Claire and her father were sunk below ground by Samuel in Heroes Season 4 Episode 18, while Peter and Sylar escaped from years of solitude in Sylar’s mind.

Parkman gets a visit from Eli, who came alone this time, so to speak. He’s there to make sure he and the other heroes in his house are not a problem for Samuel.

Samuel wants Emma to play her cello, but she’s worried about her dream and the thousands of people who will die. He does not deny that the dream is true, so Doyle will mind control her into playing.

Hiro hops out of his hospital bed, brain healed and powers intact.

Peter goes inside Eli’s head, where he finds out that Samuel plans to open up the ground in Central Park. Regardless, Parkman has no plans to let Sylar out of his house.

Claire’s got a plan to dig her way out. HRG has given up. He figures Samuel put them down there so she can watch him die. Since her lungs will regenerate, she should be fine.

Hiro has received an origami crane, which he assumes must have come from Charlie. He goes down to the hall to see her. She’s aged a little. 65 years to be exact.

Sylar invites Parkman inside his head to see what he finds and make the call whether to let him leave or not. After doing so, he reluctantly agrees to trust them to leave.

Playing in the park, Emma is packing in the crowd. Along with the onlookers are news cameras, which Samuel has made sure show up so that the world can know.

Charlie was taken back to 1944, and she has lived all this time.

Claire’s dad wants a promise from her before he dies: that she’ll hide. As he collapses, she digs and sees water pouring in. It’s Tracy. Good thing he can swim. Lauren has lined up a chopper to take them to the carnival’s new location.

Charlie’s dying. So Hiro tells her he can fix this. Oh no. His plan is to go back to 1944 and take her back to the diner.

Sylar arrives at the carnival and finds Emma playing. He’s come to save her. First, he’ll need to overcome Doyle’s mind control.

Claire reveals Samuel’s plans to his people. They don’t much seem to care. Edgar, however, has decided that he does want to stop Samuel, so he wants to know what HRG’s plan is.

When Hiro tells Charlie his plan, she’s not interested. She already had a long happy life, and she wouldn’t want to see her children and grandchildren impacted by changing the past (again). Hiro has realized the story has come to an end.

Now that that’s settled, destiny calls. Noah needs help in New York.

Seems Doyle has underestimated Sylar’s power. It’s not long before he breaks free and gets Emma to stop playing. He’s not like Doyle. He’s a hero.

Undeterred by the room’s lack of concern, Claire tells them that Samuel draws his power from them, and that he killed his brother so that he could gain greater power. Edgar believes her. Eli then reveals that he killed Lydia to make it look like an outsider did it. With everybody sufficiently wigged, they bail and leave Samuel on his own in an attempt to make him just an ordinary guy.

They might consider running if they’re going to prevent a massacre. Samuel gets on stage and begins to make the earth quake. He’s not going to hurt anyone, not if Peter can help it.

Hiro arrives just in time. He needs to teleport everyone out of there. Maybe if Ando supercharges him and everybody holds hands. It works, and Samuel is powerless.

Volume 5 ends, and Volume 6 Brave New World begins.

Claire intends to show the press what really happened there tonight. Rather, she intends to show them by climbing the ferris wheel. Then leaping off.

With its continued ratings slide and expensive production values, there is a lot of speculation that Heroes season 5 will not happen. At this time, however, no decision has been made regarding either renewal or cancellation. Working in its favor is the fact that NBC does not have very much else to turn to, and with Leno having been cancelled, there are 5 hours a week to fill.

Only the required number of girls went home in The Bachelor Season 14 Episode 5, as Jake sent Corrie home. Tonight, Jake will be going to all of the girls’ homes.

First up is Gia’s hometown of New York. They go on a boat and take pictures of various landmarks of the city. Jake brings up that Gia never talks about her previous relationships. Her one serious boyfriend did bad things like cheating on her with all of her friends. I sure hope she’s gotten a new set of friends. They go to dinner with her mother, stepfather, stepbrother, and half brother. The family is full of paraonia that she’ll get hurt again. Her mom thinks he’s got love for her, although Gia remains worried that he’s just doing the same things with everyone else as he is with her.

