Awhile later, Claire is still atop the tower, still in her P.E. clothes - either she skipped class on the first day, or she has gym for her last period. Taking a deep breath, she does an excellent back tuck and lands on her feet - and breaks her left leg. She winces and takes a deep breath as she snaps the bone back in place. The bruise heals immediately. West walks in just as she's healing. "Why are you still here?"
Signs you may be in an abusive relationship.
He's got to be stalking her, Emotard would have no other reason to go back into the gym. He had a freakin' pencil tucked behind his ear during P.E. period, for heaven's sake.
The Deveaux building, New York
Kaito and Ando stand on the rooftop of the Deveaux building, where Kaito examines the photograph with the heroes' mark of death on it. The message is clear, and Kaito needs a sword. The message could be from any of "them," meaning very powerful people who used to work with Kaito and the others before they were split up and fractured. Ando is honorable to the end, insisting on fighting on behalf of Hiro instead of heading home. He's off to find Kaito a samurai sword!
Just then, Mama Petrelli shows up, looking super bitchy and not PETA-friendly at all in a fur coat. Like part demented Jackie O, part manbearpig. "Let me see it," she says to Kaito, fitting his scrap together with her own half of the photo.
It's just like two halves of a BFF heart necklace, only deadlier.
"Someone's playing a trick," she says.
"Charles Deveaux, Linderman, your husband - all of them, dead. Now, there are 9."
Hm, so nine are left of their generation of heroes. Kaito goes on to say that they will suffer for the people that they have hurt and killed. "I sought redemption. By helping Hiro fulfill his destiny to save the world. How did you help your son?" he asks Mama Petrelli. She slaps in the face with resounding force, but he doesn't even flinch. It's badass. Kaito tells her he's leaving for Japan tonight, and suggests she disappears as well. We all know that's not going to happen for either of them in time.
Dinner at the Bennets
"So how was your day? Was it a good day or a bad day? Well, what sort of day was it?"
"Eighty six straight days of sunshine, you just can't beat that," declares Bennet. Dinner conversation is super-awkward at the new Bennet house. Mr. Muggles is looking pudgy, don't you think? Kind of like Mr. Winkle but much, much puffier?
"Anything special happen at school?" asks Mama Bennet. Suppressing the multiple incidents that were abnormal, Claire replies,"It was like I wasn't even there."
Mr. Muggles is a fattyface next to me!
"Anything interesting happen at Copy Kingdom?" she asks her husband. Bennet does the same and replies,"I made a calendar, and a co-worker brought in donuts." Lyle just sits there exchanging glances with his dad and sister.
"We're all flourishing, except Mr. Muggles. No one knows who you are!" she coos, letting the pooch slobber wet kisses all over her. Dinner is interrupted by Bennet's cell phone, it must be "work" - 'cause you never know when a copy emergency will strike. He goes to another room to have the conversation, revealing that he's in cahoots with Mohinder, who tells him the Company caught up with him in Cairo. He's "in." Their plan to take the whole company down is falling into place, and Bennet warns Mohinder to watch his back.
Upstairs, Claire's gotten rid of her Juicy Sidekick and now has a more grown up looking fuchsia Samsung, I think. Who could she be calling? Oh, it's our favorite lumberjack, Nathan, who's sitting at a dive bar getting his drink on.
"Are you there God? It's me, Margaret."
Claire tells Nathan she doesn't think she can pretend to be normal, to go back to a life without flying men and other heroes. She doesn't know who else to talk to, and it's clear she's still torn up about the presumed death of Peter. In a real dick move, Nathan apologizes and says he can't help her and looks into the mirror. So he's still not really supportive of his biological daughter. Nathan glances up at the cracked mirror on the wall sees reflection, only his face is super-scarred by burns and rendered unrecognizable. What the hell? Then it flashes back to normal. What's with the burn victim flashback and cracked mirror? It reeked of Niki/Jessica.

T.Vo!!! Great recap and i officially love the new word EMOTARD!!! that described that kid to perfection. Sort of a slow episode, but i figure they are setting up the future eps storyline. The best part of the ep? No Niki/Jessica...can we have more eps without her puhlease!

I started reading this earlier, but had to stop, and now I want to finish reading it, but it's only showing me the first page...what's happening?!

