What happened in Eris Quod Sum
In Words:
In Africa, Hiro tells Ando he won’t go back in time to figure out how to defeat the villains, despite the fact the world itself is at stake. Usutu says Hiro must choose his own path, or have it chosen for him.
Mohinder threatens Tracy and Nathan, and Tracy summons her freezing power. Mohinder pleads for one more sample so he can relieve Maya of her power. When they refuse, he leaps over them, rips Maya from her cocoon, and leaves through the skylight.
Peter is sedated and remembering how Nathan told him their father died, and then how he found Arthur alive and drained his powers. He wakes up to find himself handcuffed to a lab table at Pinehearst with Arthur waiting for him. Arthur explains Peter’s powers are gone forever and he’s working for the greater good. Peter says he’s seen the future and Arthur wants him to help so they can prevent that future. Peter insists that he’ll stop Arthur, who tells him he’s grounded.
Claire and Sandra return home and Sandra tries to support Claire, noting she’s proud of how her daughter is handling all of their situations. As they get out of the car, the lights flicker and they go inside to find Lyle unconscious on the floor. Recovering consciousness, he says the “bitch is back", and Claire finds Elle sitting at the computer, electrical arcs spreading from her body. Claire tells her to get out and Elle tries to electrify her but has no success as Claire regenerates the damage instantly. Claire prepares to toss her out and Elle judo throws her to the ground, but Lyle throws a bucket of water on her, short circuiting her powers. Elle apologizes, saying she needs help and she has nowhere else to go.
At Pinehearst, Mohinder considers the unconscious Maya, who is contained in a laboratory. Arthur introduces himself and notes he took deliberate efforts to make sure everyone believed him dead. Mohinder insists he’d do anything to keep his promise and cure Maya of her abilities. Arthur goes in, touches her, and drains her abilities into himself. Arthur looks up, his eyes briefly black before reverting to normal. Mohinder goes into the lab but Maya tells him to stay away. Outside, Mohinder asks if Arthur can take away his abilities, and Arthur wonders if he wants them removed. Arthur then takes him into the lab and shows him the two halves of the formula, and they need Mohinder to take it to the next step. Mohinder is suspicious of their agenda but Arthur tells him to leave if he doesn’t trust them. Mohinder considers it… and then asks for test subjects.
Angela is dreaming of Level 5 and appears in Sylar's mind as he lies in the coma where Peter put him. Sylar insists he belongs there and notes the cell is blocking his abilities, but Angela points out she couldn’t be there if there were the case. She says he doesn’t know what he’s capable of, tells him to rescue Peter, and says for him to make her proud. He concentrates and frees himself from his bonds and breaks the cell door open, then says goodbye to his comatose mother, promising to save Peter.
Elle continues to give off random electricity and explains that she can’t eat or sleep. She tells Claire that Daphne contacted her and said that Pinehearst could help her with her condition, but Elle believes Noah has always known what’s been going on so she came to his house. Claire wonders if they can fix any condition and worries that she may soon stop feeling anything. Elle is less than sympathetic but Claire says they should go together. Elle agrees.
Daphne checks in with Arthur who wants to know why she hasn’t recruited Matt. They wonder if she was thinking something that might discourage Matt from joining. Knox picks up on her fear and she asks how she can fix it. Arthur tells her to kill Matt, much to Maury’s surprise. Maury says he’s promised his loyalty in return for Matt’s safety. When he tries to interfere, Arthur casually snaps his neck using telekinesis, and Daphne insists there must be another way.
Claire prepares to leave and Sandra wants to call Noah. Claire asks that she keep it a secret and Sandra agrees, telling Claire to toss a glass of water on Elle if she’s get out of hand.
Matt tries to get hold of Mohinder from his apartment and opens the door to find Daphne pointing a gun at him. She explains that her employers think she betrayed them and she has to kill him to prove herself. He dares her to shoot but she tells him to turn around. Matt describes their future together, Daphne considers his words… and drops the gun. She apologizes to him and he reads her mind, learning that Arthur killed his father.
