Heroes Season 3 Episode 5

Previously on Heroes Season 3 Episode 4, Sylar blew up the future after being creepily nice, Parkman saw his rewritten future come true, Nathan saved Tracy from herself, and Hiro dug up Adam.

Nathan needs to know: is he an angel or a monster, a hero or a villain? He’s having difficulty believing Linderman’s actually there to help him.

Peter doesn’t want to be Sylar’s brother. Sylar stops him just short of ripping his mother’s skull open to get any more secrets she has been keeping.

After looking through a list of potential bad guys, Meredith promises Sandra that she’ll return Claire. They’re on the right trail. She is after Stephen Canfield, a guy who creates vortexes and makes people disappear forever.

Adam’s not happy to see Hiro, seeing as he buried him alive and all. Hiro’s willing to take risks to save the world. Adam says the villain is probably Angela Petrelli, an answer Hiro doesn’t like.

Linderman approaches Daphne and asks her to recruit for his organization for a new world order. She’s okay with whatever gets her paid.

Claire tells Stephen she’s bringing him back where he belongs. He just wants to find his family, as the company took them away from him, so now they probably think he abandoned them. He says he never meant to hurt anybody and that they have it all wrong. They just locked him up without a trial, and he just wants to see his wife, even if it’s for the last time.

Tracy’s struggling with how she killed someone, and she wants to turn herself in. Nathan wants her to know that would be a mistake because their powers are from God. Her powers are from a doctor in Reseda, though.

Claire feels sympathetic for Stephen and helps him get in touch with his wife. As their phone call is dropped, her father barges in along with Sylar. So then he opens up a vortex. With luck, the vortex doesn’t suck anybody into any hell dimension or anything. Stephen has escaped, though, and Claire is still looking to protect him. She trusts her father and tells him where he can find him.

Adam takes Hiro to a bar where he says the speedster was hired. He wants Ando and Hiro to look tough while they’re there. Adam very quickly gets into a bar brawl, ducks a punch, and Hiro gets knocked out. Easy escape for Adam.

Angela tells Nathan and Tracy that Zimmerman was instrumental in the development of synthetic abilities, which they gave to people like Tracy… and Nathan.

Maya finds Suresh’s missing neighbor. He’s not so much missing as hanging on a wall. She thinks Suresh has become a monster.

Hiro’s searched everywhere (except the dumpster) and believes Adam is gone. Knox has a little more luck finding Adam, though, and he tosses him into the back of a van.

Angela explains that what they did was wrong and that they divided the formula and hid it so it would never happen again. The formula will be used to create a world full of people with abilities that will end up destroying the world.

Nathan thinks they should go see Suresh since he’s a harmless (mad) scientist.

Stephen’s family never showed up. He thinks maybe they are afraid of him. HRG comes with an offer: make Sylar disappear, and this is all over. Unwilling to be a monster, Stephen decides to just suck himself into a vortex instead.

Hiro’s nemesis Daphne comes recruiting. He tells her they’ve changed, and that they’re bad asses now. Knox wants him to prove himself by killing Ando. So Hiro jabs Ando with a sword.

Sylar says HRG’s just a user, and Claire knows it. He may be a deranged sociopath, but he’s not entirely wrong.

Meredith never found Claire, but she did find Eric and is busy having dinner with him thanks to his mind control.

Angela hears a scream. She walks out to find Nathan and Tracy on the ground. Peter apparently didn’t do it because he, too, collapses. A man walks in and tells her she can’t stop him because she won’t even be able to move.

Daphne’s not happy about Ando being killed. Linderman wants her to recruit Parkman. She’s figured something out. She can sneak up on everybody, but she can’t sneak up on Linderman… because he’s not really there.

It appears all the strings are being pulled by Arthur Petrelli, the father.

