heroes season 4 recaps, spoilers, news
Update: NBC has delayed its Heroes season 3 premiere. The new season will begin one week later, Monday September 22nd, at 9/8c.
For those who can’t wait, check out the Heroes season 3 episode 1 spoilers.
Heroes Season 3 will be making its return to NBC on Monday September 15th at 8/7c. The return date will feature an all night Heroes event. The first hour will be set aside for a clip show to get fans familiar with the series again. After that will be two hours of the new season.
It’s been speculated for a while now, but sources have told both People Magazine and In Touch Weekly that Milo Ventimiglia, 30, is dating his co-star on NBC’s Heroes, Hayden Panettiere, 18.
A source told In Touch, “He called her his girlfriend and said that he loved her.”
A family friend told People, “She tells her friends that he’s her boyfriend. She’s very proud.”
Here’s a preview video of the first episode of Heroes Volume 3, Villains, which presumably will also kick off the third season. Video quality is not too good unfortunately.
Thanks to his daughter’s blood, Noah’s death was short-lived in Heroes Season 2 Episode 10. Sylar, who hasn’t liked Alejandro from the beginning, killed him and took his sister Maya to see Suresh. At the end of the episode, Peter, Hiro, and Adam all showed up in Odessa, TX, where Hiro was there to kill Adam, sword in hand, but Peter was interested in protecting him.
Suresh returns home to find Sylar waiting for him. Maya’s there with him, cooking breakfast. The niceness won’t last long. Sylar wants to find a cure for the virus, via the combination of Claire’s and Suresh’s blood. Suresh pulls a knife; Sylar pulls a gun. Maya seems shocked to find out that Sylar is a liar. She gets angry and tries to use her powers, but Sylar guilts her into stopping herself.
Nathan tells his mother Peter’s alive. This convinces her to recount her story from the past, how they decided the world needed fixing by being wiped out, but she later was against it. He says she hasn’t changed much, since she tried to blow up New York. After telling Parkman and Nathan to go to Odessa, TX, she warns them to kill Adam with a bullet through the head, and Parkman hears her thinking that they’ll have to kill Peter the same way if they can’t stop him.
Hiro finds Peter and Adam and tries to kill Adam, but Peter uses his powers to protect him. Hiro tells him he shouldn’t trust Adam, that they knew each other a long time ago, and that he killed his father. In turn, Peter warns that he went into the future and saw the problems the virus will cause. He then shocks him unconcious. When time restarts, Adam obviously recognizes his old friend.
Claire’s still considering telling everybody what she can do, as an attempt to avoid any future running and secrets. Her mom’s afraid this choice also carries consequences.
Bob continues to be disappointed with Elle. She goes to see HRG, who tells her about how she was experimented on as a child and how Bob was unfeeling and just wanted to keep pushing her even if she was in pain. Bob walks in because he needs to ask if Claire could have any hard evidence that could leave the Company exposed. HRG just smiles. Bob says they’re going to have to take measures to keep her quiet.
Micah asks Niki for help rescuing Monica. Even without super powers, she can at least still drive.
Peter and Adam are looking for the virus. Peter asks if it’s true that Adam killed Hiro’s father, and he admits it, saying it was due to his unwillingness to destroy the virus. In an effort to get Peter to open the door that stands between them and their goal, Adam brings up Caitlin (and something about the fate of the world).
Maya’s still surprised Alejandro was right all along about Sylar. He offers to take her powers off her hands and help them both. While preparing to be stuck with a needle, he warns Mohinder that his father betrayed him, and that he shouldn’t make the same mistake.
Elle’s doing some snooping. She spots Sylar, which she’s happy about because she still wants to make her father proud.
Monica’s kidnappers tell her heroes in the real world end up dead.
Nathan and Parkman go to Odessa as instructed. Parkman tells him what he overheard, but Nathan just says he’ll handle him and that listening to his mother never did any good. Hiro’s happy to see flying man.
Claire refuses to listen to her mother. Perhaps West can get somewhere, but she just gives him his file and says there isn’t an “us” for him to be worried about any more. When she turns around, she sees her father. Okay, so maybe that’s what she needed to change her mind.
Molly offers to help Maya find Alejandro. She can’t find him because he’s dead. Suresh finds out Sylar has the same strain of the virus Niki has, meaning that somebody injected him. While they’re discussing this, an upset Maya confronts him about killing her brother, so he shoots her.
HRG’s just there to warn Claire not to expose the Company. He has to go back with the Company, and his family can live normal lives, as if he actually did die.
With much difficulty, Peter manages to get the safe open. What’s this thing made out of anyway? Hiro comes to stop Kensei, but Peter flings him against the wall and lets Adam go forward into the vault. Parkman warns Peter to let Hiro go and go after Adam instead, but Peter doesn’t believe him. He tells him he’s on the wrong side. Nathan asks if he’s on the wrong side, too.
