Parkman stopped fighting himself/Sylar in Heroes Season 4 Episode 3, taking his frustrations out on an innocent little drug dealer. Samuel, who tricked Peter into believing he was one of the victims he’d saved, went to his childhood home and then destroyed it when they decided to be rich snobs.

Dial a Hero gets a call from a jumper. Hiro came to rescue him by sneaking up on him and scaring him half to death. The guy was fired for inappropriate behavior. He drank too much sake and copied his… They talk for a while before the guy jumps.

Peter comes to visit Noah to show him his compass tattoo. It’s no longer there, though.

Hiro said yes to giving Kimiko away at her and Ando’s wedding. Hiro’s not interested in talking about that when Ando brings it up. Instead, he wants to talk about how he stopped Tadashi from copying his butt, saving his job and life. Only not really. He gets a call from Tadashi up on the roof and scares him half to death again. Hiro prevented what happened at the year end party. Too bad he didn’t stop him from doing it at the Emperor’s birthday celebration. Some people are just destined to get drunk and make fools of themselves.

Nathan’s got a cool new power. Actually, he’s got a lot of them. A new power every day. He’s also seeing memories, but not exactly his memories (the memories are the history of an object he touches).

Claire suggests that her dad get a job like a normal father. If only he were willing to take her seriously.

Nathan is trying to figure out what actually happened to an ex named Kelly. Based on his new power, he believes that there’s more to the story than anybody’s figured out. He eventually remembers a bloody incident in the pool. Seeing as he was there and inadvertently caused it, he wants to know why he can’t remember it. The answer: his mother took care of it, as he suspected.

HRG doesn’t remember actually having helped anybody, but Claire can name one. Her.

Hiro keeps trying to save Tadashi. He continues to fail. He knows the drill. Answer the phone. “Tadashi? You on the roof? Be right there.” This time, he says that nobody copies their butt 47 different ways without wanting to get fired. His advice is to find something he likes, then it won’t feel like work. What makes Hiro such an expert? He’s dying. Tadashi will always have a friend waiting for him in Heaven. That’s enough to convince him to not jump for a change. Hiro, as well, has learned a lesson. He can’t keep secrets from those he loves, so he tells his sister the truth. Then he disappears.

Tracy’s got her old job back with Governor Malden. So why’s she hanging around there talking to Noah? His suggestion to her is that she has to remember who she was to figure out who she wants to be. She can’t quit her job because so many people would kill for it. However, she’d like for it to be more, the ability to set agendas and make a difference in people’s lives.

While holding for someone in the homicide division, Nathan gets drugged from behind.

Samuel’s hungry with power and looking for more people to bring into the group. Lydia shows him what he needs to see. Noah might have changed his mind and may be interested in them.

Nathan’s dumped off and shot. Well, that’s one way to solve this problem I guess. Milly might have wanted to considered his invincibility (or that of Sylar’s) before going down this path.

In her effort to discover the truth about an apparent suicide, Claire jumped out her window in Heroes Season 4 Episode 2. Then she proceeded to push her insides back to the inside, which was not lost on her new friend Gretchen, who saw the whole thing.

Samuel thinks he’s found someone to fill Joseph’s shoes.

Peter Petrelli’s been served. He might need to be more careful when he’s saving people.

Parkman just got his 30 day sobriety chip, but he slipped and used. Sylar’s tired of being stuck in this hell. It’s a lot more boring than the actual hell. However, Parkman’s convinced that Sylar has no power, or so he says. He and his partner are on a stakeout and bust into the suspects house, where the powerless Sylar proceeds with his mind games. Strangely enough, though, Sylar warns him that the drug dealer’s in the closet and has a gun, which is enough to convince Parkman to get on the floor, escaping his fate of being riddled with bullets.

Claire greets her dad with a “What are you doing here?” The answer to that is her roommate Annie’s death. She plays it all off as just an adjustment to college. Everything’s going just fine. When she’s getting ready to go out to eat with him, she heads to the bathroom, where she meets up with Gretchen. Whatever she thought she saw, she didn’t see. There was no hurling out a window or snapping of bones back into place. Gretchen follows her back into her room, where Noah kindly invites her to eat.

Parkman’s searching for the drugs, which is proving to be futile. Sylar continues to try to get him to use his abilities, which he refuses to do. As long as Sylar’s stuck inside Matt, he may as well be useful. He always thought he would make an excellent cop. Perhaps there’s something that doesn’t fit in the picture, like the stuffed rabbit on the floor. The house is used for something a lot worse than they thought.

Peter goes to meet the guy he saved. The one who sued him. Welcome to America. Only he’s greeted by Samuel, someone he knows he never met before. With that, he’s just going to let the lawyers handle it.