Heroes Season 3 Episode 4

Following an odd day with her biological mom in Heroes Season 3 Episode 3, Claire finally admitted the reason she wants to fight bad guys is revenge. Sylar turned out to be still a killer. Tracy paid a visit to Dr. Zimmerman, the man who says he created her. Parkman is on his spirit walk hoping to not become a killer. And Peter went with himself to find out more about the future.

Suresh’s rash, which looks like skin peeling off his body, looks pretty bad, but he doesn’t seem to feel it’s too big a deal.

Dr. Zimmerman tells Tracy she’s one of three identical triplets whose DNA was manipulated. She wants to know whose fault this all is, but he says the company made him forget.

Peter takes himself four years into the future. Anybody with enough money can buy powers that they get by injection. In his time, Peter’s viewed as an extremist, a villain. He warns past Peter to stop Suresh’s ability formula from happening.

Evil (except maybe not) Claire’s back with her gun, and this time it works. She manages to shoot future Peter, but the other Peter gets away.

Ando and Hiro are locked up. They begin discussing how Hiro’s mad at Ando for future Ando killing future Hiro.

Linderman, who’s invisible to everybody but Nathan, tells Nathan his plan is to make him the President. Nathan doesn’t trust him considering that whole wanting to blow up the world bit.

Maya tries to convince Suresh to take a break, but Suresh isn’t listening. He wants to keep working until he drives himself mad. He fears that there’s a link between the spreading rash and his increasing aggression and hostility.

Peter pays a visit to future Suresh to ask why he told himself to go see Sylar of all people. Suresh is cowering in the shadows because he got the formula wrong, but he does warn him to avoid Sylar. A little mind reading lets Peter know where he has to go, though.

Sylar greets Peter with a cheerful hug. Yeah, a little creepy.

Peter finds out they’re brothers. He wants his ability, but Sylar won’t give it to him. He says it’s a struggle to no longer be a killer, but he fights it for his son.

Daphne tries to convince Parkman to get Molly to locate Peter. This explains where the painting of him and the baby came from.

Thanks to Molly, Claire and her cohorts show up and take Sylar’s son hostage. It’s either him or Peter. A fight ensues, and Sylar’s son gets caught in the crossfire. No longer able to control himself, Sylar becomes an atomic boom. Goodbye world. Or at least Costa Verde.

Ando uses Hiro’s belt to open an escape hatch, and Ando tells Hiro to enjoy his escape because he’s made it clear he doesn’t need him. Hiro wants to change the future and himself.

Tracy wants to confess about the guy she killed, but since she freezes the phone, she doesn’t get very far with that plan. Then she returns to Nathan and resigns. Linderman says that his path is to help her. Presumably before she plunges to her death jumping off a bridge. It’s a good thing Nathan can fly.

Suresh realizes that he can’t remove the ability because it’s part of him now. The same goes for Maya.

Back to the future, Nathan’s giving a speech alongside his First Lady Tracy about the destruction of Costa Verde.

Peter’s trying to escape, but the Haitian won’t let him teleport. Claire wants to torture him, at least in part because 200,000 people have died. Nathan interrupts, both as her father and the President. He frees Peter, who in turn ends up killing him (again), this time with Sylar’s ability. When he returns to the past, Sylar tells him he’s already like him.

Parkman sees his future, as Daphne collapses in his arms after the blast. He wants to find her, but he’ll have to follow his guide first. Following this turtle may prove to be slow moving.

Angela tells Hiro that, since they’ve lost both parts of the formula, they’ve lost, and his father’s trust in him was misplaced. Yet, he’s the only one who can save them. He digs up his old buddy Takezo/Adam.

Heroes Season 3 Episode 3

Last week was a special two hour premiere event. First in Heroes Season 3 Episode 1, Peter shot his brother to prevent him from spilling his secret, the governor discovered his new Senator (Nathan), and Parkman was sent to the middle of the desert by Peter. Then in Heroes Season 3 Episode 2, Suresh made himself a superman (briefly), Bob was killed by Sylar, and Angela immediately took over for Bob, after which she told Sylar she’s his mom.