Adam tells Hiro that God just washed away the world he was unhappy with by making it rain for 40 days and 40 nights, and that he intends to do the same, releasing the virus and being a hero. Nathan tells Peter about his visit to the past and asks whether he can really trust Adam.
Peter realizes who the actual enemy is, and he grabs the vial containing the virus, destroying it in his hands.
Nathan wants to take this whole thing public and destroy the Company. Of course, he’s being filmed when he says this.
Suresh cures Maya at Sylar’s insistence that he try it on her first. Elle shows up and chases after Sylar.
Monica’s left to die in a burning building. So why doesn’t she use her powers or something? Micah tracks her down, and Niki runs into the burning building to save her. Monica gets out okay, but while Niki’s still inside, the building explodes.
Hiro buries Adam alive, telling Ando he’ll never bother anybody again.
Elle’s afraid she’ll get in trouble for chasing off Sylar, but Suresh thanks her and says they owe her their lives.
Nathan holds a press conference to blow the secret. As he’s about to reveal his ability, he gets shot. His mom warns that Pandora’s box has been opened.
Sylar’s injuries don’t last long. He’s able to heal himself. Beyond that, he can move objects with his mind. He’s back, and so concludes volume two.

Bob escalated his efforts to get Claire’s blood in Heroes Season 2 episode 9, kidnapping her. Her father, however, managed to kidnap Elle, arranging a trade and convincing West to help him for Claire’s sake. While they were making the swap, HRG was killed… briefly.
Peter tells Adam of what he saw in the future, where most of the world’s population was wiped out by the Shanti virus. Adam responds that Victoria Pratt obtained the virus from an Indian girl named Shanti, and that the virus is the crime of the Company founders. Peter wants to find Victoria and get some answers.
Bob goes to see HRG’s family, urn in hand. He offers them some attempt at being kind, saying they will be allowed to lead a normal life. When he goes out to the car, he blames Elle for what happened.
A not dead Noah is being doctored by Suresh, who infused him with his daughter’s blood to save him. The reaction to saving his life? Anger.
Niki returns to Micah, telling him about the virus she has. She tries to convince him Suresh will cure her.
Claiming her brother hates her for the murder of his wife, Sylar teaches Maya how to control her power.
Hiro thinks that maybe Kensei can live forever, and if so, he’d leave a trail.
Peter finds Victoria Pratt and mentions the Company. She pulls a gun on him, but after informing her of his trip to the future, she’s willing to talk.
Hiro and Ando find a picture of Adam Monroe from 1977. Ando says the name sounds familiar, and they find that he came from Primatech. Ignoring his previous vow not to mess with the past again, Hiro goes back in time again anyway. When he gets there, he sees Victoria trying to convince his father to destroy the virus.
Back in the present, Victoria tells Peter he’s looking for mutated strain 138 in New Mexico. When she sees Adam’s there with him, she wants to take both of them out. Except neither of them can be killed by bullets, so that doesn’t work.
When she goes to tell Alejandro the good news, Alejandro tells Maya their new friend Gabriel killed his mother. He says it was self defense and because his mother turned on him after finding out what he was, something Maya can understand. Since Alejandro doesn’t trust Sylar, an argument ensues that gets rid of Alejandro, exactly as intended.
Victoria tells Peter what happened 30 years ago, that Adam’s a killer who broke into the lab to release the virus, and that Peter must be a killer, too, since he’s with him. Now that he knows she lied to him, Peter again asks where the virus is. He can’t get an answer, but he can read her mind: Primatech in Odessa, TX. Adam unties and releases Victoria, who of course goes for a gun to shoot Peter, conveniently allowing Adam to kill her. She had the symbol on her photo as well.
Alejandro’s not quite done yet. He’s back to visit Sylar, insisting he’s taking his sister. Obviously, Sylar’s not having any of this. In the struggle, he kills Alejandro. Maya comes to the door, so Sylar leaves the dead body in the room and goes outside and kisses her.
Following her father’s death, Claire’s family decides to leave. She says it hurts more than falling 20 stories or being on fire. Her plan is to call on the Haitian and have her memory erased, but West tells her forgetting isn’t the answer.
Micah’s upset because his cousin got his dad’s medals stolen. He wants to be a hero and go get the medals, but his mom refuses. Monica, however, is willing to help. While they’re out, Suresh calls to tell Niki that he thinks he may have found a cure, and she goes to tell Micah and discovers he’s not in his bed. Using their powers, they break into the house where the kids who stole the backpack live. They come home just in time to catch Monica in the act.
Claire goes to the ocean to apologize to her father for being selfish and not listening. As she’s saying goodbye to West, she spots Elle spying on her. In an effort to scare Elle, she threatens to tell the world what she can do and that they kidnapped her and killed her father.
