Mohinder Suresh opens the episode in his native India, teaching students about plate tectonics and Pangea. His girlfriend finds a box of his fathers research films from the 1960's and pitches a fit. She explains that Mohinder goes to a "Dark place" when he gets involved in his fathers work. Good thing he doesn't listen to her, and studies the LOST-y film reels anyways.
Mohinder discovers that Samuel caused earth quakes even while in the womb. He discovers that Samuel's power can be magnified "a thousandfold" if there are enough people with abilities within close vacinity to him. Shazam! Finally, the answer! I knew he had evil, selfish, alterior motives this whole time.
Mohinder goes to the U.S. to find Samuel, but talks to his brother, Joseph about how he has been spending 40 years keeping this secret from his brother. Joseph seemed to be trustworthy and very intelligent. Maybe he has the power of persuasion? Who knows, but it was nice to put a face to a name finally.
Joseph tells Mohinder to leave and never come back, and Samuel is revealed to have heard their entire conversation. He follows Mohinder back to his hotel and demands to see whats on the tape, how he can increase his power. Respectfully, our Indian professor declines, and is riddled with crushed rocks (not bullets like I previously thought). Samuel freaks out and says "I'm sorry" before running out of the hotel room.
Mohinder gets up from his wound, revealing a bullet proof vest and a happy Hiro hiding behind the bed. Samuel told him to get the film for him, but not to save his friend's life. Hiro decided to do both. He switched the original Suresh film out with a decoy when he stopped time before Samuel arrived.
Hiro tells Mohinder of Samuel's blackmail with Charlie, and tells Mohinder to hide for 8 weeks so it looks like he let him die. Mohinder refuses, and Hiro places him in a padded room in an insane asylum with a fake name. Sounds like something Bennett would do. But hey, Hiro has to do what he has to do.
Hiro goes back to the present time where Samuel is sitting at the head of the dinner table like a king, and hands him his precious film. Hiro asks him where Charlie is, and, like an asshole, Samuel says "Soon."
What? Soon? He just potentially let his friend die, and risked his own health for a stupid film and he says "Soon"?
He pats Hiro on the back and says "Sorry your friend had to die," and just walks away. Jesus, Samuel. You are positively prime evil.
Back in Virginia/Washington, Claire does laundry at Noah's apartment in some booty shorts. Clearly it was laundry day. She finds the door busted with ice and finds an unstable Tracy Strauss freaking out about her powers. She can't control them, and ends up freezing Claire solid. Oops! She forgets that Claire can heal, and she ends up being fine. The two of them talk things out and have a girls night in. Tracy talks about Samuel and his carnival and how she really wants to start over. Claire tells her to do it, that maybe it is what is best for her.
Does Claire not remember last week's stream of events? Oh well, Tracy isn't Claire, I guess. Noah comes home with groceries and he's all "Hey ladies". Like it is normal for Tracy to be there. Like Tracy didn't tell him to 'Never call me again." last time they hung out and got a teenager hogtied. Forgive and forget, I guess.
Tracy ends up meeting Samuel in a diner ready to start a new life. Should be a good edition. I like the two of them together, especially for how close she is to Noah. I hope she talks about Noah while she is with Samuel and he gets jealous. LOL.
Anywho, the big deal of this episode is that Peter can heal, and he thinks Nathan is still Nathan. The Haitian pays him a visit and gives him the location of a locker with Nathan's dead cold body inside. That's odd, my brother is right next to me.... "it must be a shape-shifter." He tells himself. De-Nial. Sylar/Nathan touches Nathan's body and sees flashes of Nathan's death. He hears Matt Parkman's voice in the flashes and decides to go to him for answers. Great. Just what we don't need. Peter and "Nathan' find out Matt's been shot, and go to the hospital. Peter heals him and Sylar convinces Nathan to touch him for just a second. An exchange of energy is distributed, and Sylar leaves Matt's psyche. Sylar is supposedly back into his body but still looks like our politician. He takes Peter and flies out the window, feeling all of this conflict and self-pity. He clearly still has a lot of Nathan in him. Which can be good, but there is no telling how long it will last.
Peter is in denial throughout the entire episode, even though his own brother says that Nathan is dead, and he is just shadows of different memories from these two people. The episode ends after this revelation with a black screen and the words "To be continued..." written in white text. Really? You're going to continue this story? I had no idea. I don't see why they even bother putting that there. Maybe it's a comic book thing that i should get, but don't. If that is the case, I apologize.
The Sylar Peter Nathan plot was kind of expected and boring in this episode. Samuel's past and motives being revealed really got me excited. I have never had to wait this long for a character/plot reveal in an episode/volume of Heroes before. Sure, it happens in LOST, but that is part of the beauty of its immaculate storytelling. And it is done on purpose. Here is was just irritating and almost maddening. Phew!
Now all of these thoughts of Samuel gaining this power are rushing through my head. I can imagine this beautiful battle between him and Sylar. Or Peter. Or him, Sylar, and Peter. Whoa. I wonder what he's done to Charlie if he doesn't want to reveal her to Hiro just yet. I wonder how many other people he's killed in his past. i wonder if he was the one to actually kill his brother, Joseph. Maybe he foud out he was being betrayed this whole time and flipped out on him. Only time will tell, but the bar has been raised. Samuel will be our new super villain. And he will have Tracy on his side. I am satisfied.For once (this season).