While there, he meets a woman who accidentally drops a coffee mug and sees an Aurora Borealis ink blot coming from it when it breaks. The nurse suggests that maybe, because she’s deaf, she’s seeing sounds.

At lunch, Gretchen says she’s going to change her major to study the human body, such as how some girl she saw was unable to feel pain. HRG may have to come out of retirement.

Back to Parkman and the bunny and being insulted by Sylar. In his searching, he finds a ransom note.

HRG’s plan is to erase Gretchen’s memory. Claire’s plan is, well, she doesn’t have one, but she intends to think of one.

Not getting anywhere with the suspect, Parkman gives into temptation and uses his power to locate the girl underneath the stairs. The dead girl underneath the stairs. Only problem is there is no girl there, dead or otherwise. There’s no ransom note either. Not even a rabbit. Sylar used his own power against him.

A theory’s floating around that Peter has caused the accidents so that he can get the glory from them.

When he gets home, Peter goes straight to the newspaper clipping, one that’s been modified by Samuel to make it appear as if he was on the bus.

Back at the dorms, Claire tells Gretchen to go ahead and ask her anything.

With the modified newspaper photo in mind, Peter returns to Samuel, who agrees to drop the lawsuit after they chat. When they’re done, Samuel returns home, to the place where his parents were the butler and maid. His pleas of how his brother just died and he’d like to look around fall on deaf ears. They’re in the middle of a dinner party and don’t want to be disturbed.

Claire and Gretchen continue their bonding, which includes Claire handing over a pair of scissors and letting Gretchen slice her with it. Then Claire suggests being roommates. Gretchen considers this a step up from the boring girl who smells like pickles.

Parkman’s partner lets him know that attacking the criminal who didn’t do anything (more than what he’s suspected of doing anyway) will ruin his life. So Parkman uses mind control to convince his partner that it was all just self defense. Sylar is proud of him. Today is the first day of the rest of his life.

Peter shows up at a sink hole. Dinner party’s over. Then he looks at his arm and sees he’s got one of those creepy compasses on it.

Heroes Season 4 Episode 1 started us off with the introduction of new character Samuel and his quest to change the past, Hiro’s accidental traveling back in time to change his own past, and Sylar’s return as he tries to overpower Nathan and get his body back.

Sylar’s now got baby Matt Parkman, and he won’t put him down until he gets his body. It’s all in his mind, his very disturbed mind.

HRG makes a call to his wife. A man answers the phone. It’s not a wrong number. After hanging up, he gets a call from Tracy, who wants to show him Danko’s body.

Hiro wants to go back to the future. He runs into himself, and he thinks he looks familiar. He’s returned to the moment he got that fortune that brought him down this path. His efforts to return to the future are not working, so instead he runs into Samuel.

Claire’s got some questions to answer. Her roommate had too much self esteem and was an overachiever. That’s not the impression the suicide note left, although Claire distinctly remembers her pillow case was crisp and lacked a note. How can a dead girl write a suicide note?

Ando tells Hiro’s sister the truth. Hiro slipped out of time and space and is 14 years ago at a carnival. The truth is lost on her.

If Hiro interferes in what’s going on over there at his fortune telling, he won’t save the cheerleader, and New York will explode. His belief is that everything is connected, so he doesn’t want to change anything while he’s there. Not even one little thing? Like preventing Ando from spilling a drink all over his sister Kimiko’s favorite dress. Nope. If Hiro won’t change things, Samuel pushing him in the way of the drink might. When he returns to the future, it worked. Now Ando and Kimiko are dating, or just really friendly.

HRG notices that all of Danko’s wounds are to the stomach. The killer was looking for something, but he left it behind. It’s a key. To what?

Noah stops by to see Peter, who intends through his paramedic job to make up for all they’ve done. It turns out the key opens a safe deposit box. He’s looking for a partner to defend him from the guy who’s super fast and has a thing for knives.

Gretchen can’t make sense of Annie’s suicide either. Who maps out their life for the next 50 years then throws it out the window? So how do they prove it’s murder?

HRG bets Peter knows the name of everybody he’s saved. Do any of them know his? Speaking from experience, Noah says it’s not good to live life alone. They’ve found out what Danko got killed for: a compass. A broken compass at that. As expected, they’re attacked, which allows Peter to copy the attacker’s power. When the fight’s over, Peter’s concern is to save the banker’s life.

When Peter grabs the compass, it starts spinning, but Peter wants to stay away from this. He just came along for the new ability.

Gretchen suggests the jump, push, fall test. By getting a dummy the approximate size and weight of Annie, they should be able to determine whether she fell, jumped, or was pushed.

Hiro has a new mission in life: to go back and undo his wrongs.

Matt’s interrogating a suspect. Sylar has a suggestion: just read his mind. Because the suspect thinks he’s crazy, which he may very well be, he folds after having a chair thrown in his general direction and gives up a name. Didn’t need to read minds after all.

