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.
