The conclusion of the eclipse showed most of the heroes just how week they are without their powers in Heroes Season 3 Episode 11, but now everything’s back to normal. With that said, Hiro’s traveled back in time with Claire to see her when she was first born.
Claire knows who Hiro is, but as she tries to find out more, she realizes a critical detail: he doesn’t understand a word she’s saying.
Hiro’s mom tells his father that she’s dying and they must make arrangements for the catalyst before it’s too late. She hopes to keep it in the family, but he suggests Claire, who has decided she must prevent them from injecting her.
Sylar’s decided he’s not helping Arthur any more, or anyone else for that matter. Before he looks for more people with abilities, though, he has to torch Elle’s body.
Angela warns Peter that Arthur will destroy him if he gets in the way.
Nathan returns to Pinehearst and tells his father he’s taking over. He finds out Tracy’s been working there, she claims on his behalf, and forming an army of potential heroes, literally.
Claire goes into her house and decides to change her own diaper. A little creepy. While there, she warns her mother to not let her out of her sight.
Sylar stops by to see his first new power holder, Sue Landers, a human lie detector.
The Marines think they’re going to get some sort of drug, supposedly safe. That’s a risk they’re willing to take if it will make them better, perhaps more than only human.
Parkman, Ando, and Daphne arrive to see about the messenger who got the sketches from Isaac Mendez. A little bit of mind reading and bribery later, they get the guy to say he’s cooperating. He takes off on his bike with the sketches when they’re not looking. Good thing there’s a speedster with them who can cause him to run into a car.
Hiro’s father believes that he is too irresponsible to handle being the catalyst.
Claire’s father comes home and wants to know who she is and what the hell she wants. When the company calls, she manages to convince him not to answer because they plan to take Claire back and do something to her.
Likewise, Hiro has a chat with his mom, and he tells her he’s from the future. She wants to know everything about his life, but he doesn’t remember. He asks her to heal him like she healed the dove before. With a kiss on the forehead, everything is back. He’s saved the world and hopes to save it again, asking her to give him the catalyst. With her last breaths, she does as he asks.
With the sketch book finally revealed, we see the cover saying that Hiro’s lost in time.
Hiro arrives to see Claire, and he’s speaking English now. Arthur appears and hears their discussion about how the catalyst is in Hiro. Arthur takes the catalyst and Hiro’s powers, then throws him off the roof. Then he tells Claire to tell Angela it’s over and he won. Hiro’s hanging on a light post waiting for somebody to rescue him.
Parkman thinks Arthur will create another time traveler now that he’s got the ability to give people powers, and this time traveler can go back in time and save Hiro. Either that or just get stuck there himself.
Now that he’s got the catalyst, Arthur’s ready to change the world. Nathan’s going to test out the Marine, while Arthur goes to deal with Peter, who arrives with a gun and is there to stop him. The Haitian makes sure Arthur’s not using his powers.
The Haitian tells Peter that he can’t hold on for much longer and that he needs to shoot. After some delay, he shoots, but the bullet is stopped by Sylar. He uses his new truth telling power to find out that Arthur’s not really his father. Peter may not be a killer, but Sylar is. He starts the bullet back up and hits Arthur in the head with it.
