ando can rub the sleep from his eyes. "Why is saving the world always your responsibility?" complains Ando.
Adam and Peter stroll into Primatech in the present day and time freezes. How convenient that, given the time zones and all, the moment that Hiro decided to teleport to Odessa, they were there too! Peter is immune to time-freezing, and Hiro looks at Peter incredulously. Hiro tells him that Adam killed his father and that he must pay for it, but Peter prepares to defend himself and Adam with a ball of electricity. Hiro, who doesn't think of teleporting himself away or at least between Peter and Adam to get a decent swing at Adam's head, tells Peter he's chosen the wrong side and charges full speed at our little Petrelli. They can't both survive, can they?
Well, you know you make me wanna' shout,throw my hands up and shout!
Next week: Bennet lives. Two heroes will fall, and a villain will rise. Name your draft
picks, it's time to play fantasy Heroes. My hope is that Niki dies while saving Monica, and that Emotard sacrifices himself in the name of love. I wouldn't mind if Mohinder spilled his guts to Sylar, either. It's obvious that neither Peter nor Hiro are biting the bullet anytime soon.
I have a few questions.
1. If you can just blow off Adam's head to kill him, why didn't The Company try all
these extensive tests on him during the 30+ years they had him locked away? Why didn't they take any of his regenerative blood?
2. Did Adam sleep with Mama Petrelli? Is he Claire's grandpa?
3. Is there a possibility that Victoria had a thing for Kaito, since it seems like Mama Petrelli and her are BFF's who share secrets? Perhaps Victoria kept the Kaito-Petrelli liason a secret for her all these years. What's Victoria's power?
4. Will someone buy me a goose that lays golden eggs? I'd like to think that, contrary to popular belief and Avenue Q, my B.A. in English isn't useless. Because I can ask for ridiculous and impossible gifts online.

Thanks for the mention of the Yellow Wallpaper. Now I'm going to go back to having nightmares about wallpaper stalking me.

Love the recap, T.Vo! Did you have a nice time in NYC, besides being stalked by Niki?
My fav line: "Or perhaps
Alejandro can't die unless Maya dies. I don't care anymore." SO on the money. Tim really could have kept those two.

Is the end of the recap cut off? It's ending on pg. 6, with Claire about to release Bennett's "ashes" but a little more happens after that ...

Is the "Yellow Wallpaper" the short story that fledgling English majors encountered Freshman year about Postpartum syndrome? If not, then my degrees has yet proven even more useless. Good call on Petero NOT reading Adam's mind. And couldn't emotard have proven even more useful by just picking Electric Kool-Aid up and dropping her 100ft? But here I am being logical. And besides that would kill off Elle, whom I have grown to kind of like.
Also, is two face contagious? Why would she go around her son if so. "I'm dying, and after you shared that popsicle with me there is a good chance your dying too. Now be a good boy and get momma another one, grape this time."

Hey all,
The recap got a bit cut off because Moveable Type hates me and never saves the air date or half of my posts. It will be fixed shortly, please come back for it!
Yes, "The Yellow Wallpaper" is the short story you're thinking of, it's quite popular in high school English classes too. It only took her two days to write, and when it was passed along to editors, they rejected the manuscript because they said it made them feel miserable.

mattypopo: I was wondering the same thing myself regarding Niki's virus, but when she tells Micah she has it, she also adds, "I can't pass it on to you or anyone else." Or so she thinks, I'm guessing, because virus transmission can occur via saliva, blood, bodily fluids, even through inhalation. They need to get their Biology straight.

Ahhhh. . . so I did remember correctly. Well, if depressing shit wouldn't get published back then, Joyce Carole Oats would never have had a writing career, and Oprah would never been able to operate her book club in that time period as well (I wish this time period as wll because I think it is absurd that she has to comprise a books's cover so she can put her seal approval on it, but I digress.) Glad to know my degree has one use--understanding online recapper's literary references.
I say Niki, Senorita El Lamo, and Emotard sleep the long sleep. But I would hope that Micha dies and maybe they can dig up D.L. and kill him another time as well.

True story: a good friend of mine at work went to high school with Nick D'Agosto, aka Emotard.
That and Kristen Bell are the only reasons I've started watching this show, so I can't really contribute much more than that.
Anyone want to chip in to get Milo Ventimiglia some acting lessons? (Sorry, I hated him on Gilmore Girls, too.)

Peter and Adam: the new & NOT even improved Mohinder & Sylar. After so many people making fun of how dumb Mohinder is for trusting Sylar, I can't believe they would recycle that formula again.