From the big city we head to Ali and the quaint little town of Williamstown, MA. There’s not much to do there but hang out on the street. So they go to her dead grandmother’s house. For dinner, they go to meet her mom, sister, and brother. Last time she brought a guy home, her mom did not approve, and that was the end of that. Ali’s family does not seem overly skeptical about Jake, and he does not end up getting the third degree. If he asked her today, she would say yes. We normally don’t hear that for at least one more week.

Tenley’s hometown of Newberg, OR is next. As they chat by the lake, she brings up her ex-husband, who she says let someone else plan most of his life. Jake runs most everything past his parents. She brings him to the dance studio she grew up in, and she has choreographed a dance for him, something her ex was never interested in (yeah, I get the feeling we’re going to hear about that guy a lot). Jake expects cautiousness when he meets her dad, mom, and sister. The last time she was there, she told her parents that her ex was not coming back. Watching last season, her father said he wished she’d meet that guy. Jake’s got a question for her mom: is Tenley ready to go down that road again, having just gotten divorced in the last year. Her warning for him: she’ll have emotional spill overs for a while. His last question is for her father: can he marry his daughter?

Vienna gets the last hometown date in Sanford, FL. They also get a boat ride on the river she grew up on. She wishes him luck with her father, who hasn’t liked either of the guys she brought home in the past. They meet her father, mother, and apparently sister. Vienna and her dad are in tears the second she walks in the door. She’s fallen for Jake, something she hasn’t done before. Her father expects her to be treated like a princess.

Jake gets a knock on the door when he’s relaxing in his room. A tearful Ali is at the door. Either she stays there, or she goes back to work. I saw this twist last season. His advice to her is to weigh which decision would be the bigger regret. He can’t guarantee her she’ll get the ring. She guesses she’ll let him know at the rose ceremony.

As the rose ceremony begins, Ali asks to talk to Chris. She still doesn’t know what to do. Basically, she doesn’t want to give an answer until Jake lets her know she will survive the axe. After listening to her whine for a while, he finally breaks his stance and tells her he doesn’t want her to go because he will not send her packing. That said, she just wants a little bit more time. Oh, can we find a way to draw this out any more? After some more consideration, she says she has to go. Surely she already knew that before putting him and herself through this.

This begs the question: which of the other three girls was going to get cut?

Oh, and next week, Jake gets a call from Ali. Oh geez.

“What Kate Does” was written by Edward Kitsis & Adam Horowitz and directed by Paul Edwards.

Sneak Peek

Lost Season 6 Episode 1 was a tale of two cities. On the one hand was a group of people who landed as scheduled. On the other was a group of people still trapped on the island, including dead Juliet and dying Sayid.

Jack gets paged when the flight lands. There’s been a mix up involving the “cargo” he checked in Sydney. The coffin was never put on the plane. It’s not there, and they don’t know when it will arrive because they’re not exactly sure where it is.

Sawyer stays behind to bury Juliet, while the others go to the temple with Hurley to try to save Sayid. Underground, things start to go wrong. Kate disappears. Hurley starts yelling. Then Jack gets punched.

Kate asks the agent for permission to go to the bathroom. He reluctantly agrees, and there’s good reason for his reluctance, as she immediately starts breaking herself out of those cuffs. He discovers something is wrong but not in time to prevent her from smashing the door into his face and stealing his gun.

Since Miles talks to dead people, Sawyer wants him to find out what Juliet wanted to tell him before she died. She wanted to tell him: it worked.

The rest of the group are being escorted by a bunch of people with guns, who take them to the temple. They’re instructed to shoot them, until Hurley says that Jacob sent them. After opening the guitar case and reading what’s inside, they take Sayid to the spring. Seeing as how he carried the case across the ocean and through time, Hurley would like an explanation. If Sayid dies, they’re all in a lot of trouble.

Jin’s being held up at the airport. His case full of money has attracted the attention of security. Sun pretends she doesn’t speak any English, and Jin hasn’t learned either, not having been on the island.