Sylar calls Suresh from home and asks for help for himself and Maya.
Like Peter, Hiro’s also on his way to Odessa. When Hiro shows up, he stops time and tells Peter why he’s there. Peter doesn’t want him to kill Adam, and the episode ends with Hiro charging at them with his sword.
Stay tuned to dingoRUE for another live recap of Heroes Season 2 episode 11 Powerless, which airs Monday at 9/8c on NBC.
Spoiler video preview of Heroes Season 2 Episode 10 Truth & Consequences.
Peter meets up with Victoria Pratt and informs her of what the future holds, asking for her help with the virus.
Heroes Season 2 Episode 8 took us back and answered questions. We found out why DL is dead, Maya and Alejandro’s story of their new powers, and what happened to Peter, how he knew Elle and Bob, and how he met Adam. Now Peter remembers that he has to save the world.
HRG still seems to think they’re moving. Claire comes down dressed in her cheerleader outfit and makes it clear she doesn’t care what he says. Then she accuses him of abducting West and says they’ll always be running no matter what she does. Her father’s willing to tie her up if needed, but her mom steps in and lets her go to school to say goodbye.
At his father’s funeral, Hiro’s supposed to speak, but he just gets guilty and blames himself for his father’s death. He decides to go back in time, heading back one week to stop it.
Molly’s back at home and not having any nightmares. Parkman is looking for answers in the photo. Molly volunteers to help, but he declines. He wants her to just be a little girl and uses his powers to covince her to go back to normal.
Bob wants to grab Claire and take out her father. He brings Suresh to his new partner and the person who’s going to carry out the murder, Elle.
West doesn’t believe Claire’s for real and still thinks it’s all a setup. She says it is all just a coincidence, and she lied because she liked him and didn’t want to mess everything up like it has been. Regardless, he doesn’t believe her story or that she’s staying behind for him.
Parkman continues researching the photo while at work. His boss gets upset and tells him he’s got real work to do. With a little mind control, this isn’t really much of an obstacle for Matt.
HRG tells his wife more of the story, showing him the paintings of him, Claire, and Suresh with a gun, and he says he really needs to talk to West. He calls Suresh to ask for his help tracking West down. After hanging up, Suresh goes to talk Elle and Bob into not killing him. Elle’s not interested, but Bob says he’s willing to do it his way.
Hiro breaks the bad news to his father, who refuses help and just accepts his fate. But that doesn’t prevent Hiro from interfering anyway.
HRG gets tired of waiting around. He goes to find West at school, but he doesn’t need to go far, since West is waiting for him right outside. West wants answers. Her father tells West the truth and says he’s guessing he’s pretty important to her since she lied to him and never mentioned having a boyfriend. Then he tells him he’s taking Claire and leaving town, and West will be the one to convince her it’s the right thing to do. Suresh calls and gets them to go to school, though, convincing them Claire’s in danger.
Bob goes to Claire’s school, pretending to be researching underaged drinking. He slips up and calls her by her old name so she takes off. With that, she’s now perfectly willing to leave town. Except when she arrives at home, Bob’s there waiting for her.
Suresh goes to Noah to ask her for Claire so they can get her blood. Unsurprisingly, he doesn’t get a reaction that isn’t hostile. So he pulls out a gun and says “Start driving… please.” Just as Elle’s ready to kill HRG, West swoops down from the sky and saves him. HRG grabs the gun from Mohinder but resists the desire to shoot him for betraying him. When they get home, they find out Bob took Claire, but since they’ve got Elle, they’ve got plenty of room to bargain.
He gives Elle a history lesson, telling her the story of how they brought her in and performed tests on her. Obviously, she doesn’t remember any of this. Bob calls, and Noah offers a trade, Claire for Elle. Bob still manages to get some of Claire’s blood.
Hiro takes his father back to the day his mother died, running into little Hiro. In the process of talking to his younger self, Hiro learns that he must allow his father to die as he originally did. Before dying, Kaito tells Hiro he’s proud of him. Hiro’s no dummy, though. He sticks around to find out who the killer is: Takezo Kensei.
Parkman goes to Angela to get the truth. With some convincing, she tells him it was Adam Monroe, who has cellular regeneration like Claire, which after a while made him stop growing old.
West goes with HRG to save Claire and gets instructions to fly her out immediately, no matter what else happens. As they’re flying away, Elle breaks free and zaps West. HRG wants to kill Bob to kill the Company, but Suresh shoots HRG first instead, making another of Isaac’s paintings come true.
Claire’s guilty because the last thing she ever said to her father was this morning, when she said “I hate you.”
Hiro’s now able to give a speech about his father, saying that he will live on in the lessons he taught.
Claire’s blood proves to be as useful as had been expected. The previously dead Noah is hooked up to a tube, and he wakes up.