Arthur goes to Peter’s chamber to find that he’s freed himself. Peter attacks him but Arthur easily deflects his attack with borrowed telekinesis. They re-restrain Peter and take him to Mohinder’s lab where the doctor prepares to inject him with a new version of the formula to give him powers. Peter says Mohinder warned him not to manipulate powers in the future. To prove his vision, Mohinder asks Peter what he saw of him in the future. Peter confirms that he saw Mohinder transformed into a monster, and Mohinder notes that it’s too late. As Mohinder prepares to give Peter the injection, Sylar arrives and telekinetically throws Mohinder and Dr. Livitz back and starts to free Peter. Mohinder attacks Sylar and knocks him unconscious, while Arthur arrives and tries to stop Peter, who escapes. Arthur then stops Mohinder from beating Sylar, explaining the latter is his son and he’s been waiting a long time to be reunited with him.
Nathan and Tracy consider Mohinder’s cocooned victims and wonder if they can be freed. Mark Spatney reaches out for Tracy, but Meredith and Noah arrive and Noah tasers Spatney unconscious. Meanwhile, Elle and Claire are flying to Pinehearst in New Jersey. Claire wants to hunt down villains and Elle says she has it better off. When Claire reminds Elle that she was responsible for the Level 5 escape, Elle starts to panic, releasing electricity and interfering with the electrical systems. Claire offers her hand to ground the electricity and working together, they keep the plane from crashing.
Daphne is telling Matt what happened and warns they’ll be coming from him. Knox is outside and senses their fear, and breaks in. Daphne tries to run and Knox clotheslines her, audibly breaking her neck. Matt immobilizes Knox and then digs inside his head to find his worst fear. Knox notes that Matt is the one who’s afraid and further enhances his strength, putting his fist through Matt’s chest. Knox considers their bodies and leaves… and the entire mental illusion disappears. Daphne says that they should run but Matt insists on fighting them. Daphne warns it won’t bring Maury back but Matt insists he’s a cop and he deals with lawbreakers like Knox. Daphne says he needs help and Matt suggests they go to Primatech.
Flint seals the building but a captive Sylar warns that Peter has escaped. Arthur doesn’t believe him and says that Angela isn’t what he thinks he is. Arthur says that Angela sent Sylar to rescue her favorite son, Peter, and she’s using Sylar as a disposable weapon. He explains that Angela had a dream when he was born, a dream so terrifying that she tried to kill Sylar. Arthur claims he saved Sylar from drowning and frees him, then offers him his hand.
Peter is still in the building and trying to make his way to the lobby. Mohinder arrives but doesn’t see him, and then goes to confront Maya who is preparing to leave. She warns him to stay away, saying she can never trust him again. Mohinder says his feelings were real but she says what he did in her name was wrong. She plans to make amends for what she has done, and tells him to do the same.
Claire and Elle arrive at Pinehearst and Elle starts discharging electricity again. Elle thanks Claire for taking care of her despite how unpleasantly she treated her. Meanwhile, Peter finds Sylar, who says that Arthur told him the truth. Peter warns that Arthur can’t be trusted but Arthur arrives and says they can change the future that Peter saw. Sylar says that he’s not going anywhere, but Peter is… and telekinetically pushes his brother out the window where he falls seven stories to the sidewalk in front of Claire and Elle. Elle notes that Peter isn’t healing and he explains that Arthur took his ability. Claire tries to get him to the car but Elle insists on going inside so she can get her malfunctioning power removed. As Claire gets Peter away, they both wonder how he survived the fall.
The Company is removing Mohinder’s victims from his lab while Nathan admits that Mohinder injected them with a tranquilizer. Noah wants them to come in to the Company for testing. Nathan takes a call while Meredith warns Tracy to watch out for Nathan. Tracy says they’re not together but Meredith is skeptical. The call is from Claire.
