Heroes Season 3 Episode 5

Previously on Heroes Season 3 Episode 4, Sylar blew up the future after being creepily nice, Parkman saw his rewritten future come true, Nathan saved Tracy from herself, and Hiro dug up Adam.

Nathan needs to know: is he an angel or a monster, a hero or a villain? He’s having difficulty believing Linderman’s actually there to help him.

Peter doesn’t want to be Sylar’s brother. Sylar stops him just short of ripping his mother’s skull open to get any more secrets she has been keeping.

After looking through a list of potential bad guys, Meredith promises Sandra that she’ll return Claire. They’re on the right trail. She is after Stephen Canfield, a guy who creates vortexes and makes people disappear forever.

Adam’s not happy to see Hiro, seeing as he buried him alive and all. Hiro’s willing to take risks to save the world. Adam says the villain is probably Angela Petrelli, an answer Hiro doesn’t like.

Linderman approaches Daphne and asks her to recruit for his organization for a new world order. She’s okay with whatever gets her paid.

Claire tells Stephen she’s bringing him back where he belongs. He just wants to find his family, as the company took them away from him, so now they probably think he abandoned them. He says he never meant to hurt anybody and that they have it all wrong. They just locked him up without a trial, and he just wants to see his wife, even if it’s for the last time.

Tracy’s struggling with how she killed someone, and she wants to turn herself in. Nathan wants her to know that would be a mistake because their powers are from God. Her powers are from a doctor in Reseda, though.

Claire feels sympathetic for Stephen and helps him get in touch with his wife. As their phone call is dropped, her father barges in along with Sylar. So then he opens up a vortex. With luck, the vortex doesn’t suck anybody into any hell dimension or anything. Stephen has escaped, though, and Claire is still looking to protect him. She trusts her father and tells him where he can find him.

Adam takes Hiro to a bar where he says the speedster was hired. He wants Ando and Hiro to look tough while they’re there. Adam very quickly gets into a bar brawl, ducks a punch, and Hiro gets knocked out. Easy escape for Adam.

Angela tells Nathan and Tracy that Zimmerman was instrumental in the development of synthetic abilities, which they gave to people like Tracy… and Nathan.

Maya finds Suresh’s missing neighbor. He’s not so much missing as hanging on a wall. She thinks Suresh has become a monster.

Hiro’s searched everywhere (except the dumpster) and believes Adam is gone. Knox has a little more luck finding Adam, though, and he tosses him into the back of a van.

Angela explains that what they did was wrong and that they divided the formula and hid it so it would never happen again. The formula will be used to create a world full of people with abilities that will end up destroying the world.

Nathan thinks they should go see Suresh since he’s a harmless (mad) scientist.

Stephen’s family never showed up. He thinks maybe they are afraid of him. HRG comes with an offer: make Sylar disappear, and this is all over. Unwilling to be a monster, Stephen decides to just suck himself into a vortex instead.

Hiro’s nemesis Daphne comes recruiting. He tells her they’ve changed, and that they’re bad asses now. Knox wants him to prove himself by killing Ando. So Hiro jabs Ando with a sword.

Sylar says HRG’s just a user, and Claire knows it. He may be a deranged sociopath, but he’s not entirely wrong.

Meredith never found Claire, but she did find Eric and is busy having dinner with him thanks to his mind control.

Angela hears a scream. She walks out to find Nathan and Tracy on the ground. Peter apparently didn’t do it because he, too, collapses. A man walks in and tells her she can’t stop him because she won’t even be able to move.

Daphne’s not happy about Ando being killed. Linderman wants her to recruit Parkman. She’s figured something out. She can sneak up on everybody, but she can’t sneak up on Linderman… because he’s not really there.

It appears all the strings are being pulled by Arthur Petrelli, the father.
