Heroes Season 2 Episode 3 recap
Scenes include Claire and West kissing on the beach, Peter discussing how to get the box back, and Bob and Dr. Suresh going to Isaac’s apartment.
In episode 1, Jaime got into an accident and was turned into a bionic woman (didn’t see that one coming), and she then met up with her apparently evil counterpart Sarah Corvis.
Episode 2 starts in a cemetery, and at the funeral for her boyfriend Will, Jonas comes up to talk to Jaime. She doesn’t have any interest in talking to him and wants to pretend she’s just a normal person again. She then says she’s looking for Mr. right now and doesn’t have any trouble finding him, though she also doesn’t have any problem breaking his rib. Then Jonas shows up again. He tells her she could do something with her life and make a difference. He tells her his organization is saving the world and asks if she’s in or out. She says she’s out.
Becca gets caught smoking pot at school. The principal says it could lead to expulsion but also suggests taking away extracurricular activities, like the talent show. Jaime stands up for her and asks that they don’t take the talent show away, but it doesn’t take long before two of them are arguing.
Jaime meets up with her friends, who are discussing their future, which leads her to question hers, so she takes off. As she’s walking around, her powers kick in, allowing her to find and save a woman about to jump. After this, she decides she’s okay with saving the world, on her own terms. When she gets to Jonas, she realizes the guy who supposedly was a stranger giving her helpful advice in a store was actually someone sent there by Jonas intentionally. He tells her he wanted to find out of she was with another agency.
Then it’s time to train, with a repeat of the battle she had with Sarah (this time with Jay). He tells her about what her capabilities actually are. He says whether he’s in love with Sarah or not doesn’t matter because his first priority is the agency. Once the training session’s done, she offers to help investigate a small town under quarantine, where everyone’s dead. She’s not able to deal with this scene very well and has to go outside for some fresh air.
The deaths were caused by a toxin the agency developed. Upon further investigation, they go into a house and find someone still alive. They ask the girl if she remembers anything out of the ordinary, and she says there was a weird truck driving around. She’s surprised to find out the entire rest of the town is dead. A group of men with guns come up to her and Jaime pretending to be there to help. They start running, and the men shoot at them. While they’re hiding, Becca calls to say she’s moving back with her father. It’s then time for Jaime to take one of them out. Ruth Treadwell (Molly Price, Third Watch/Detective Faith Yokas), who brought Jaime there, comes in and says they have to get out of there. As they’re heading out, reinforcements arrive.
Jay goes to find Sarah, who says she thinks someone hacked her when she killed previously.
Following some interrogation, they track down the source of the problems, where they find out larger cities were the next targets. Armed with the knowledge of how many people they just saved, Jaime says she’s in. And she still has time to go see Becca in the talent show and tells her she’s never going to live with their father.

In episode 2, the producers had the kids kill some chickens (through the “advice” in the “old” book), the yellow district continued to do nothing, and Michael won the gold star over a likely to be angry Greg, who found out pretending to be a hard worker for a couple days just to win $20,000 won’t necessarily work.
The show starts off with a party to celebrate making it through the first week. Lots of kids hopped up on sugar probably isn’t the best thing.
Those who weren’t smart enough to know not to stay up all night get a rude awakening early in the morning that they’re not ready for. The council rings the bell and screams, while Greg has fun banging pots and pulling people out into the street in their sleeping bags. Sophia confronts him about this, and he runs off and locks himself in the room. Mallory, 8, isn’t happy with the cursing.
The pioneers suggest some law and order, starting with a curfew, a pretty coincidental suggestion considering the late night partying the night before. The decision is that they must be in their bunks by 9:30. No questions asked and no discussion allowed.
The yellow district gets into a food fight, further adding to people’s wishes they be booted from the kitchen. They keep saying the problem’s their age, but Mallory is willing to step up and clean up after them.
It’s time for the next showdown to determine what the classes will be. The challenge is to work together to round up sheep. Council members will yell the names to their teams below. They get 5 minutes to catch 5 sheep. The whole thing is complete chaos with nobody being able to hear a thing. Blue gets off to an early lead as usual. Yellow catches up to them. Red and green are way behind. Yellow ends up winning, so they are the upper class, thanks to Colton’s animal background and fearlessness. This means the yellow district can do whatever they want, including nothing at all. So basically what they’ve been doing all along. Blue takes second to be the merchants. Green finally doesn’t lose the challenge, allowing them to get into the kitchen, where Sophia will take charge as she has been all along. With seconds to spare, red finishes last and are the laborers, but it’s fast enough to win the reward.
The choice is between 1) a microwave and a barrel of cocoa or 2) 40 pizzas with every topping. Mike wants pizza and is extremely vocal in his opposition, offering no support to his fellow town council members when the decision is announced. The other three go for the microwave and cocoa instead. Few of the kids are happy with this choice, whether it’s a logical choice or not. Some of them, however, realize that the pizza would be gone very quickly, whereas the cocoa and microwave would be useful for the rest of their time there.
Taylor may have dug her own grave by being so vocal. There were only a couple people who were upset with the council to begin with, but after no pizza and a curfew, there’s serious potential for her being overthrown.
Sophia tries to get a bag from Mallory for 5 cents, and Mallory offers a deal but isn’t a pushover. For her age, she’s proving pretty impressive at running the store.
Then a storm blows through town. There’s lots of wind and tipped over outhouses, but it looks to pass pretty quickly. Zach takes charge and gets the situation under control. The storm is enough to upset Cody, 9, and Mallory and make them homesick.
This time, the council is smart enough to get feedback from the others on who they think deserves the gold star. The main suggestions are Greg and Morgan, who has tried to step up and be the mom of the group to some of the younger kids. Olivia, Mallory’s sister, suggests Mallory, which does lead them to start looking at the kids who maybe aren’t old enough to pitch in as much as the older kids but are doing a great job in their own right.
As expected, nobody’s happy with Taylor’s pageant queen attitude. A lot of them are probably still bitter over the pizza party as well. She says she will work harder in the future, which buys her one more chance.
Nobody ends up going home this week. The gold star winner is Mallory, a happy 9th birthday present, which Greg says is the only reason she got it. I’m not sure he realizes if he finds a positive attitude and keeps working hard, he’ll get the star eventually, even if it takes a while.