While on duty, Peter gets a call. Arriving on the scene, he finds out that Noah’s been slashed, and the compass is gone.

Tracy has a suggestion. Maybe their plan should not be to stop the guy with the knives but to figure out a way to help him.

Matt returns home where he finds the water guy Roy. He had no problem fixing the hot water. Must be tough out there for a single mom. She’s not exactly single as far as Parkman knows, but tomorrow, Roy will be asking for a new route and never stop by there again.

Claire opens her window. She’s about Annie’s size and weight. Based on where she landed, she’ll have to go with fall. Guess Annie did kill herself. Oh, and Gretchen’s standing there watching Claire push her ribs back into her body.

Now that Samuel’s got Hiro on the path he wants him to be on, it’s time to get the rest of them.

Stay tuned to dingoRUE for another live recap of Heroes Season 4 Episode 3 Ink, which airs Monday at 8/7c on NBC.

Heroes Season 3 Episode 25 concluded Volume 4 with Nathan’s death and Sylar subsequently assuming the role of Nathan. Tonight, Volume 5 Redemption begins.

One of the good things to come out of the cancellation of Prison Break is that we get to see Robert Knepper (T-Bag) join the Heroes cast as Samuel. He’s the leader of a carnival clan, one gifted with extraordinary abilities. Mourning the loss of his brother Joseph, he tells his followers that there are others out there just like them.

Claire’s moving into a dorm and meets her new roommate Annie, who’s an AP student expecting somebody similar. But Claire got her GED because she was traveling and saving the world and such. Annie wants Claire to map out her future and put childish things behind. This should be oodles of fun.

Hiro and Ando believe that somebody will call Dial a Hero. Well, at least Hiro does anyway. Just look at the bar graph. Ando’s remembering a day years ago where he spilled something on Hiro’s sister. His theory is that she hates him because of that day at the carnival.

Peter’s a paramedic. He’s sitting in gridlock going nowhere, but he’s sure he can find a shortcut, by way of leaping tall buildings in a single bound.

Claire goes to class where she’s given 45 minutes to solve an equation. She’s gonna need a little longer than that. Maybe 45 months. Realizing this, she promptly bails, after having a vision that she’s been tasered by snipers.

The woman Peter saved ended up having twins. He can’t celebrate. 30 seconds more, and all three of them would have been dead. Him getting there faster than humanly possible is not good enough.

Ando and Hiro have their first client. A little girl wants to get her cat down. Are there no fireman around? As a reward for rescuing him, the cat attacks Ando and makes him fall. Lucky thing Hiro can freeze him.

Noah considers his decision to turn Sylar into Nathan an emotional one, hence, wrong. Now he doesn’t want anything to do with him.

When HRG gets into his car, it fills with water, which begins to freeze. He’s been paid a visit by Tracy Strauss. Danko can’t figure out how she survived. He put in a bullet into her himself and shattered her into a thousand pieces. Danko’s plan: kill Tracy before she kills them.

Claire meets up with Gretchen, somebody who may well be more normal than the rest of the people in the college. As they’re talking about how they’re from Texas, Gretchen recognizes the name. There was a Claire Bennet who got decapitated.

After he saves Ando from the fall, Hiro freezes.

As much as she may wish to pretend otherwise, Angela’s nightmares tell the truth. Sylar is Nathan now, and that doesn’t sit very well with her. To complicate things, Nathan’s confused. When he looks back on his life, it’s like it’s not his life he’s looking back on. Furthermore, he doesn’t feel mortal. Rather, he feels invincible. Mama suggests going out to get a big expensive sports car and a younger woman with questionable morals to get over this midlife crisis.

Angela calls Parkman with worry that Sylar’s beginning to emerge again. Her request is to apply a patch or upgrade him, but he believes he’s out and done with this whole thing.

While messing around in his office, Nathan realizes he’s got a creepy shocking power.

Noah pays Claire a visit at school. Annie’s been catching him up, telling him about how Claire needs to apply herself.

This morning when he was talking about redemption, Samuel left out the part about vengeance.

Tracy joins Noah and tells him that the reason why she’s still alive is simple. Her one cohesive thought was to kill all of them. He’s willing to help her out because he, too, is seeking redemption. It’s not quite that easy to seal a deal, though. Noah plans on getting what he wants. Danko will forget about Tracy.

Upon his return home, Danko runs into Tracy, a woman he no longer recognizes. Then he’s attacked by Edgar, Samuel’s assassin. Edgar then makes the mistake of attacking Tracy, who’s not nearly as easy a target and uses her powers to gain the upperhand and not end up all chopped up.

