Claire tried to be normal for about five minutes but ultimately joined the rebel cause in Heroes Season 3 Episode 16. Hiro finally learned a lesson that he doesn’t need powers to be a hero, and after working on capturing all the heroes, HRG ultimately collapsed in a bar, being dragged off by those he had captured.

Parkman, Sylar, and Suresh came up with a plan to kidnap Noah by drugging him. They realize they don’t have much of an alternative. With his mind compromised, Parkman is able to get into his head and see what happened five weeks ago. Angela wanted him to know the company’s time has passed and that it’s over. He wants to adapt and get it right, but she’s tired of this whole thing. Now Parkman realizes that he’s going to be able to get to the memories he needs, and he’s willing to push as far as necessary, against Suresh’s concerns.

Nathan’s hunter, Danko, wants surveillance on HRG, and he’s also spying on Nathan, who he doesn’t trust either.

Parkman wants to keep pushing on, despite the pain he’s inadvertently inflicting. Back to four weeks ago. Nathan arrives at the Bennet house to talk to HRG. Everything’s going to change, but Claire will be safe. He plans to replace Primatech with the resources and authority of the United States government. Certain exceptions will be made, like Nathan. And Claire, if HRG agrees to help. He hopes to have scientists figure out how to remove the abilities. HRG warns him he’s going to be seen as the villain, and none of the heroes will understand. Noah’s tired of doing crossword puzzles anyway, so he’s game.

With that last memory, they got the combination to HRG’s storage, which contains everything they need. Peter will go and just hopes Mohinder and Parkman don’t kill each other while he’s gone. Peter’s heist is being monitored, and Danko knows exactly where to find him now.

Nathan wants Peter caught, but without bloodshed. The team arrives with their weapons on stun, but then Peter just flies out. HRG warns that Peter’s probably dead, and they sent him right where they wanted him.

Now we go back to three weeks ago, in an attempt to find out who else he’s working with. HRG defends some of the people that are being targeted, but Danko doesn’t have any interest in any of them. HRG hops in a cab with Suresh as the driver and tells him what’s happening. He needs his assistance to stop the government program from blowing up in their faces. Parkman thinks that’s why Suresh really didn’t want him in his head, not because he was hurting him. Suresh said no, but he never saw anything that he could do to stop it even after he found out he was telling the truth. When they turn around, HRG’s gone.

They dash through the parking lot while Noah steals a car. Peter’s back just in time, landing on the windshield, and then they tie him back up. Peter knows they’re going to be caught up to eventually.

Time to go into his head, with or without the drugs. Back to one week ago. HRG arrives at Danko’s door. Danko sees this as a war, which requires single-minded focus. The people are just targets. Having done this for 20 years, HRG views the key as seeing people’s humanity, not their abilities, but he agrees that Danko’s the boss. Peter’s got another address.

Danko tells Peter to just go ahead and kill him. That will prove how dangerous abilities are. Nathan’s there now. He seems to have arrived rather quickly. Peter fires a shot, enough to wound Danko. Nathan warns Peter that he can’t pull the trigger because, if he does, Suresh and Parkman are dead. Danko’s not happy with his life being saved. He was hoping that Suresh and Parkman would be killed.

When he grabs a gun, Parkman’s told that Daphne’s alive. HRG agrees to let him go back inside his head without fighting so he can see for himself. Two days ago, he saw her, still alive despite the wound to her shoulder. In order to allow him the time to find this out, Suresh is outside and sacrificing himself, getting captured. Then the guys barge in the room and get Parkman to surrender, too.

Suresh is awakened inside Building 26. Nathan tells him the plane was taking them to a location that was supposed to contain them, but the hardliners now believe based on their actions that containment is not possible. He asks for his help to eliminate the powers. Daphne’s alive, for now, until his associates start killing people.

HRG promises Danko his complete focus. Danko blames Nathan’s personal issues for the heroes getting away. HRG believes now that Danko trusts him, although Angela doesn’t believe he trusts anybody.

Parkman’s painting the future, but he doesn’t like the mass destruction at his hands that he’s painted.