Expanding on her apparent wackiness, Angela tells Sylar that she gave him up for adoption. Then she leaves him with a victim with a new power.

Peter’s gang of new pals are looking for a party. They walk into a bank and start flinging fireballs to scare people.

Noah shows up, but he’s just there to put the escapees back where they were and doesn’t want anything to do with Angela. She’s got a perfect new partner for him: Sylar.

Claire’s biological mom Meredith is around, but her adopted mom isn’t very happy about it.

HRG doesn’t want to work with a psychopath, but Angela tells him she’s going to put Sylar in play whether it’s under his supervision or not.

Hiro hopes to get his father’s formula back, but Daphne already sold it and is on to the next half.

Although Sandra isn’t thrilled about her being there, Claire doesn’t have any problems with her mom, so she decides to play hookey with her.

Tracy wants to know more about Niki, the woman people keep confusing her with. She decides to go to New Orleans to track her down.

In theory, a bank job is about money, but not this one (well, it was for one guy, but he’s dead now). They just want to raise hell until the man from the company gets there.

The man with Parkman painted his future when he was a boy. Pretty good job, too.

Angela says she hopes to make Sylar not a crazy killer.

Daphne doesn’t know anything about this whole world coming to an end stuff. She just wants to make a buck.

One of the paintings of Parkman’s life hasn’t come true, even though the rest have. The one with him and a woman and child has… changed. Time to cover it up and paint over it.

HRG takes the bait of the news story and goes to the scene of the robbery. His plan for Sylar: stay close and keep his mouth shut. Not listening to all of this, Sylar plays the role of an FBI agent pretty convincingly and lets the cops on the scene know who’s in charge. Regardless, he tells Sylar that he’s not going anywhere near the buffet of all those powers.

Ando and Hiro believe the Haitian’s got the other half of the formula, and they’re both right and on his trail.

Tracy goes to Louisiana and finds a casket with a familiar face, then runs into Micah. He’s curious whether she has a power, too. Then he shows off his power. He finds out they were born in the same hospital on the same day with the same doctor.

Ando knocks out the Haitian, and Hiro grabs his briefcase. Just long enough to allow Daphne to steal it. She speeds away. The Haitian wakes up. Hiro’s power stop working. Probably not good.

We find out what Knox’s problem is. He blames HRG for taking away his life unfairly. Peter accidentally discovering Jesse’s destructive power gives him the upperhand, but whatever powers Peter’s got, he’s not up there with time stopping future Peter. He doesn’t really want to listen to himself but does despite his hesitation, leaving HRG in the hands of the real Jesse.

Until Sylar walks in, that is. Poor wannabe villains. Sylar knows that he was just told to stay put so that he would disobey and come in and save the day.

Claire’s mom has a nice family outing planned. She uses her firepower not to burn her but to suck the oxygen out of the room. As she’s running out of air, Claire finally admits that the reason she wants to stop bad guys is to get revenge.

Sylar turns out to be just a killer. He lets Knox go and then steals Jesse’s power.

Parkman’s new future is no longer about birth but about someone dying, presumably as a result of him. He hopes he can prevent that from happening by learning from his spirit walk.

Tracy pays a visit to Dr. Zimmerman, who tells her he created her.

Angela still has hope that she wasn’t wrong about Sylar, but HRG plans to kill him.

Heroes Season 3 Episode 2

Heroes Season 3 Episode 1 picked up where we left off last year, as Peter was shooting his brother to stop him from spilling their secret. Nathan’s searching for God, Hiro’s a rich man, and Parkman was transported to the middle of nowhere.

Claire knows Sylar’s not coming back because he got what he came for. She realizes something’s different after sticking herself with some glass and not noticing. Normally, she feels pain, even though she heals afterward.

Angela has another dream that frightens her, and she tells Peter again to go back where he came from. He’s not any happier to see her than she is to see him. She warns him about the butterfly effect: step on a butterfly today, and three years later a million people are wiped out. Her dream suggested that Claire is in trouble because he talked to her and tried to interfere in the future.

