Oh, I get it! Every single story line for Hiro that followed season 1 sucked ass, so we're just going to take him back to when he was adorably semi retarded and pretend like the floating cherry blossoms never happened. Smooth, Heroes. Smooth.

Thankfully, there are other story lines. Let's get to one, shall we? The windows are being repaired in Papa P's office. It got drafty in there, what with the Peter shaped hole in them. Sylar is staring at the workers, wondering if he should use his power of giant eyebrows to help dry the windows. Papa P teleports back just in time and reminds Sylar that he's one of the four horsemen, not a maid. Papa tells him that he's going to be a good father for once and teach his kid how to take powers from people without killing them. How? Why, by feeling empathy of course. HUH? So that's how Papa P, does it, eh? He cares? Riiight. It's the episode of inventing random shit because there's no plan on getting through the season. Empathy? What is he Jesus Christ now? PISSED.

We have the same face right now.

Sylar says that he can't feel empathy but Papa points out that he knows Sy saved Peter from that fall so cut the crap. He leads him into a long dark cavernous room, where Elle is chained up and seriously pissed.

This should be you, Tim Kring.

Peter is being chased by Meredith's brother Jethro and the scary dude who gets his strength from other people's fear, which actually isn't that different from the drug kingpin he played in The Wire. Claire is telling Peter that she won't leave him because it's her turn to protect him, what with only the power of bad acting left in his arsenal. Peter wants her not to turn into the brunette megabitch with tarantula eyelashes and thinks that the way to keep her safe is to not run and I guess sit there and wait for the thugs that are currently trying to beat down the door. She tells him to run and she will take care of them. He does. All talk, that one. And why is it taking so long for the guy with super human strength to break down the door?

Finally, the thugs get in a Claire calmly taunts them and tells them that she was the defensive player of the year. In what sport? Does cheerleading have defense? WTF is going on tonight? She bolts out the window and falls and falls and falls. By the time Peter has run down the fire escape, she's cracking her bones back together. Hot. Peter stops to stare at a giant painting of the serpent lizard thingy symbol on a wall. I'm more interested in the wall behind him.

Dude, take some time to smell the jazz hands.

They tear off down the alley and because they are on a set in LA, into a manhole. No one from New York would try to get down one of those things no matter who was chasing them. Give me freedom, give me death, but don't send me down the homeless person/rat poop shoot. The steam coming out of those things smells like an ass facial.

Primatech lab. Papa P comes in to check on Suresh, who's depressed about using the power granting syrum to disfigure the vet Meredith and Julia Roberts' brother brought in. "He's a human being, for God's sake!" He's also an underpaid under five actor with enough balls to wear actual makeup. Suresh refuses that shit. Spirit gum? Oh hayell no. You better invisi tape some sores on. You ain't messing with my pretty face! You know he's had that argument with the producers. "I'll be evil, but I won't be ugly."

No matter how much the budget is cut, Suresh will keep his hairdresser or NBC will have a lawsuit on their hands.