Jason eliminated Jillian in The Bachelor 13 Episode 7. Before he makes his decision as to which of the remaining two to propose to, it’s time for the women to tell all.

Jason says he was surprised by the controversial things Megan had done because he was unaware of it. He was, also, surprised by her over the top slipping him the tongue on the set of General Hospital. In another memorable moment, he rejected Shannon’s advances because she was blubbering, which really was not the right time. Watching Jason on The Bachelorette was one of the ways that helped Stephanie cope with losing her husband. Next topic is Naomi’s wacky family. Yeah, there really was a dove in that bag. Jillian is Jason’s ultimate friend… and nothing more. Except for the hot tub scene. As for the overnight camping date with Molly, it was completely innocent. Jason claims it was just first base.

Chris and Jason talk about moments that we didn’t get to see. Yeah, that’s apparently possible despite all the filler they have to get through two hours each week. On a horseback riding date, the horse got spooked, and Jason had to hop off it before anything went terribly wrong. On his golfing date, Jason lost his pants to Molly. On another date with Molly, Jason decided to rap for her. Badly, again. What goes on in the fantasy suite? It’s a real overnight with no cameras for 10 hours or so. Jason will let us decide what goes on with that in mind.

Well, we’re coming to the close of another season, which means it’s time for the usual. Trista and Ryan, the show’s only success story over its 16 tries, are back for their semi-annual appearance. They have a baby girl on the way. Trista picks Melissa based on what she’s seen so far.

Chris begs to differ with my (and everybody else’s) assertion that Trista and Ryan are the only ones who have been successful. Charlie and Sarah, having broken up previously, are now back together. Tick tock. She didn’t like that he was a drunk, but he has been off the wagon (or on the wagon, whichever one’s the good one) for about two years now.

The guys from The Bachelorette and the girls from The Bachelor get together from time to time and look for different people to hook up with. They seem to be having more luck than the people who are actually The Bachelor or The Bachelorette. Holly was dating Robert until he got creepy, so now Holly has picked up Jesse after DeAnna dropped him because the limelight faded. Chelsea supposedly posed for Playboy. A lot of the guys have a crush on Amanda, who has opted for Graham. Fred and Noelle have hooked up.

Raquel, Lisa, Erica, Jackie, Megan, Renee, Lauren, Stephanie, Sharon, Natalie, Kari, Shannon, Nikki, Naomi, and Jillian (some of whom I actually remember) are back to dish the dirt.

Lauren and Erica rehash how Lauren threw her and Megan under the bus. Natalie never realized that nobody liked her. Stephanie just wanted to see the positive in everything and didn’t want to talk negatively like everybody else was doing.

Natalie says she was so stuck up because she didn’t have her Blackberry or iPod. She claims she’s only been stereotyped on this show, and she didn’t realize that she had problems with the girls. I’m thinking maybe she could switch to decaf and see some progress.

Jillian, who I expected would make it to the finale, has a lot of support from the audience. She’d make a good The Bachelorette. She really did fall in love with Jason, but at the last rose ceremony, that was the first time she wasn’t sure where she stood in the process. Still wanting to find her best friend, she thinks that maybe she did stop short of where she needed to be to get past that. Her parents thought they were going to get married, and her grandmother loved Jason. Despite how things turned out, she found out that she can and will fall in love. Jason’s not a kraut guy, but he’s not 100% mustard any more either. Chris doesn’t pull any punches: would you do it again? Yes, she would want to be The Bachelorette.

Jason says he’s excited to be there and feels he built a relationship with everybody. Jillian keeps her dignity. She respects Jason’s decision, understanding that there was something not there. No begging him to change his mind (let’s save that for next week and DeAnna’s return). With Naomi, Jason was worried that she wanted to spread her wings, which is something he isn’t in a place to do. Stephanie and Jason are both happy to see each other, with no hard feelings. With his choice, to be revealed next week, Jason says he’s extremely happy.

Considering this season’s ratings success, this comes as no surprise, but they are currently casting for The Bachelor 14.