Suresh feels like a new man. He’s completely the same in every way but physically far more capable than he had ever been before. He hopes he will be able to reverse the effects and take powers away. For the time being, though, he’ll just hit on Maya.

Elle’s dad is displeased that Sylar escaped and got to Claire, making her virtually unstoppable.

Hiro’s hired some detectives to track down the speedster. Her name is Daphne Millbrook, and she’s from Paris, France.

Tracy and the governor are debating over whether Nathan’s worth the risk. She’s pushing hard for him to become the junior senator for the state of New York. Then she goes out into the parking lot where she’s shown a picture suggesting she’s a Las Vegas stripper (Niki).

Claire, unsure she’s even human, is back to making her video tapes again. Her theory is that she can prove she’s alive by getting hit by a train, but Peter jumps in to prevent her from the mistake of not really hurting herself at all. She asks him to help her be more than just a victim, as her defensive power is not enough for her. He denies her request and bails quickly so as to prevent any more alterations of the future than necessary.

Tracy comes to pay Nathan a visit. He thinks she’s Niki, too. Once they get past that, she offers him the job.

Bob’s been paid a visit. He’s no longer among the living. Elle breaks out HRG, who proceeds to shoot Sylar. Lucky him he’s invincible now. He attempts to steal Elle’s power as well, but the resulting explosion is enough to knock him out.

Hiro tells Ando what he saw when he went to the future (the part about Ando being a villain and killing him).

Peter’s worried about the changes he has made to the future and that he probably hasn’t saved the world regardless of having come back to shoot his brother.

Nathan gets over his concerns about great power carrying with it great responsibility and accepts the position as senator, as long as Tracy is on his staff. It turns out she’s got a pretty nifty power of freezing people and smashing them to bits, which she uses when another blackmail attempt over her Vegas counterpart surfaces.

Mrs. Petrelli is ready to take control since Bob has been dead for a couple hours or so. The additional bit of news is that Elle is no longer needed now that her father’s gone.

Hiro tries to outsmart Daphne, but she beats him to the punch. In order to save Ando, he lets her escape with the formula (again).

Suresh’s original euphoria begins to fade as his skin begins to peel off. He knows something’s gone terribly wrong.

Parkman wakes up next to a turtle and begins to listen to him (or rather the guy out of view who’s actually talking). It turns out he’s in Africa. He must spirit walk for many miles. The man, who knows who he is, also knows the future, though he offers no details how or why on either issue.

Nathan’s in a spirited debate with an invisible man about how he’s the one in control this time around.

A bunch of previously locked up people with powers were freed in the power surge, including Peter, who’s in the body of a madman named Jesse.

Claire’s biological mom is back and supposedly is going to make sure she stays safe.

Future Peter goes to see himself, only to find out that he’s escaped. That never happened. At least not in his reality anyway. Some of the other escapees have some fun causing death and destruction.

Sylar’s chained down for now. Angela says she’s his mom.

Stay tuned to dingoRUE for another recap of Heroes Season 3 episode 3 One of Us, One of Them, which airs Monday at 9/8c on NBC.

Heroes Season 3 Episode 1

Heroes season 2 volume 2 concluded way back in December at the start of the writers strike, as we last left off in Heroes Season 2 Episode 11. Sylar died (only not really), Maya was seeking the assistance of Dr. Suresh, and when all was said and done, Nathan was getting shot as he tried to reveal his secret during a press conference.

Heroes Volume Three “Villains” picks up 4 years in the future. Peter Petrelli runs into the new Claire, an evil Claire. He wants to go back to the day people found out what they are, which forced them to hide. She tries to shoot him, but with time freezing and all, that doesn’t quite work.

From there, Peter goes back in time and shoots his brother to prevent him from spilling their secret. After a rush to the hospital, Nathan turns out to be dead. Or so it appears to the casual observer anyway.