Hey all,
I have no idea what's happening, the recap published just fine (since at least lloyd dobbler got to read it in its entirety, the thing took me about 12 hours to complete, don't laugh) -- and now it disappeared. Maybe I got punked by TVGasm for my 23rd birthday? But that's not until tomorrow...
Hopefully it'll be back up soon, we've got ghosts or something on this site.
Thanks for the support, it means a lot!

Great recap, T.Vo! I almost fell out of my chair when you called Mama P part manbearpig. Where's Al Gore to hunt her down when you need him?
They better be planning to do something super kickass with Maya y Alejandro because I'm all ready skeptical about that developing storyline.
And I had never realized the smoking hotness that was Milo V. until I saw him on a talk show last year with his hair slicked back and not all in his face like Peter has it. I'm glad they let him cut it off.

And happy birthday, (even if it is a little early)!

Great recap. Yeah, Roly-Poly Midas will always be Ned Ryerson to me. I knew emotard was going to have some sort of "talent." I bet HE can backflip off the tower. I thought it was a good show. It's pretty obvious that Hiro himself will make the legends that he knows. And I that means it was his sword all along. Sort of. I think.

Great Recap!! But alas, i too found the season opener lacking a little. I kinda felt out of the loop a bit there with all the changes that were going on AND for the first time i kinda got bored of Hiro (can u belieive that!!!).
AND is it just me or does West (emotard! haha) kinda looks like a young Peter P / Ralph Macchio?....just a thought...
But i'm totally looking forward to next week, hopefully it will be a lil bit more exciting....BTW....I LOVE Peter P's new look....mmmmmm yummy yummy, i likey dat tummy....!!!
Twnny.

Geewits, excellent "Sneakers" reference for that you should be commended.
I enjoyed this one, though I am missing the token hotness of Ali Larter, and I am not so much into the Hondurians. Not yet anyways. Do you think Senator Petrlli went diidling his little pilot into some Costa Verde woman? Makes you wonder how many more of Claire's pseudo-crushes will be related to her? Some sort of Elenaor DeRoosevelt syndrome.
I thought it was a cop-out to have the Ginsu Master as an Englishman, I think it was an obvious plot device because they know most americans can't/won't/don't read. Other than lookign forward to next monday. Good recap.

Loved the Recap! I liked this episode, except for all of the Nissan Rouge commercials.
When I saw Nathan looking in the mirror and seeing the burned person, I immidiatly thought "Nathan is dead and that is Peter". Then they showed Peter in Dublin, and I thought "Syler"! They both have the power to change into other people, and the image could have been Peter's guilt at killing Nathan? Just a thought.

Thanks for the recap and for noticing the pencil in West's ear at gym class.. so weird. Anywho, I heard that Maya kills people with a virus of some kind spontaneously when she gets freaked out, and that her brother is the anti-virus which is why they need to stay together to prevent her from wiping out everyone.

excellent recap, had me giggling! I think the new girl from across the border is HOT HOT HOT, and I'm not even straight . . . imagine . . . but T.vo, why hold out on the girls, like me and not, who want to see the real haircut--just be careful where you place that arrow . . .totally thought the Hiro story too much comic relief and lame . . . I thought the daughter was going to be the hero, and history wouldn't write it that way, as they never give women credit, but I guess it'll just be Hiro and a few face scrunches . . . oh well.
Guess his dad could have picked a better spot to await death . . . no one would look for superpowered humans on that roof, would they!?

Good post- though you should leave out words like "fruity" - makes you sound like a jerk

Hey - does anyone know what happened to "Moon over Sun", the Heroes fansite?

"Are you there God? Its me Margaret" LOL, That was great. Throwing a Judy Blume book in there! Actually this epsiode way too much going on trying to catch up for the last 4 months we missed.

Okay, is it just me, or did this recap feel rushed. I know you've got it in you, just have some one read over this before you post it. Lots of errors, made it real hard to enjoy.
25 of 27 | Posted by neillfilm | Posted on October 1, 2007 9:53 AM
Not that good of a recap. I noticed a lot of missed words, and it's just distracting. I know you've got the comedy in you, but just have someone read this over before you post.
26 of 27 | Posted by neillfilm | Posted on October 1, 2007 4:23 PM
great recap! though i think missed words and distracting format should be taken up to high brass in the IT department. hey, tech nerds, clean it up a bit so that the gems of the internet like T.Vo can be presented in a nice space!
t.vo rocks -- i lol'd my loller self off!