NBC has picked up Robinson Crusoe, a drama based on Daniel Defoe’s novel, for 13 episodes, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The series is expected to begin in fall 2008 or midseason 2009.
“It’s part ‘MacGyver,’ part contemporary morality tale about race and personal discovery, part comedy, and part ‘Castaway’ meets ‘Survivor’,” said Ben Silverman off NBC. The show was chosen by NBC’s development team when asked to choose a list of the most engaging stories ever told.

Prison Break Season 3 episode 4 recap
Last week, the red team finally squeaked out a victory, with the blue team losing and deciding to vote out team captain Jerry. I’ve decided to go ahead and start doing live blogs of this show.
The show starts off with another temptation, this time cupcakes for the trainers. One of them will give a team a 15 second advantage at the next challenge. It’s revealed the trainers will also be participating in the challenge. The trainers all reject the temptation. I’m not as impressed with this lesson as they want me to be. I get the concept of not eating cupcakes at every sitting, but the message that it’s not okay to eat them once in a while is irresponsible. That’s how people get cravings and fall off the wagon. Or get on the wagon. Whichever one’s the bad one. Granted, the people they’re working with have been excessively irresponsible for so long, so I could see where it’s argued it’s a good lesson.
After this, we get a Subway commercial. Of all the fast food choices, Subway’s definitely a good one, though.
Alison tells the teams the winner of the challenge will have such a big advantage at the next weigh-in she can’t even reveal it yet. The challenge is to race down the hill, capture a flag, and run back up the hill. Teams must bid how fast they think they can do it, and the lowest bidder must do it in the time they say. Some potential strategy can come into play here.
Red team bids 7 minutes. Black responds with 6 minutes. Blue team bids 5:55. Red team bids 5:54. Black team bids 5:30. Blue challenges black team to get the flag. Red team bids 5:29. Jillian convinces her team to bid 5:28, despite reluctance from the girls on her team. Red bids 5:27. Black team bids 5:25, the lowest bid.
Jez is strong the whole way. The girls are struggling all the while. Hollie falls, but Jillian helps her back up. They get to the flag in 2:25, giving them 3 minutes to get back up the hill. Jez makes it up the hill in time, but the rest of the team overbid by a few seconds.
So now it’s time for a bidding war between red team and blue team. Red bids 6:25. Blue bids 6:00. Red bids 5:55. Blue team tells them to go ahead.
Phil’s dominant as usual. Bryan’s right behind him. David looks like a lost cause early on. Amy wanted to quit but didn’t. They get down the hill with a little less than 4 minutes left on the clock. Phil gets back to the top with 32 seconds left, and the rest of the team shows up with 18 seconds left. Red team wins the challenge again. Blue team should have attempted to force the bid down a bit more.
After the loss, Bob gets his team away from the campus to 24 Hour Fitness for a spin class. He convinces Patty she’s worth the effort of losing the weight. The trainers then break out the goal shirts, in an effort to uplift their spirits and help them strive toward those goals, ranging from being a better husband to being a firefighter.
The last chance workout shows positive attitudes by some, though Amy whines about it as usual, as does Isabeau, who calls Jillian crazy. Isabeau seems as if she may have learned a lesson, however.
Alison reveals the advantage red team won at the weigh-in. They win immunity, so it doesn’t matter whether they lose the weigh-in or not.
Red Team:
Phil: 358 pounds (-5)
Amy: 278 pounds (-1)
David: 337 pounds (-1)
Bryan: 319 pounds (-2)
Total: -9 pounds (0.69%)
Black Team:
Hollie: 236 pounds (-3)
Jez: 308 pounds (-8)
Jim: 314 pounds (-11)
Isabeau: 272 pounds (-8)
Bill: 285 pounds (-13)
Julie: 203 pounds (-7)
Total: -50 pounds (3.00%)
Blue Team:
Neil: 375 pounds (-11)
Kae: 191 pounds (-6)
Nicole: 258 pounds (-4)
Patty: 255 pounds (-5)
Ryan: 341 pounds (-6)
Total: -32 pounds (2.20%)
Red team gets absolutely obliterated with a horrible week but skates by because they won the challenge. Not impressed by this immunity. Blue team goes to the elimination. Kae is the biggest loser on her team and is safe. Despite being the lightest person there, she’s sure proving to have a lot of determination. They tell Bob they’re willing to let it go to a tie and let the rest of the house decide. He says he forbids it, as it’s taking the easy way out.
Votes
Kae: Neil
Patty: Nicole
Neil: Patty
Nicole: Patty
Ryan: Patty
With three votes, Patty is eliminated. Patty’s down from 280 pounds at the start to 219 today.
Afterwards, Alison warns it’s a new game with new rules and like nothing they’ve ever seen before. The campus is shutting down for a week. She’ll reveal exactly what this means next week.