Sylar warns Arthur that Peter won’t give up and Arthur agrees, and then wonders how Peter survived the fall. Sylar claims ignorance and Arthur receives a call… from Daphne. She says she’s convinced Matt she’s on his side. Arthur warns that if she screws it up, he’ll put her back where he found her.
Claire is tending to Peter’s wounds, and he wonders if Sylar covertly broke his fall using telekinesis to maintain his cover as a villain. Nathan and Tracy arrive and Peter explains that he isn’t healing because Arthur took his powers. Nathan is skeptical since he was there at their father’s death, but Peter insists that they have to stop their father before he kills them all. Nathan insists on seeing Arthur against Peter’s advice and Claire gives him the location of Pinehearst. Tracy recognizes the company’s name. Nathan finally agrees with Peter and goes to call the Justice Department to shut the company down. Once Nathan leaves with Tracy, she notes that Nathan plans on going there anyway. He wonders how she knows about Pinehearst and she says that she takes a consulting fee from them and can get them in. Nathan insists that he plans on going there and busting down a few doors.
Usutu is making his precognitive food and explains it is a family recipe that has existed for thousands of years and is used for spirit walking. Hiro is still reluctant to travel back in time but wants to find a way to determine his enemy’s weaknesses. Usutu offers him some of the precognitive food and Hiro unwittingly eats it. Usutu then explains that one goes on a spirit walk by eating the food. Hiro’s eyes turn white and he collapses, and Usutu admits to Ando that he tricked Hiro to force him to accept his destiny.
Zeljko Ivanek to Hunt Heroes in Fugitives
Fans of Homicide: Life on the Streets should be giddy about now, because if you love that show, and you love Heroes, then one of the best character actors out there today who used to work on the former show has just joined the latter show. Or at least, he will be. Zeljko Ivanek, who played A.D.A. Ed Danvers on Homicide: Life on the Streets (and who just won an Emmy for his role in the cable TV show Damages), has been cast on Heroes as the enigmatically named “The Hunter”. What exactly will he be hunting? How about our Heroes? Ivanek will be making his first appearance in Episode 14 of Season 3, the very first episode of the season’s new volume, “Fugitives”, which kicks off a new storyline after the events in the current “Villains” volume.
More from Kristin over at E! Online:
According to insiders, the Hunter’s first appearance is in episode 14, which kicks off Volume Four: Fugitives. (Heroes creator Tim Kring is writing the Fugitives premiere!)
I’m told that Volume Four will begin in late January or early February 2009, and since it is all about fugitives, the role of the Hunter sounds pretty key, don’t you think? Tommy Lee Jones has nothing on this newbie, from what I hear…
Zeljko Ivanek is not exactly an imposing figure, so my guess is that to make up for the lack of height and physical menace, his character will probably have a power that makes him a formidable foe for the fugitive Heroes he’ll be hunting.

What happened in Angels and Monsters!
Nathan and Tracy are in bed and Nathan wonders about all the changes in his life. He's happy that God has given him a second chance. He then gets out of bed and goes to the kitchen, where he finds Linderman waiting for him. Nathan believes Linderman is a hallucination but Linderman vaguely assures him that he's not. Linderman claims to have been sent from a higher power to warn Nathan that Tracy was in danger, but Nathan doesn't believe it. Tracy comes out and wonders who Nathan is talking to.
Mohinder is in the park and approaches a drug dealer and asks for something to take the edge off. The drug dealer is leery about getting involved. Mohinder grabs him and says he needs the dealer himself.
Peter grabs Sylar, who taunts him about the fact they're brothers. Peter snaps his neck, then turns to see his mother Angela at the observation window. He telekinetically grabs her and asks what other secrets she's hiding from him besides the fact that Sylar is his brother. He starts to slice open her skull but Sylar heals his neck injury and telekinetically knocks Peter unconscious. Noah Bennet arrives and tells Sylar to come with him because they have a lead on another Level 5 escapee.
