The heroes escaped from the crashed plane… and then all returned to the same place and the scene of the wreck later on in Heroes Season 3 Episode 15.
Claire’s at home having a normal breakfast with a normal family when she receives a text message from the rebel looking for her help. HRG warns her that they can’t stray from the script because they’re being watched after her little plane crash problem. After he tells her she’d better be ready for class and leaves the room, she gets another text telling her to warn Alex at Sam’s Comics.
Nathan’s list of targets includes Sylar, who’s off to meet his father with Luke. They’re heading west, but Luke won’t tell him where.
Claire arrives to see Alex, who’s surprised to see a girl. She struggles to convince him until she jabs something through her hand and heals. When HRG shows up, it’s time to run.
They try sneaking out (poorly), and Alex runs into HRG. So Claire calls him, which is enough of a distraction to knock HRG down and make a run for it.
Ando and Hiro have arrived in New Delhi, India as planned. Hiro plans to save the bridge and stop the wedding like in Parkman’s drawing. Ando goes to see the bride and shows her his powers as a sign of whether she should marry or not. So the wedding is off.
DHS is now running Nathan’s show. He wants to reinforce the facilities to deal with his magic prisoners. Abby Collins doesn’t buy what he’s selling, and she demands to see the prisoner being held without a warrant or rights.
Sylar tells Luke to stop trying to be his friend or die. Luke brings up a red wagon, which Sylar remembers (who didn’t have a red wagon?). This happy memory ends with Luke’s revelation that Sylar was sold because his dad needed cash.
Abby knows Tracy, and she vows to end Nathan.
Alex can breathe underwater, though he’s never told anyone. He and Claire have been followed by the car registration, which they realize just in time to bail and run.
Hiro’s sulking because Ando stole his chance to have his powers back. He tells Ando to go save the bride, which he attempts to do before being beaten down and carried away. Hiro plans to save him and runs in with a loaf of bread, ready to attack.
HRG is told that his daughter’s car is parked half a block away from his current location.
Luke and Sylar are having dinner, and Sylar has to tell him his powers are not for amusement. Sylar hopes to meet his father to find out why he turned out the way he did. With that, Luke gives him the address, hoping he won’t kill him now. As some men show up, they make their way out slowly, but turn into half a dozen pretty quickly. Sylar proceeds to fling people around, and they learn that bullets are useless. Sylar thanks Luke for the address and drives away. Then Luke is shot.
Now that Ando’s been kidnapped, the wedding is back on. Hiro objects as the ceremony is happening. The wedding is back off again, or so the bride requests. So the groom calls off the wedding and agrees to give Hiro his lousy friend back.
HRG asks Claire if she knows what kind of trouble she’d be in if people think he can’t control her any more. She responds that he can’t.
Nathan receives notice that the project has been terminated. He asks for 5 minutes to prove what’s going on. His argument is that they’re so dangerous they have no Constitutional rights. As they’re talking, Tracy escapes and takes a hostage, which she then freezes and smashes before getting tasered and recaptured. Abby agrees to give him all the funding he needs.
Claire tells her mom what’s going on with her dad. It’s worse than the company. They’re taking anyone with an ability, dangerous or not. His argument is that either he’s onboard, or Claire’s on the list.
Tracy thinks that Nathan wanted her to escape because he knew exactly what would happen if she did.
Hiro doesn’t have his powers back, but he has learned that he doesn’t need them to be a hero. They have received a fax from Rebel of an address in LA.
HRG is moving out of the house, but he’ll be around, as will Claire’s new buddy Alex who’s hiding in the closet.
Sylar returned to get Luke, and they’re driving west again.
Despite Tracy’s accusations, Nathan wasn’t the one who let her escape, but her getting out was no accident. Somebody had to die to save the project.
Drinking at the bar, HRG goes all fuzzy and collapses, being picked up by Peter, Suresh, and Parkman.

Really enjoyed reading the first 3 parts of Heroes series 3 part 2, as I was ill and missed them all. Thanks! – don’t think I could have watched 3 in a row – too busy catching up on housework!
Cheers, Fiona