Sayid is brought into the spring, where he’s held underwater. They can’t let him up until the hourglass runs out. After what appears to be too long, they let him up. Then they say he’s dead.

Kate finds an escape to go outdoors, where she’s made to wait in line for a cab. During her wait, she’s spotted, so she hops in the first cab she sees. He already has a customer, Claire, but Kate’s gun gives him the hint that she wants him to step on the gas.

When Hurley reveals that Jacob is dead, the entire place goes on full scale alert.

The black smoke (aka John Locke) wants the one thing that John Locke didn’t: he wants to go home.

Sawyer has decided he no longer intends to kill Jack. Rather, he’ll just let him suffer there like the rest of them.

Jack, whose father’s body is “in transit,” meets Locke at the airport. He lost a bag of knives. After they talk, Jack says he’s a spinal surgeon, and nothing’s irreversible.

Locke beats up and carries Richard away. He’s very disappointed in all of them. As he’s leaving, he passes his body on the ground.

Jack gets a “polite” request to have a conversation with the others. Either he goes with them willingly, or he’ll be dragged away. They’re gonna have to do this the hard way then. But with Sayid waking up and all, that interrupts the party.

Sneak Peek

Lost Season 5 left off with Juliet setting off a hydrogen bomb. The theory was that, if they do that, the flight lands as scheduled.

We start off the final season back on the plane, which hits turbulence. After some bumps, the captain apologizes for the rough ride and promises things will go smoothly from then on.

When Bernard comes back from the bathroom, Jack heads and checks out a cut he’s got on his neck. Upon returning, he bumps into Desmond. Do they know each other?

Kate wakes up in not quite as a happy a place. She’s up a tree in the jungle. When she climbs down, she runs into Miles, and he, too, is having trouble hearing. She says they’re back. If only he knew what she was talking about. Then they discover Jack and Sawyer on the ground at the hatch. Sawyer’s none too pleased that Jack was wrong and Juliet’s dead.

Back on the plane, everybody’s just having a normal flight. Kate’s still a prisoner. Hurley’s still the luckiest guy alive.

Hurley, Sayid, and Sylar wake up at the van. Sayid’s not doing so well and needs a doctor. Meanwhile, they hear a voice from under the rubble. Juliet’s not so dead after all.

Jin continues to control his wife Sun. Locke is sitting on the plane next to Boone, who we haven’t seen in a while. I hear he’s a vampire now. Locke’s convinced they could survive a crash in the water.

Having killed Jacob, Ben keeps starting at the fire. Why didn’t he fight back? Outside, Sun and Frank are with Richard, whose people say they’re the good guys. At Locke’s request, Ben goes outside to get Richard to come talk to John… who he finds is the body on the ground.

Hurley meets Jacob, the guy who gave him the ticket that landed him on that island. He’s also the guy who happened to die an hour ago. Never mind that, though. Sayid, who’s dying on the ground, needs to be saved by being brought to the temple.

The flight attendant calls for a doctor. Charlie went into the bathroom half an hour ago and is not responding, and they can’t get the door unlocked. Perhaps Sayid can be of assistance by kicking the door down. Charlie’s not breathing, but Jack pulls out a bag of heroine that was stuck in his throat and saves him.

After clearing the debris, Sawyer climbs down to find Juliet, who’s not dead but knows that the plan didn’t work.

Ben’s dragged back inside at gunpoint. Locke is in there as promised, but he breaks the news that Jacob is dead. So now they want to kill him. That cloud of black smoke coming toward them isn’t going to allow that to happen. After the guys are all taken care of, Locke apologizes to Ben for having had to see him like that.

Juliet tells Sawyer she needs to tell him something important, but that’s the last thing she says to him, for which he blames the doc.

Charlie, who’s now being escorted in handcuffs, is not happy to have been saved by Jack. He was supposed to die. As for Kate, she, too, is marched off the plane in cuffs. Locke, meanwhile, awaits assistance to be wheeled off the plane. For some, their little island paradise was not so bad.