Sandra has realized that Claire lied about going to a cheerleading retreat. Meredith arrives and they conclude that Claire is going after the Level 5 escapees. One of the files Sandra has located refers to Stephen Canfield, who can create black-hole vortexes through force of will. Meredith sees a file on Eric Doyle and warns that he's the most dangerous of the lot. She gets Doyle's address from the file and promises to rescue Claire if necessary. Sandra offers to come with her but Meredith notes she has no powers and it's going to be dangerous.
Canfield is at his former home, now empty, on the phone with his sister. She refuses to tell him where his family is. He gets angry and hangs up, and creates a vortex that sucks in small items. Claire comes up behind him by surprise and tasers him unconscious.
Adam reaches up and chokes Hiro, who tries to explain that they need his help. Adam refuses to listen and Hiro stops time to put him back in his coffin. Hiro explains to Ando that they have no choice but to seek out Adam's help. He releases Adam again and explains that they're looking for the missing formula. Adam notes that he told the Company to destroy the formula but they didn't listen. He refuses to cooperate unless they let him ago, but has no choice when Hiro refuses to negotiate. He says that Angela is probably responsible, but Hiro points out he's working for her. Adam suggests that there could be another possibility.
Linderman meets with Daphne at the Pinehearst Company and wants to have her join a new group of special individuals that he's assembling. She agrees as long as she's paid, and he hands her a file containing photos of the people she needs to recruit, like Knox. Daphne is concerned that he's dangerous, but Linderman informs her that all they need is a little guidance.
As they drive to Canfield's location, Noah warns Sylar that he's only working with him on Angela's orders, and Sylar wonders if he'll ever forgive him.
Canfield recovers from the taser and says that he's no killer and that all he wants is a chance to find his family. Claire is unsympathetic and he tells her she has to listen, then creates a vortex to suck away her taser.
Mohinder brings the drug dealer back to his laboratory but is forced to hide his body when Maya comes back. She shows him a "Missing" poster of his neighbor, but Mohinder feigns ignorance. As they talk, she notices a trail of blood left by the drug dealer's corpse. She quickly makes an exit and Mohinder goes into the next room where the neighbor is cocooned to a wall.
Canfield explains to Claire that he only made one mistake, killing a neighbor in an argument. Claire gets a call and Canfield wonders if she's working with the Company. When he realizes she doesn't have a human partner, he asks if she's with Pinehearst. She's never heard of it. He then explains that the Company locked him away with no lawyer and no trial, and no chance to say goodbye to his family. Canfield says that all he wants is a normal life. Sympathizing, Claire offers to help him find his family.
Tracy is leaving Nathan's apartment and clearly something is bothering her. Nathan finally gets her to admit that she killed the Washington D.C. reporter by accident. She wants to turn herself in but he warns that no one will believe her claim, and that he was shot when he tried to go public. He still insists that it was God that brought him back from the dead and gave him his powers. Tracy tells him that she got her powers from experimentation by Dr. Zimmerman.
Claire uses the Company files to locate Canfield's wife and children. He calls his wife and sets up a meeting at the carousel at Griffith Park. As Claire leaves, Canfield's phone goes dead. Noah comes in with his gun at ready and Canfield realizes he's Claire's father. He grabs Claire as Sylar comes in, which shocks Claire. Realizing she didn't try to set him up, Canfield tells her to grab on to something and then creates a vortex. He runs out while the vortex starts to pull in the flooring. Claire tries to hold on to a pipe but loses her grip. Sylar rescues her. The vortex dissipates and Sylar tries to apologize to Claire, realizing what he put her through. Claire refuses to accept his apology and Noah tells Sylar never to talk to his daughter again. He tries to explain that Canfield is dangerous but Claire insists that Canfield is a man who made one mistake. Noah switches tactics and offers to talk peacefully to Canfield so they can make other arrangements.
Adam takes Hiro and Ando to a bar where persons with special abilities can be hired. The bartender, Milosh, is angry at Adam for having an affair with his wife. He throws a punch at Adam and knocks out Hiro by mistake, then chases Adam out of the bar. Ando tries to revive Hiro without success.
