Hiro travelled back in time again in Heroes Season 4 Episode 6, this time with a goal to save Charlie. Samuel attempted to get Sylar to turn to the dark side, culminating in the death (thanks to Edgar) of the cop who was after Sylar. HRG and Peter paid a visit to healer Jeremy, which gave Peter a healing power and Noah a new purpose.
Being trapped inside Parkman’s head offers fringe benefits to Sylar: the ability to sleep with his wife.
Jeremy has been locked up by the cops. He seems to be having a pattern with problems in that town. Whether charges are being pressed against him are unclear, but help is just a phone call away. Tracy arrives in the town with no lattes. They won’t release Jeremy to Noah because he’s not family, but it turns out he’s very fond of his aunt Tracy. I’ll bet.
Claire wants to talk about how her roommate has a crush on her. She doesn’t want to mess up the first real friendship she’s had since she left Texas. While they’re chatting, people with hoods and masks bust in. Naturally, Claire beats them up. Next time, they might want to choose a better initiation for their sorority. Realizing what’s going on, Claire allows them to kidnap her and Gretchen so they can spend some time tied up together in the dark. Claire’s gonna need some more time to decide which team she wants to bat for.
When they arrive, they’re left in a room to compete with another pair of girls. The winner gets to sit out Hell week. They’ve been taken to a slaughterhouse to search for clues.
Despite the arrival of Jeremy’s next of kin as requested, the police still want to hold him. They’ve found a drawing and some words in his notebook about being the bringer of death. Noah responds that half the songs in his iPod sound just like that seeing as he’s 17. Jeremy also allegedly kills animals for fun.
Samuel shows up. What’s Tracy’s next move once she frees Jeremy? He takes her to the carnival and insists he’s a friend.
Gretchen hasn’t yet decided either. She has had more boyfriends than girlfriends. Claire, meanwhile, is a virgin. Maybe they’re strange attractors, a physics term for particles that end up together that don’t really belong together but end up super powerful when they are. Fascinating place to be having this discussion. This time, Claire ends up having to save Gretchen’s life from certain doom, and she’s starting to think this isn’t a game.
Matt asks Janice to trust him while he goes out and gets rid of the psycho inside his head. She’d like him to stick around, and she’ll take baby Matt Parkman elsewhere. His plan is to call Suresh.
HRG has given Jeremy a new identity, Jared Mitchell. He will be living a few doors down the hall from him in DC. Tracy assures him nothing will happen, and he will be safe.
Gretchen keeps asking questions she probably doesn’t want to know the answer to. She eventually arrives that the conclusion that somebody’s trying to kill her, although it’s not a conclusion she’s ready to believe.
As he’s being escorted out of the prison, Jeremy’s confronted by someone who doesn’t want him to get away with murder. Jeremy kills him in front of a mob of people. Well, that’s gonna be a little harder to cover up. HRG says that he can save him. Perhaps that will buy him some forgiveness. Not interested.
Jeremy’s been dragged outside by one of the cops, who chains him to a car and has someone start driving it.
During his drinking binge, Parkman has found a way to get rid of Sylar. Keep chugging until he’s ready to pass out. In the process, he discovers that Sylar is afraid of dying.
Claire and Gretchen have won. They find a teddy bear hanging on a meat hook. As Claire realizes she needs Gretchen, the next attempt on her life comes a bit closer with Gretchen’s strangling. That didn’t work either. In the process of this battle, Claire stabs the invisible Rebecca to reveal their attacker. That probably wasn’t part of the plan. Now would somebody mind getting Claire down from the wall she’s been stabbed to? With that, two additional people now know Claire’s secret.
Tracy and Noah find Jeremy’s body abandoned in the street.
Parkman wakes up from his drunkenness. When he blacked out, Sylar stepped in. Now Sylar’s in the driver’s seat. Good luck with that.
Samuel has arrived at the scene of Jeremy’s murder. With the flick of his hands, the people responsible for it (and the building they’re in) are no more.
