On the third try, he completely stops time. Now he can do some wacky things to mess with people! He turns the girl with a straw loaded with spit balls so they'll hit her friend, he drags a guy out of the bathroom mid pee and aims him at a baby in a highchair, and then he sits an old woman down in front of a bowling ball that's about to release. Sure enough, when he starts time again, a little girl gets a spit wad to the face, a baby starts drowning in confused peepee and there are old lady brains all over lane 6.
Well, at least we're on the same page.
Back at Shady Pines, Parkman is realizing that Angela won't be tickled awake. He decides to go into her head and tells Daphne to protect him while he's under. You know that brain is full of Michael Buble CDs and racks of Sarah Palin suits. When Matt's eyes go blank, Daph cuts off all his hair.
In the dark cavernous cell, Elle is still electrocuting Sylar. He gets up and tells her that he never wanted to kill all those people. He's not gonna let his addiction to brains bring him down anymore. He understands her anger and her betrayal. Take it out on him! She does. She gives it everything she's got, and this time his shirt is conveniently obliterated. That was some tough cotton. She's electrocuted him like five times. She's all out of energy, and he's almost out of clothes, so she calls time out and begs him to make out with kill her. Dear Elle, Men don't change. Love, Flipit.
Tracy and Nathan are standing outside of Pinehurst. We know, because there's a giant slab that says Pinehurst. Tracy suggests that Nathan might not wanna meet his dad, seeing as how he pretended to be dead. In other words, Papi done broke up with you girl. Read some Chopra and move on. He won't hear of it. He spent his whole life trying to please that old bastard and he's gonna have his say!
Papa is waiting for them, and he wants a hug. Tracy starts taking off her belt and he's like "no, ho. That wasn't code. Get out." She doesn't even blush as she leaves the office for the boys to have some bonding time. Nathan accuses his father of trying to end the world, and Papa says that he's trying to get the formula right to save the world. What's the point of being rich with no stores? He says that Nathan's past couple of weeks (the assasination, Linderman, the flashback to Rena Sofer, the game of Tetris he won on his phone, the pod people, the lowest ratings ever) are all part of his destiny. Nathan wants no part of his dirty games, so Papa pulls out the "You've always been my favorite" song and dance and Peter starts the whole "then why am I empty inside and bloated on the outside?" Sorry, projecting again. I need to learn to control my powers...
Like Sylar, who has just gone from being a sociopathic serial killer to a shirtless emo prince in like three episodes.
I'll dry your tears after my last pushup, my love. It's called dedication. Now. Tell me how you feel and then we're off to catch The Magic Flute after a romantic dinner at Red Lobster.
Elle is still begging to be killed so her pain will stop, but Sylar says that he's not going to kill her because he's a good person now. Elle's all no you're a monster like me! Then Sylar explains that when your in your almost thirties, it's important to learn that everything that's wrong in your life is your parents fault. She tries to hurt him by telling him that she only pretended to understand him because she was following orders. He forgives her, but the important thing is to forgive herself. And with that and and a couple of deep breaths, her pain is gone and he's got electricity flowing from his hands. Empathy or pop psych bullshit? OY. A little feel good afternoon television could have stopped the evil three seasons ago.
Watch Oprah, save the world.

I just loved the Elle and Sylar scenes- HOT ! (Waay better than the Daphne and Matt romance- yawn.) That is what saved this episode for me.
I am so over Hiro and Ando.

You have my deepest sympathy for having to try nd recap such a shitty episode. These writers think we're morons. Oh that's right, we just don't know how to truly watch this show in a superior way......
It's a good thing your recaps are way better than this show. You at least see it for the crap it is!

flip, this was so Fozzie of a recap!!!! Loved it!!!! Better than the epi by far. I'm so glad I just get toasted and let it all slide by without too much thought, tho, even I cannot bring myself to bear the Hiro story lines . . . and I'm glad Tracy's a biotch, she looks good with that evil zeal on her face!!!! XOXOXOX