Ando’s wheeled the still frozen Hiro back to the office, where he manages to wake him up. Instead of freezing time, time froze him. Now his nose is bleeding. He doesn’t want to see a doctor. He’s already done that. The news is not good. He’s dying. Maybe soon. This all started the night of the carnival. He got his fortune that he would be a powerful hero. Ever since then, he’s been focused on doing just that. What if he never got that fortune? Hiro puts his foot down about going back, but that doesn’t prevent him from accidentally going back to that night at the carnival 14 years ago.

Thanks to Lydia, Samuel thinks he’s found somebody who can help them fix the past. He just needs to go back 14 years first.

When she returns to her room, Claire sees the windows open. Outside lies the corpse of her roommate.

Like Angela, Parkman is having nightmares about Sylar, who wants his body back.

Stay tuned to dingoRUE for another live recap of Heroes Season 4 Episode 2 Jump, Push, Fall, which airs next on NBC.

First look at Heroes season 4 volume 5, complete with T-Bag from Prison Break.

Robert Knepper, who played T-Bag on the now defunct Prison Break, will make his debut on Heroes season 4 according to THR. As villains go, he should make a good one.

This has been expected for a while now, but NBC today officially confirmed that Heroes will return for season 4. It is currently expected that the season will be slightly abridged from normal and from the current lengthy 25 episode season 3, but no confirmation has been made available at this time.

In Heroes Season 3 Episode 24, we went back to how it came about that Sylar decided to pose as Nathan Petrelli.

Angela had a dream. Nathan’s in trouble. He’s not the only one. HRG has Claire and Angela get out of the car and go to Nathan, while he rides ahead to the truck full of people waiting for him.

Danko jabs something in the back of Sylar’s head, but it doesn’t do anything to him. He’s moved his little off switch that used to be in the back of his head. He plans to meet with the President the next day, so he can shake his hand and shapeshift into him. Danko threatens to expose him if he doesn’t kill him, but he doesn’t need to kill him. He just has to shapeshift into him and fire on his own men. Now nobody will believe a word he says.

Angela’s going to find Matt Parkman because in her dream Parkman saves Nathan’s life.

Claire has arrived to see Nathan. She asks how she knows he’s not Sylar, which he is. He seems to have her convinced that he’s not an imposter, and they go off together to the Stanton Hotel to intercept Sylar.

Hiro wants to stop time again, but Ando’s worried his head may explode.

Danko’s tossed in a room where he meets up with HRG.

Peter comes to get the real Nathan.

HRG tells Danko that, if he didn’t have Claire, he’d be in exactly Danko’s position. Danko responds that he is in the same position, so they plan to work together.

Then they’re frozen by Hiro, as is everyone else. Ando notices that Hiro’s ear is bleeding, but he says he’s fine. They locate Suresh and rescue him, moving the guards into his place instead. When time unfreezes, Hiro’s having medical problems. Suresh tells Hiro that his human body is rejecting his powers like a virus. He instructs him to not freeze time again.

The prisoners are all gone, and the entire unit has been captured. Hiro arrives to jab a vial into Danko. Then they both collapse.

Claire gets a call from HRG. Only it’s not Claire. It’s Sylar.

Claire plans to kill Sylar, who plans to kill HRG. Everybody dies some time. He wants to make her his first First Lady, but first he has to get her past her urge to kill him.

Nathan arrives at the hotel, and he’s told he’s already inside. The man in there is dangerous. He’s one of them, or rather, he’s one of us. The government needs to stay out of it, but Nathan and Peter can handle it. They just have to get close enough for Peter to touch him.

They break inside and begin to battle. Claire closes the door to let the battle happen, and whens he opens it, Nathan and Sylar have gone out the window.

They’ve moved to another room where Sylar slashes Nathan’s neck and leaves him for dead before taking his shape.

Parkman arrives, and Angela is there waiting for him so he can save Nathan. By the time they arrive, Nathan is dead.

Sylar is informed by Secret Service agent Liam Samuels that the President won’t be able to meet with him today. Perhaps he’ll be able to meet with Samuels, though. With one more body change, Sylar meets with the President. Only it’s not the President, though. It’s Peter, who stabs him in the neck.

HRG and Angela have a plan. They need Sylar to be Nathan Petrelli again. Parkman grabs hold of Sylar and turns him into Nathan. Then they burn the body, but nobody else knows what’s actually happened.

The President has agreed to Nathan’s proposal. He told him he’s found just the man to head up their new “the company.”

Volume 4 ends there, and volume 5 Redemption starts six weeks later.

A building agent arrives to find a flood. He’s greeted by a person who takes form from the water. It’s Tracy, and she’s found her fourth mysterious drowning victim.

Angela goes to pay Nathan a visit, and it seems he’s got some of Sylar’s powers. He can tell a clock is running a minute and a half fast.

That concludes season 3. Heroes has not yet been officially confirmed for season 4, but the buzz is positive that we will be seeing it again in September.