Nathan and Tracy go to the Primatech facility where Angela is keeping Peter sedated. She warns that now that Peter has Sylar's ability, they are in serious trouble. She knows about Zimmerman and says they have no way to reverse his experimentation on Tracy. She explains that Zimmerman helped the Company develop a synthetic ability drug and Tracy, Niki, and Barbara were some of his test subjects. She also informs Nathan that his ability to fly came from similar experimentation.
Maya returns to Mohinder's laboratory while he's out and finds the neighbor in the cocoon. She gets up on a chair and tries to free him, but Mohinder returns. She hides underneath a gurney while Mohinder notices that someone was there. She panics and both Mohinder and the neighbor's eyes turn black as her ability kicks in. Mohinder convinces her to stop before she kills them. She calls him a monster and he says he wishes she didn't say that. He then attacks her.
Hiro and Ando try to find Adam without success. As they go down the alleyway, Adam crawls out of a dumpster but Knox renders him unconscious and dumps him into a van. He then makes a call and asks the person at the other end what to do with Hiro and Ando.
Nathan reads the Company files on the synthetic ability experiments. Angela explains that Arthur Petrelli was disappointed that Nathan didn't have the genetic code for special powers, so authorized experimentation to give him flight. Angela apologizes for the experiments on Tracy and says they tried to make amends by splitting the formula in half so no one could recreate it. Now someone has stolen both halves and she wants Tracy to help them get it back. Nathan is furious and leaves, and Tracy goes with him. Outside, Nathan suggests they go to Mohinder for help.
At the lab, Mohinder is cocooning Maya against a wall.
Claire goes to Griffith Park where Canfield is supposed to meet his wife. He tells her that his wife never showed up and that she's afraid of him. He wonders if they're right when they think he's a monster. Noah arrives and points a gun at Canfield's head, then tells him he wants to make a deal: Canfield is free to go if he disposes of Sylar. Claire is furious at her father for abusing an innocent man. Canfield refuses, saying he's not a murderer. Sylar is at the car and starts to notice something is wrong when they argue. As Sylar approaches and Noah gives Canfield one final chance, the escapee says he refuses to become a monster then creates a vortex which sucks himself in.
Hiro and Ando are drinking at the bar and Hiro insists they can't lose heart; the world is depending on them. Ando comments that it can't get any worse. As that is said Daphne and Knox enter the bar. They want to offer Hiro a job. Hiro says they're badasses and wants to sign up. Daphne says that it isn't that easy and that he has to prove himself. Knox takes a sword from the wall, gives it to Hiro, and says he has to kill Ando. Hiro takes the sword, apologizes to Ando (noting some sacrifices have to be made), and stabs his friend.
Noah drives Claire home, explaining that he did what he had to to protect his family. Sylar is in the back and says that Claire finally sees Noah for what he really is; a user who doesn't consider either one of them human beings. Noah asks if Claire understands and she says she does. She goes inside and Sandra greets her, then wonders if Meredith found her. Claire says she doesn't know anything about Meredith.
In a house filled with puppets, Meredith is seated at a table eating spaghetti with Eric Doyle. He controls her every movement, forcing her to eat with him, remain silent, and kiss him.
Angela is in her office when she hears a woman's scream. She goes outside and finds Tracy on the floor, her throat cut. Nathan is there, his skull cut open. Peter staggers down the hallway, a pipe rammed through the back of his head. She turns and a man grabs her and says that her power to see the future is too dangerous and she must die. She insists she'll stop him but he tells her that she won't even be able to move. Angela wakes up from her dream...and finds herself paralyzed.
Daphne superspeed runs to Pinehearst and informs Linderman that she's recruited everyone, including Hiro. She's not happy that she was involved with murder but Linderman notes that some things are necessary. He then tells her there is one more person to recruit: Matt Parkman. Linderman explains what Matt can do and she agrees to find him. However, as she leaves she notes she's fast enough to sneak up on everyone...except Linderman. She waves her hand through Linderman, revealing that he's not really there. He tells her that how he's there doesn't matter. As she superspeeds away, "Linderman" disappears... and Maury Parkman emerges from the shadows.
