'Heroes' - "Parasite" - A BulletPoint Report

Heroes - NBC





This Heroes report is dedicated to the memory of Sara Emiliano, a real life hero herself although she may not have thought herself one. Fighting Crohn's Disease, she died violently over the weekend. She was good people, funky boots and all. Forever 21, she'll be missed. Rest in peace, Sara.

Sigh... onto the show. Yet another action-packed episode...

  • Isaac blames Peter for Simone's death even though he pulled the trigger.
  • Hiro is in Las Vegas trying to meet Linderman so he can get his Kensei sword.
  • Mr. Bennet, whose memory was wiped by the Haitian last week, wants his daughter back. His boss reminds him that Claire was an "assignment." Matt Parkman (Mind Reading Ex-Cop) listened and affirmed that Bennet doesn't know where Claire is. The boss had made a deal to let him go for "eavesdropping," but left him there.
  • The Haitian told Claire that she must leave the country because what they (Papertech) would do to her, not even she could recover from.
  • Nathan is working with the FBI to set up Linderman. Peter was invisible and eavesdropping as he met with the agents. Peter told Nathan that Simone is dead and he feels responsible. Nathan told him to call Suresh.
  • Mr. Bennet came home from the hospital. All of a sudden, his wife knows all that's going on? She told him he told her all about Claire, his job and more in the shower. Something's up, I say.
  • The woman from Primatech (can't recall her name) arrived at the Bennet's home to take Bennet away as there was a "paper emergency."
  • HEROES: Sylar & Suresh
  • Sylar, still posing as Zane Taylor, is working with Suresh. He volunteers to call Isaac Mendez, but said the line was busy. "Who else from the list should I call?" "No one. I already have you, Mr. Sylar." Yep, Mohinder finally caught on and figured Sylar out. He put curare in his tea to render his powers useless.
  • Nathan and Hiro bump into each other in Vegas. Nathan knows Hiro wants the sword and helps him through to the museum curator.
  • Claire's new identity is Vivian Lewis from Canada. But when she and the Haitian go through boarding at the airport, Claire stole his papers so he couldn't board. But she already blew it - she told him she wanted to go see Peter Petrelli.
  • Bennet's Primatech Woman (ack, name... I need her name) and Bennet showed up at Isaac's in NYC. She morphed into Simone when the NYPD knocked on his door investigating gunshots and bearing a Simone photo.
  • Mohinder has decided Sylar is a parasite feeding off the powers of others. He wants to kill him for killing his father. Sylar told him that his father told him everything about his sister, how he didn't want to work with Mohinder because he was too delicate, etc. Mohinder said Sylar was called PatientHEROES: Hiro Zero by his father and he needed spinal fluid before killing him.
  • Back in Vegas, Hiro delivered the ripped Isaac painting to the curator, then tried to steal the sword when he left for a moment. The curator caught him and called security. The security guard turned out to be Ando, who had been following Hiro. Hiro got the sword and his powers back. He teleports himself and Ando to escape the other Linderman guards.
  • Oh, no. They teleport into the future, landing on the Deveaux Building roof which is wrecked, as is the city around them. Hiro thinks he failed to save the world.
  • Back in vegas again, Jessica killed the FBI agents working with Nathan. But then Nikki showed up to tip off Nathan. She told him that he can't kill him, he must make a deal with him. She told him that Linderman knows he turned on him.
  • Meanwhile, Sylar was able to stop his IV as Mohinder said he needed four genes. He asked Mohinder for salvation. When Mohinder had what he needed, Sylar stopped the bullet shot at him and escaped his bonds. He told Mohinder he wasn't begging for his own life, he was offering him his.
  • Back at the Bennet's home, it turns out that Bennet's wife is actually morphed Primatech Girl and the boss turns up. "He is going to be a problem." Uh-oh.
  • Isaac took drugs to paint more.
  • Claire went to Peter's apartment where her grandmother (remember, she doesn't know Nathan is her father) answered the door. Oops, the Haitian is there and she's in cahoots with it all, too.
  • Nathan went to kill Linderman, an unlikely evil older man in a restaurant kitchen cooking. Linderman gave him a speech about how you can have a life of happiness or a life of meaning, but you can't have them both. If you choose a life with meaning, you'll wallow in the past and worry about the future. He told Nathan he can win the election and be near the White House in just two years - a life of meaning.
  • Nathan didn't shoot him.
  • Peter arrived looking for Mohinder. Mohinder had been stuck on the ceiling (I'd say velcro!) by Sylar. Sylar started to cut Peter's head with his super-finger to steal his brain. The last shot was that silly lock of hair falling on the floor with blood drops.HEROES: Linderman
Heroes goes on hiatus returning April 23rd. They say they've saved the cheerleader, when they return it'll be time to save the world. I'll have to go through Heroes withdrawal, how about you?

I had to miss it tonight to see a staged reading of new musical play (ugh, it was terrible)... so I'm already going through HEROES withdrawal! And I'm waiting for the episode to get posted...

Thanks for the recap in the meantime!

Jackie -- what's your best guess as to why they are doing this type of jumping on Network TV? Maybe cuz cable can do whatever they want, now network can too? The learned they had a hit on their hands after about the 3rd ep... and only did ther requisite 13 eps for this season, and so way back when added more eps and needed time to write/shoot edit them? Are spreading out the eps they shot to last the whole spring? Want to keep us in tension and are just spacing it out? WHAT?

Thanks ;-)

Did anyone else call the TV a few choice words when they left us hanging and THEN tell us they'll resume on 4/23? OMG! I about had a coronary. I even scared both of my cats. (LOL!)

Nancy b- that's funny! I was about to have that reaction but my relief that they weren't going to make us wait til FALL made April seem like a bonus!

Cool to see not only George Takei but also Roddy McDowell and Eric Roberts on the show. When I looked at Roddy and Eric I guess, I thought, geeze, these guys have gotten almost unrecognisable.. has that much time passed? Then I realize, it's passed for me as well (even if I am younger) and soon people may be thinking this about me! LOL!

Has anyone else had that experience? It's enough to have you check yourself for a second in the mirror!