Hiro owns 51% of the company with $250 million in cash. He’s less impressed about it than Ando, though. He mostly wants to know his destiny and pass by his boredom playing with time. He receives a DVD that his dad recorded and hopes it’ll show him the way.

Sylar pays Claire a visit. He didn’t exactly what you would call die. Doesn’t anybody stay dead any more? He wants to steal her power (again).

Maya’s staying with Suresh and hopes he will help her, but he tells her he’s going to pack up his bags and head back to India and that he can’t help her. When she gets angry with this, he realizes that her abilities are caused by her emotions. With that, he’s not so ready to head back home just yet.

Hiro’s dad tells him he’s leaving him with a secret that has been kept by himself and his father before him. This secret has the potential to destroy the world in the wrong hands. First he has to find out how to break open the safe where the secret has been stored. When he opens the safe, he finds… another DVD. He learns he must guard his half of the formula with his life. As soon as he opens the envelope, though, the piece of paper (which he doesn’t understand even a little) is stolen from him. When he freezes time, he’s able to see who did it. She’s a speedster, and she’s not exactly impacted by his whole time freezing bit. After a brief discussion, she punches him and speeds away.

Parkman catches future Peter trying to recover the gun. That whole mind reading thing won’t work on him since he’s too powerful, but he tells the truth anyway, so it’s not necessary. He’s from the future. Then he waves his hand to get rid of Parkman.

The less than dead Nathan walks out of the hospital to thank God for giving him another chance. He says his reason for being is that he’s there to do his bidding. He no longer has a message to deliver, except to say that God’s message is that we’re all connected. Save ourselves; save the world. So Peter doesn’t have to kill him again.

After a game of cat and mouse, Claire finally stabs Sylar, but that doesn’t do much to him. He starts opening her head because he has some plans to get into her brain. She wonders why he’s not going to kill her, and he responds that she can never die (and now he can’t either).

Mohinder’s discovered a way to give people power. Maya tells him the power is a curse and that he should destroy what he’s discovered.

Governor Malden believes he’s found his guy: Nathan. Tracy Strauss, his less than fully clothed associate, approves.

Parkman wakes up in the middle of the desert with a scorpion crawling on his face. His first instinct is to yell for help, as if there’s anyone within miles.

Hiro’s never going back to the past again, but he has no problem going back to the future to see whether the world has been destroyed or not. The collapsing skyscrapers and villain Ando killing him are a pretty good indication his father was right.

Peter’s mom asks what he’s done with Peter. She had a dream that he’d be back to shoot his brother, so she knows what happened, and she doesn’t approve. She doesn’t like that something different happens now that he’s changed the future.

Mohinder injects himself with his magic serum, and now he’s got power.

Tonight was a special two hour event. If you want to know what happens in the second hour, check out Heroes Season 3 Episode 2.

Stay tuned to dingoRUE for another recap of Heroes Season 3 episode 2 The Butterfly Effect, which airs next on NBC.

Heroes Season 3 Spoilers and Photos

Heroes season 3 volume 3 Villains begins in September on NBC. Some spoilers have leaked suggesting what we can expect.

“Gee, well, I don’t have much to tell, other than the fact that in the first three minutes one of the lead heroes is going to bust a cap off at one of the other lead heroes. And oh yeah, the guy she pulls the trigger on just might be the guy she’s playing tonsil hockey with in real life. She also tells him (on cam), “I always loved you.” Whaaa?! Figured it out? I know you have, so discuss in the comments below! Oh, and even more shocking? We’re gonna see Claire-bear with dark hair and this also involves a shift in time. So very Lostalicious, no?”

Here’s the photo of what happens in the first few minutes of the season opener.

Quite the new look for (dark/future?) Claire. So as not to leave out Milo fans, here’s a shot of Peter Petrelli.

Spoilers from E!. Photos from Bad and Ugly.