Maury goes inside Pinehearst and enters a medical chamber. A figure is resting on a bed hooked up to life support equipment. Maury talks to the man and says they're following his orders, and have Adam well in hand. The man on the bed looks up; it's Arthur Petrelli.
Mohinder is in the park and approaches a drug dealer and asks for something to take the edge off. The drug dealer is leery about getting involved. Mohinder grabs him and says he needs the dealer himself.

What Happened In 'I Become Death'+Video
Is there anyone who didn’t feel a little bit lost with this episode? I’m left with lots of questions and I am definitely confused. The line between good and bad has become even more blurry. At least, now we know Sylar’s real power is. Now let’s take a look at what has happened in this episode.
I’ll start with Mohinder, probably the most stupid scientist that has ever lived on TV universe. Since he has injected himself with the formula, he has totally become a creep and his situation isn’t getting any better. In the future scenes, he becomes even creepier and doesn’t want to show his face.
Tracy pays a visit to his creator, Dr. Zimmerman. He reveals that Niki, Tracy and Barbara are triplets whom separated at birth. He also informs that she got her superpowers by DNA manipulation, not at birth. This leaves us with the question are there any other heroes that we know who got powers with the help of Company. Later on she attempts suicide but Nathan flies and saves her. Now both are aware of each other’s power, they kiss and cuddle and in the future we see them as a couple.
The rift between Ando and Hiro grows. Still, Ando helps Hiro to escape from the cell but Haitian captures and takes them to Angela. She asks about the formula. When Hiro tells her that he has lost it, she sends them to get the key to solve the mystery behind formula. The key is Adam Monroe, who wasn’t happy to see Hiro once again.
Let’s come to the hard part. Last week, Future Peter took off with Present Peter. He takes them to the future where anyone can purchase abilities and the line between right and wrong is blurry. Peter –both future and present- seems to be on one side while Claire, Knox, Daphne and Haitian on the other one. Claire Clan aims to kill Peter whom they call a ruthless murderer. On the other hand Peter wants to form an army with people who have abilities. At their first encounter, Claire manages to kill Future Peter which I though was impossible since Peter has her power and she’s IMMORTAL. Present Peter escapes and visits Sylar.
Sylar is living happily with his son Noah at the Bennet house. He acts friendly towards Peter. Peter, with all his confusions, asks Sylar about his power and tells him that he needs to get it in order to save the world. Sylar warns Peter about the hunger he feels, and consequences of his power. Now we know what Sylar can really do, to understand how things work. Since Peter and Sylar are brothers, they both have a similar ability. Does this mean Nathan got his ability after he was born? His power isn’t anything like the other two.
While they were exchanging powers, Claire, Knox and Daphne barge in. Sylar doesn’t seem to have a side but Claire definitely holds a grudge against him. During the battle Knox kills Noah; Sylar goes atomic, explodes and kills 200,000 people.
Somewhere between these events, we learn that Daphne is the woman from the drawings that Matt saw in Africa. In the future they are married with a child. Molly also lives with them. After Daphne escapes from the explosion, she goes back home to Matt, and dies in his arms. (Another drawing from previous episode.
Peter and Claire also survive and Claire tortures Peter for every single person that has died because of the explosion. Nathan comes in and stops her. Nathan understands that Peter doesn’t trust him, so he asks Peter to read his mind. While doing so, things get out of control and Peter gives into the hunger and becomes the monster he always thought Sylar was. Btw, after Haitian leaves the room Peter can use all his powers, but he can’t heal? Why didn’t the scars immediately disappear? That was kind of silly.
Back in the present day, Matt wakes up from his future dream and starts following a turtle as his spirit totem that will guide him to change the future. Really, a turtle? Does this mean Matt’s stay in Africa will become Hiro’s boring Japan story arc? I hope not because I really really like Matt and his ability is too cool to be spent at a desert.
