The finale of the first volume. All the stories are summed up and reach a conclusion as a new volume unfolds before our eyes. First things first.
Sylar draws the painting that shows him and Peter at Kirby Plaza facing each other. After Ando's visit, who tries to stop him, Hiro arrives and saves Ando just in time. After that, Sylar leaves for Kirby Plaza.
Meanwhile, Hiro accepts his own fate and after he saves Ando he teleports him back in Tokyo (at Yamagato Industries) after he realizes that he must end his mission alone. He admits that Ando's courageous act to go after Sylar gave him strength to face his destiny and kill Sylar (he does in fact stab him and after he is sent at nearby building by Sylar; fortunately he manages to teleport before he is hurt).
Niki and DL escape after DL killed Linderman and Niki runs to save Micah as well. There Niki faces Jessica (or so she thinks) when she realizes that she has the strength (and she always did) to defeat anyone. The Jessica she was fighting turns out to be Candice's illusion. When she saves Micah, she notices that Jessica is gone as well.
Mohinder with Molly try to escape Sylar. There they find Niki, DL and Micah and together they head to Kirby Plaza. Peter tries to leave New York with Claire and turns to his brother for help. Realizing that he can't help him he runs away. Claire stays with Angela and Nathan (after a phone call by her father to do so) but she escapes later when she realizes that Nathan doesn't want to save the world. Peter faints when he tries to control once more his exploding power. In a dream or time travel (we don't know, we assume it's a dream) Peter witnesses a conversation between his mother and Charles Deveaux where we see that both of them knew about the bomb already. Angela's plan was that Nathan would be the one the people would turn to after the explosion of New York but Charles believes that Peter is going to be the one to save the world by stopping the bomb (I really enjoyed the whole the world is going to be destroyed there's nothing we can do idea of Angela on the one hand and Charles more optimistic plan). Waking up he finds Noah Bennet (yes we find out his name which it was supposed to be something to look forward to; personally I didn't realize I haven't heard his first name until this scene). Together they head to Kirby Plaza with a promise by Noah to kill Peter if things got out of hand. In the end, we see a stabbed (by Hiro) Sylar, a shot Matt (with the bullets of his own gun as Sylar sent them back at him), a wounded Noah, a sad Claire, a reunited family (Niki, Micah and DL), a Hiro who has teleported away and the Petrelli brothers flying in the air stopping the explosion from destroying New York City. All of this lead to a Sylar escaping (yes Sylar is still alive), Matt is led to the hospital (alive as well), Claire and Noah talk about returning home, Hiro is stuck in the past (Japan 1671 actually) and us not knowing what happened to the Petrelli brothers (we know that Peter is alive thanks to a certain cheerleader but we don't know about Nathan). Most of these and more questions being asked at the beginning of volume 2 will be answered in chapter 8 of volume 2 entitled: Four months ago. For now just enjoy the quick preview of the next volume entitled Generations.
Key facts: Charles Deveaux does have an ability which it is revealed in volume 4. This is the last appearance of Tawny Cypress (aka Simone). Also Jessica is gone for good and Hiro is not the innocent man we enjoyed this volume. He becomes a little bit darker and more mature in the next volumes, a transformation which happens to Claire also but at the end of the next volume.

this episode is most I love.
I enjoyed the finale not just the excitement of who really did explode and did they save New York City but also how each character was brought together at the ending all doing there part in the time line to stop the bomb
story, tempo, human being,charactor sooo goood !!!
Heroes converges on Kirby Plaza for the final showdown.
Peter was the bomb after all, I am so exiting..! What is going on.. but Nathan arrives!
He save peter? Both exploded?
where is hiro ? Sylar is living ... ?
I can't wait next season! I really love this show.
Average is not good enough for season end hide show
I most say it was little disappointing. The end of last episode, with all those pieces set promised so much better - it promised a real action packed, high stakes episode but what was it - sadly not that. The end was brilliant, someway.. as it was Peter still in the end and Nathan decided to change sides.. but .. I was hoping more, much more.
I cannot say it was bad.. The whole Peter realizing who he is talk in that roof was good and there was some action.. and then everyone together on that square.. That was good turn.. but.. I was hoping more.
Niki and D.L. reunite with Micah. Niki finally dominates over Jessica and unleashes her strength for the first time on her own. Matt, Mohinder, and Bennet use Molly to find Sylar. Peter has another dream. Ando confronts Sylar. Everyone converges on Kirby Plaza for the final showdown. Mr. Bennet, Matt, Niki, Peter and Hiro heroically battle Sylar. Nathan makes a tough decision regarding the future. How come most of you Heroes fans on this site hate this episode I thought it was brilliant, it was very exciting and it had me wanting to watch more leaving us with many great cliffhangers e.g what happened to Peter and Nathan, will D.L and Matt survive and will Hiro get back to the present day. This episode was great I thought it was just as good as many of my favourite episodes of Heroes so far like Homecoming, Fallout, Company Man, Five Years Gone and Landslide. All in all heroes season one was brilliant, with many superb episodes and a brilliant season finale, can't wait for season two to come on television over here in the UK.
The finale of volume one wasn't bad at all. hide show
Overall I really enjoyed the finale, there were some goofs here and there for me, and I didn't think Claire got a big enough part in this episode besides being kinda whiny, but it was still superb. After D.L.'s murder of Linerman, he and Niki get out of that room and into the hall. Niki leaves D.L. to find Micah and promises to come back to him. She comes into this room where Candice is, pretending to be Jessica. She beats Niki up a bit, but Niki manages to control her super strength on her own and in one punch knocks out Candice and finds Micah. Molly helps Mohinder find Sylar, and together the two of them go downstairs where they are united with Niki, Micah, and D.L. At this point Peter has found out where Sylar is, and they are fighting. Matt tries to shoot Sylar but the bullets are reversed back to him. Maybe he died. Noah Bennett was thrown back by Sylar a while back. While Peter is going radioactive, Hiro pops out of nowhere and stabs Sylar (woot woot), but before he dies(?) he sends Hiro flying. Claire's about to shoot Peter, but Nathan comes and after a emotional moment flies Peter out to space where he explodes.
I don't know what happens to the rest of them and I can't wait to see the next season! I wonder if Peter, Nathan, Sylar, Matt, and D.L. survived. What has happened to Jessica as well... and Hiro, of course. Excited!
Explanation: Apparently Peter can only use 1 borrowed ability/power at a time. Since he was using Ted Sprague's radioactive ability he probably couldn't use Nathan's power of flight. [edit]
